    Summary

    Ten-year-old Faina Rozanova has survived more than most children her age. She learned young how to dress herself, cook basic meals, and raise her baby brother, Grisha Rozanov. But when tragedy strikes, Faina's fragile world collapses. Suddenly orphaned, she and Grisha find themselves caught in the impersonal machinery of Russia's child protection system as they face an uncertain future in an unknown country with an Uncle who is a stranger.

    Still hiding their love from the world, Ilya and Shane must find the courage to reach across continents- and beyond their own fears- to rescue Ilya's niece and nephew and provide the pair with the understanding, love, and stability they need so desperately in a world that has otherwise demanded too much from them too soon.

    Summary

    “Ilya?”

    “I-I need to go back. To Russia.”

    “What?!” Shane reared back, taking away the comforting warmth of his hands on Ilya’s cheeks.

    “No, lyubimiy. Not for always. Just for… I don’t know. Maybe couple weeks?”

    “Why, what’s going on?”

    “Alexei… he’s….”

    “Alexei? I thought you said you weren’t helping him anymore. What did he do this time?”

    “He… he died.”

    Summary

    The only thing that ever made Ilya hesitate about leaving Russia was his niece.

    After his mother’s death, before the championships, before Shane, Tati had been everything.

    Time softened the ache. He built a life across the ocean. He married the man he loved. He let himself be happy. They had everything they had ever worked for, a team that supported them, a marriage built on love, and the beginnings of starting a family of their own.

    Then Alexei died.

    And Russia’s golden child was placed in their care.

    Overnight, their lives changed. Nothing would ever be the same again.

    Summary

    After a fire kills his father, brother, and sister in law, there is nobody left to take in Katya, Ilya's niece. And it's not like he knows what he's doing, but anything is better than the horrors he knows she would face in an orphanage. At the same time, he needs this to not be the next big headline - "Ilya Rosanov, Playboy Turned Single Parent" is about the last thing he needs in his life right now. So Katya, his perfect, traumatized, niece who he intends to raise as his own, needs to stay a secret. (Its not like he doesn't have enough of those already)
