    Summary

    Shane’s preferences are simple: older, rougher, married men who lie to their wives and gone before morning.

    Ilya Rozanov is nineteen, Russian, and already moving into his dorm.

    Cue in covert hookups, stupidly questionable life choices, and a rookie who stares at Shane like he’s a particularly fascinating bug under a microscope.

    Now he has to explain why he keeps getting texts from "Mr. Chicago" while trying to teach this kid how to use the campus laundry without melting his sweaters.

    Campus life promised new experiences. It failed to mention the experience of being psychologically dissected over instant ramen by a stupidly handsome blond Russian who hasn't blinked in seven minutes.

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya’s oldest son, Maks, is a little different. People always assume goalies are a little weird, and he is…a little weird. He knows weird things about superheroes.  He speaks Russian and French and English (and a little Norwegian, there’s a rookie on the team and he doesn’t speak much English so…). He likes to do origami to calm his nerves. He talks to dogs like they’re people. He mumbles to himself as he skates back and forth in the crease to create the perfect divots and thanks the goalposts when they make a good save. He listens to whale noises when he works out. And he’s not someone who can just sleep with someone with no strings attached.

    So it takes a lot for Maks to have this encounter with the woman in the pie shop.

    Summary

    “We had a visitor waiting when we got back to the house tonight.” Yuna finally spoke. “It was, of course, alarming to find a stranger in our driveway, a car we didn’t recognize, a person we didn’t recognize.”

    “Okay.” Ilya intently listened, nodding at everything.

    “She explained that she had found me through the foundation, and wanted to reach out to me before she did anything else.” Her hands reassuringly squeezed around Ilya’s ones, eyes never leaving his even for a second. With a deep breath in, she closed her eyes. “She told us her name is Irina. Irina Sergeevna Rozanova.”

    OR

    Irina Rozanova survives her suicide attempt but goes into hiding. Only after Grigori dies, she feels safe enough to find her son.

    OR

    Irina lives
