    Summary

    “Am I speaking with Ilya Grigorievich Rozanov?”

    Ilya went silent immediately. That was not his brother’s voice. Nor was it Katia’s, his sister-in-law’s. It was an aristocratic, cold voice. He went completely still.

    “Yes.”

    “I’m calling from the Child Services Department, Ilya Grigorievich,” the woman continued, and Ilya frowned deeply. “Your brother Alexei Rozanov and his wife died yesterday in a car accident.”

    Twice in his life, Ilya had felt like this. The ice around his heart melted just enough for the numbness to vanish and give way to a sharp, stinging pain. It lasted only two seconds before he managed to compose himself. He didn’t want to feel anything for Alexei, so even if Katia’s death carried a trace of sadness—she was a mess, but she always tried to smile at him and cook warm meals for him when he visited Russia—, he dismissed the feeling entirely.

    “So what?”

    “You are the only living family member of their daughter. Your brother named you as her legal guardian, Ilya Grigorievich.”

    Summary

    Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.

    It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

    (Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

    Summary

    “Hey, Robbie?”

    “Hm? Oh, what’s up, Sonar?”

    Shit. What is up? The sky?? (He looks up as he walks, just to check.) He hasn’t planned this far. He turns to Malevola for help, but she unfortunately seems just as confused as him.

    “Preferably today, Sonar.”

    “Fffuck. Um. H-hey Robbie—”

    “You said that already—”

    “Are you free tonight?”

    Or: after Robert fires Coupé over Sonar, the latter invites him out for a drink. It doesn’t take long for the two to catch feelings for each other, and for them to get closer. Over the course of the following weeks, they find out just how much they have in common, and only fall deeper in love.

    But love between a recovering addict and a traumatized, depressed dispatcher isn’t as picture-perfect as in the movies, and Robert and Sonar, as well as the entire Z-Team, face trial after trial on their road to redemption. Who knows how much our imperfect heroes can take before they falter?
