Grigori Kovalenko opens his eyes believing he is still twenty-four: newly crowned with Fairbrook, fiercely independent, and certain Dane Blackwood is nothing more than the rival he cannot resist. The hospital tells a different story. A decade has vanished from his memory. He now captains the Oakmere Stallions, shares a home with Dane, and has somehow built the settled life his younger self never imagined wanting. As teammates, family, and their dog Zoya help him navigate the missing years, Grigori searches for proof of the man he became. Dane refuses to pressure him, even while mourning the husband who has forgotten their marriage. Yet old attraction quickly deepens into something warmer, and flashes of Tavarian citizenship lessons, private jokes, and hard-won tenderness begin to surface. Before the lost decade finally returns, Grigori must decide whether love depends on memory, or whether the heart can recognize its home twice.
