A high stakes YA sports romance following an elite gymnast caught between her head, her heart and the competition of a lifetime. Perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Jenny Han.

A year ago, Audrey Lee was recovering from spine surgery, but now she's on the US gymnastics team. Just as she is off to the most important competition of her life, horrifying news rips through the team, threatening to tear them apart. Audrey is intent on advocating for her teammate who has been hurt by the person they trusted mostβ€”but not all the gymnasts are on her side.

The one bright spot is the sweet and charming Leo Adams, who also happens to be the one person she can't get close to until after the games. But the magnetic pull between them is impossible to ignore, especially when team dynamics and high expectations throw her deeper into his orbit. With incredible stakes at every turn, will Audrey's determination send her tumbling towards her podium dreams or into Leo's arms?
