[ COMPLETED ] Sports Series #2: Breathe Before the Fall
Note: You can read this story as a standalone novel.
-----
Elaine Aurora "Elora" Salvador is a ballerina chasing perfection. Suffocated by her mother's expectations, she learned that even on surface, she feels like she's forever drowning---forever sinking, with no one to save her. Until she met the one who makes her feel like she can breathe again.
River Kyle Callahan is a champion swimmer desperate to escape his past. To him, Elora is completely off-limits. But getting closer to his bestfriend's sister makes the walls he built around himself slowly crumble, and he never expected to fall for the one person forbidden to him.
Drawn together by a pain they both understand, they begin a secret love that could heal them or shatter their fragile worlds. But as they find solace in each other's broken pieces, they must learn that healing is a slow and painful dance. To survive, they'll first have to learn how to breathe before the fall.
