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.

“Not like what?” Billy put his mouth to Erika’s ear. “They can’t hear us, can they?”


“No.” The warmth and moisture of his breath there caused warmth and moisture somewhere else. “I assume they would have said if they could. I sing pretty loud in here sometimes. Why?”


“‘Cause I was just going to ask if you think this bed is big enough for four.”
