Elianna Maeve was London's best Gymnast---until they moved her to America. After living in London all her life this was a big change.
She expected to make new friends, find new hobbies, and more. What she didn't expect was to find a new career. She's been doing flips since she was in the womb. This wasn't the worst part though.
The worst part was falling in love.
Grayson Hunter is (arguably) America's best pitcher. He's been playing since he could hold a bat. He's determined to keep his title by staying on track and not get distracted, that is until she comes, when the two accidentally bump into each other at a bar.
So much for distractions.
