Summary:

Some things, once spoken, cannot be undone. David Hollander is sure he taught his son that. But when Ilya Rozanov and David have been getting along better than well, and Shane unwittingly fractures their efforts, leaving Ilya heavy under a loneliness the boy cannot quite name, David doesn't understand where he went wrong.

Set between Book 2: Heated Rivalry and Book 6: Game Changers.
