Summary
Yuna Hollander knows a lot of things about parenting a prodigy, the feeding and watering of a budding professional athlete, and ignoring your son's probable neurodivergence because it works for his sport training. She knows everything she wants and hopes for her son, she knows everything she fears for him, she strongly suspects some of the sacrifices he has yet to make on the altar of his hockey career. She also knows a lot of things about Ilya Rozanov, and this compels her to go meet her son's rival on the eve of their first clash on the ice. What she finds is a sad-eyed boy with a poet's name and a mother who lingers in the absences around him. Yuna Hollander is not emotional. She is not overprotective. She is not rash, and she does not take risks with her son's bright and shining future. But she sends Shane to make a friend because, well. She cannot stand the sadness in Ilya Rozanov's eyes.

Yuna's got her hands full with Shane, maybe a billionaire former hockey player can make do for Ilya. Secrets abound in Boston, and two unlikely partners scheme and dream of a future that will change hockey forever.

Summary
At the 2009 MHL draft, Yuna Hollander's son is the second overall pick. This is according to plan. What isn't to plan is the way her skin crawls when Grigory Rozanov touches his son, or the way Ilya Rozanov turns into a shadow of himself in the presence of his father. None of this is right. Armed with an unexpected gift and the creeping suspicion that Ilya's mother has been gone a long time, Yuna tries to mark draft day for her son, and the Russian kid she's halfway convinced herself to adopt. There isn't much she can give Ilya Rozanov, but she can give him this: a mother's pride on a big day, and the assurance that someone sees him.
