WARNING: this takes place after the second book about Ilya and Shane by Rachel Reid. If you haven't read the books 'heated rivalry' and 'the long game' you might not understand this storyline. Two years after their wedding, Shane and Ilya both decided that it's time for them to start their own family. They knew it was gonna be a long process, but they knew they'd face it together. And then... there were Maeve and Elli. While Elli was a happy Child, singing all the frozen songs while walking to kindergarten, Maeve was her sisters opposite. And she was NOT a child anymore. She wouldn't bother to stay at the hollanovs for long. She knew, it'd only be a matter of time for them to pick Elli but not Maeve.

Two hockey rivals. One tiny girl. Zero chill. When MHL enemies-to-lovers legends Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov become dads to Lillian Jane Rozanov-Hollander, they assume one thing: She's going to dominate hockey. Obviously. Before she can hold her own head up, she has custom skates. Before she can talk, they're arguing whether she'll represent Canada or Russia. (USA was eliminated immediately.) Every milestone becomes a competition. Every smile is contested. Every nap is tactical. But Lili has other plans. Instead of slapshots and body checks, she falls in love with edges, music, and ice dance. Now Shane is memorizing figure skating scoring breakdowns at 3AM. Ilya is screaming in the stands about artistry and insisting she "cannot be boring like Dada." And both of them are learning that raising a daughter might be harder than winning a championship. This is a story about: • competitive dads who love too hard • tiny skates and big drama • locker room chaos • rink-side arguments • international identity crises • and one girl who was never going to be ordinary Because she didn't grow up in a rivalry. She was born in one. And she's about to rewrite it.

Sixteen-year-old Anya Rozanov-Hollander was practically raised on the ice. With two former pro hockey players for dads, the rink has always been her second home-but instead of hockey, Anya chose figure skating. Now she's one of the most talked-about athletes in the world. A three-time Olympic gold medalist with countless junior titles, Anya dominates the sport with talent, confidence, and a style that refuses to blend in. Openly lesbian, unapologetically alt, and known for the blonde rings she dyes into her dark hair every season, she's become the it-girl of modern figure skating. After leaving the Russian federation and starting over with Team Canada, Anya is proving that talent, authenticity, and a little rebellion can change the sport forever. With the world watching and her dads-Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov-always in her corner, Anya's story is about more than medals. It's about becoming exactly who you are.
