    Summary

    Shane’s heart drops into his stomach. “Ilya,” he breathes. His vision goes blurry, throat tight. He tries to swallow it down and focus, shove his swirling thoughts into a neat little box, but it’s impossible. He feels—he might throw up, actually. “Are you seriously telling me you tried to fucking kill yourself?”

    “Yes,” Ilya agrees blandly, “It did not work.”

    Ilya calls Shane from the hospital. Shane handles it very normally.

    Summary

    If there’s ever been any doubt in his mind just how much Shane loves this man, it vanishes with the glossy blankness of Ilya’s expression. Blood from a stone indeed.

    “My father was very fair,” Ilya says immediately, and it’s got the rigid, almost mechanical emphasis of something practiced a thousand times. “If I was bad, I pay price. No problem.”

    “I think maybe we have a different definition of the word fair.”

    “Yes,” Ilya admits. “Probably. Shane thinks so.”

    Summary

    Three things happen when Alexei Rozanov is eighteen. He finishes school and enters a life already decided for him. He marries a woman he does not love out of duty rather than belief. And he learns, too early, that silence can pass for strength. Over the years that follow, Alexei becomes very good at enduring—at wearing the uniform, holding his tongue and letting distance harden into habit.
    His younger brother Ilya grows up in his shadow and then outpaces it: brilliant on the ice, volatile, gifted with a future that seems to open effortlessly before him. Where Alexei learns how to disappear, Ilya learns how to burn. Between them stretches a widening gap shaped by duty, fear, and everything neither of them knows how to say.

    Until a phone call brings news and, maybe, a chance.
