Being part of an Olympic skating pair should be excitement enough for one life, but for Erika that's only the beginning. Her skating partner, Tom Alan, is her ex-husband, who fell in love with former British ice dancer Milo, and all three of them live together and raise her daughter, whose father is Erika's ex-boyfriend, Bill, a rabid hockey fan who is old friends with Milo. Whew! As if that's not enough, Erika still loves Bill, loves Tom Alan, and might just love Milo, too. Add a couple of troubled teenagers to the pile, and suddenly training for the Olympics is the easy part. But Erika's never been a fan of the conventional, and one way or another the four of them will find a way to make their strange tangle of love, sex, and family work.

Transitions

“It’s their last sure thing for a while…unless Tom Alan goes down there.”


“It won’t be easy, with us competing the next two weekends.”


“I tell you right now, if I was mad at you…if you were pissed at me…I’d still at least try something.” Billy rolled flat on his back and sighed, as if he wouldn’t be getting any for two weeks either.


“We can,” Erika said. She reached for his soft dick and started kissing his neck.


“We don’t have to. This is nice. And I’m a little bit worried.”


“It’s no fun when mommy and daddy fight.” Erika tried to make light, but she agreed. “The kids start school tomorrow.”


“You know, Kensuke’s not such a mouthy asshole all the time, Rika. I swear, he’s not. It’s like there’s a switch. I’ve never seen him like he was this afternoon.”


“I hope it wasn’t me…the confusing way we treated him last night…buddy versus child.”
