    Summary

    "Why are you not scared?"

    "I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."

    "Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.

    "Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.

    Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

    Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.

    Summary

    Yeah, maybe Yuna should have just responded to the frantic texts. But Shane never gave them any details about the people he was dating. This Lily seemed genuinely worried, and if a phone call would get her a better read on the girl, that would be a coincidence at best. Shane knew she preferred talking on the phone, and if she used her own phone, she’d avoid invading any more of his privacy.

    She figured his current condition would be a higher priority to address than his mother calling the girl he was seeing. He’d be satisfied that his Lily would know how he was doing, and Yuna would be satisfied to connect with this girl who seemed to enchant his serious and stoic son. The phone rang twice before Yuna was sent to voicemail.

    "Hi. This is Ilya. I will never listen to your voicemail."

    Yuna may have miscalculated.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is ready to turn his back on Russia for good and embrace his new life in Canada with his lover, Shane Hollander. Yet Russia is not so quick to let him go, and the violent, beautiful place he once dreaded as home beckons his return with a final tragedy in a pair of orphaned children who call him 'uncle'.

    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.
