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.

Removing her nightie and deliberately dropping it to the floor, she answered with, “Ha-ha.”


“Hey.” The covers felt warm and cozy. “We can bring Tuxedo and Mama over here, if you want. I’m sure they’d get along with the cats.”


“They’re pretty settled over at my parents’, I think. I had him in Lake Placid for a while, but he missed the big yard, so…One forever home is probably best.” Billy was quiet a while after that.


“Definitely. Sometime soon.” Billy was somewhere else.


“Hey.” Erika brushed his arm. “Has Kensuke called you lately?”
