In a world where dreams collide with reality, Clara Bennett has spent years hiding her passion for gymnastics, lying to her brother Noah about quitting to pursue a "normal" life. But when she earns a coveted spot on the Australian Olympic Gymnastics Team, she can no longer keep her secret. Compounding her anxiety is the return of Liam Hayes, her childhood friend turned rival, who has also made the Olympic team despite their complicated history. Once bonded by friendship, a devastating rumor tore them apart, leaving Clara with a bitter taste of betrayal and unresolved feelings.

As Clara grapples with her dreams and the ghosts of her past, she must navigate the emotional fallout of reconnecting with Liam and confronting the truth that lies between them. With the Olympics on the horizon and tensions rising, Clara faces a choice: will she embrace the power of her passion and reclaim her voice, or will the weight of old wounds hold her back?

Dive into a story of ambition, friendship, and the fight for redemption, where every leap of faith could lead to triumph or heartbreak. Will Clara find the strength to overcome her fears and finally pursue her dreams, or will the shadows of the past keep her from soaring?

Veronica Cruz has been through hell and back. After disconnecting with the world two years ago to be at the side of her dying mother, she's left alone, unemployed, overweight, and feeling a decade older than her twenty-eight years. When her best friend coaxes her into joining the local gym to ditch her depression and rejuvenate her life, she meets Noah. Assigned to help Veronica lose weight, Noah is everything she expected a young trainer to be-perfectly chiseled, supportive and motivating. Add to that, he's incredibly sexy. He's everything she's ever looked for in a man. What she least expected was for him to fall for her, but he has. There's just one glaring problem: Noah is eight years younger. Noah Quintanilla has his eye on a boxing title-someday. Down for a few months with an injury, his maintenance-boy pay at 5th Street Gym won't cut it. He's finally given the opportunity to train. The catch? His trainee is an out-of-shape woman with a free week pass. Taking on the challenge, Noah stumbles into one of the closest friendships he's ever known, and before he knows it, he's in love. But Veronica's not having it-the age difference is too much. Their platonic relationship means having to watch her date other men-something that would make him crazy. Believing he's the man for her, Noah sets out to prove that age is but an illusion, and there's more to him than just a number.
