    Summary

    A few seconds later, a news anchor’s voice grows to startling clarity. A clip plays of Rozanov shooting from the goal crease and making it into the net.
    “...Montreal Metros to acquire center Ilya Rozanov from the Boston Raiders for the upcoming season. The two teams have sustained a bitter rivalry for years, and it has only worsened worsened with Hollander and Rozanov’s participation. All of this makes the trade an unlikely one; however, it seems to be just the right time for the Metros to snag a star like Rozanov. After many lackluster performances from the Metros these past few months, it only makes sense…”
    The anchor continues as a clip of Rozanov from a post-game interview last year plays—he’s shirtless and sweaty, smirking into the camera. And then he does that…that wink. Shane just stares up at the screen, dumbfounded. He’s not listening to the details anymore, but the words echo in his head.
    Metros to acquire Ilya Rozanov…
    His team to acquire Rozanov.
    “This is bullshit,” he mutters, turning and trying not to stomp off like an upset child.

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Shane's team and Shane is not happy about it

    Summary

    Benedict's heart stuttered against his ribcage, his mouth going dry. There was something about her eyes - open, steady, fearless in a way that left him oddly breathless. And had he mentioned her lips?

    He realized he had been quiet for a moment too long. He cleared his throat and fixed a smile back onto his face. “Thank you, Sophie - Ms. Baek. I look forward to working with you.”

    ***

    Sophie Baek is a fresh-faced associate at Bridgerton Atelier, determined to earn her place. There's no room for distractions, no matter how stupidly attractive her boss is.

    Benedict Bridgerton, newly installed as acting CEO of his family’s architecture firm, is tired of work and everything it demands. Until he meets Sophie.

    By day, their professionalism teeters. By night, both allow themselves to slip into an anonymous online connection - though something about it seems hauntingly familiar...

    “Storm’ll last at least six days, maybe more,” he tells her. “I’m Willix.” The woman just stares at him and he sighs, shaking his head. “This’ll be a long six days if I don’t know what to refer to you by.”

    “I’d prefer it if you didn’t have to refer to me at all.”
