    Summary

    “How do you write to your friend?” Becca asks. “Do you text him?”

    “No, we email.”

    “Cool,” Becca says, smiling. “Can I read one?”

    “No!” Mel says a little too quickly, and Becca looks up in surprise.

    “Why?”

    “Because it’s private,” Mel insists. “I don’t look at your messages to Adam.”

    “But Adam’s my boyfriend,” Becca says. And then she gasps excitedly. “Is he your boyfriend?”

     

    Mel starts a low-stakes and casual friendship over email. Of course, things get complicated.

    Summary

    “—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”

    Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.

    “Frank, why would we move in together?”

    “I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”

    “Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”

    At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”

    What.

     

    Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
    Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is one of the best search and rescue specialists in North America. He doesn't do private clients. He doesn't do rich adrenaline junkies with camera crews and a death wish. He does, apparently, do forty thousand dollars when his parents need it badly enough. One week on Karanov's summit should be simple. Assess the snowpack, make the call, go home. Then the storm rolls in, the helicopter can't fly, and Shane is stuck in an eleven by nine foot ranger station with Ilya Rozanov — Olympic gold medalist, professional daredevil, and the most infuriating man Shane has ever met.

    Summary

    "The joke had been: Rozanov was so drunk he flirted with me at a party while I was wearing a wig. That story was over. The story now was: me and Rozanov made out at a party and he thought I was a girl."

    Or: at a halloween party, Ilya Rozanov mistakes his rookie rival for a pretty girl named Jane.
