    Summary

    Ilya thought he could do this alone: defect from Russia, raise his brother's child, play professional hockey, survive the hits that come every game from players paid to destroy his career. He chose the most secure building in the city and tried to be invisible.

    He didn't count on Shane Hollander living next door. Or on his captain figuring out that the brutal checks aren't just hockey—they're targeted. Or on what it would feel like when someone finally insisted on keeping him safe.
