Callie

Blood, sweat, hard work, and a disconcerting lack of tears—my entire life—was meant to culminate in a flourish of glory and significance.

I’d thought I’d always known exactly what that meant.

But I’d had the timing wrong by about three minutes.

I knew now.

This moment wasn’t everything. The one person I found myself wanting more than anything during it was.

Nik

One preconceived notion can haunt you for the entirety of your life.

I thought I owed it to myself and to everyone who’d ever backed me to do what was expected. What was right. What I was supposed to do.

But nothing is forbidden in love. Not circumstances or propriety or the denial of the object of said affection.

I knew now.

This was it.

If I wanted it, I had to take it.

This gymnastics love story is more than grips, rips, and battered hands.

For Calia Nickleson and Nikolai Bagrov, it was everything.

Note from the Author

Hey Everyone!

I want to start off by thanking you for participating in my cover reveal! I appreciate everything you do and this is no different.

I’m super excited about this book, having spent the majority of my young life in the all-encompassing world of competitive gymnasts. And it is all-encompassing.

You live and breath this sport, and for Callie (the heroine in this novel), an aging gymnast at twenty-six, it’s that way times a million.

Hopefully Nik is exactly what she needs to learn to live beyond that. 😉

As far as the cover goes, I’m in absolute, mind-blowing LOVE, and I hope you will be too. Each time you share, comment, gush, or swoon over my cover along with me, you make my life just a little bit better.

Can’t wait for you to read the book!

Thanks again. Anytime you need something from me, shoot me a message.

Laurel xx
