Synopsis Book 1:
From the International Bestselling Author of the Tempest Series...
Set in the tough world of Elite Gymnastics...

I've gotten used to the dead parents face. I've gotten used to living with my gymnastics coach. I've even adjusted to sharing a bathroom with his way-too-hot son. Dealing with boys is not something that's made it onto my list of experiences as of yet. But here I am, doing it. And something about Jordan--being around him, talking to him, thinking about him--makes me feel like I can finally breathe again. That's something I haven't been able to do lately. He knows what it feels like to be me right now. He knows what it's like to wonder--what now? I think about it constantly. I need answers. I need to know how to get through this. In the gym, if you're struggling, you train harder, you do drills and conditioning. How do I work hard at moving on? At being on my own? And what happens if I might be...maybe...probably falling for Jordan? I mean we live together now. That can't happen, can it? But kissing him...well, let's just say it's not an easy activity to forget.


Synopsis Book 2:

If only summer could last forever…

Karen and Jordan might be out in the open with their relationship, but that doesn't make it any easier for them to face events looming in the future. Like Jordan leaving for college halfway across the country. Or Karen's win at a big international gymnastics competition setting the bar high for her future and adding pressure like she's never experienced before. 

But when Nina Jones (aka-US Gymnastics Dictator), makes plans for Karen and teammate Stevie to train at a gymnastics camp for a month—the same camp where Jordan coaches—romantic summer interludes replace their fears of being apart. Both Jordan and Karen know that when fall comes, some very tough decisions will have to be made, but for now, it’s stolen kisses, racing hearts, and whispered words.


Synopsis Book 3
Releasing December 15th 2013

How many dreams can you chase at once?

Even with bad boy, TJ, disrupting their morning workouts, Karen and Stevie’s daily battles with each other are sure to bring both of them closer to a national title at next month’s championships. It’s the kind of feud that creates winning results. 

Until a fall from the uneven bars shakes Karen’s rock-solid confidence. Not only does she balk every time she so much as attempts a routine, she’s also facing all this without much support from Jordan. After receiving some bad news, Jordan’s reluctance to listen to reason causes Karen so much frustration she begins to avoid him, needing space to deal with her own issues. He needs someone to force him to make the right choice, he needs his dad to intervene and Karen knows this, but is torn between her loyalty to Jordan and her concern for her coach’s son. Even though both paths lead to the same person—Jordan—it feels like she’s choosing between two different people.

And then there’s the growing tension between TJ and Stevie. They’re obviously on the verge of either ripping each other’s heads off or ripping each other’s clothes off. It’s hard for either Jordan or Karen to tell where those two are headed. Tension is building from every possible outlet and there’s bound to be an explosion of some kind in the very near future.

Excerpt :

I don’t think Jordan even noticed me or Coach Bentley sitting at the table. He went right 
for the fridge, chugging milk straight from the carton. I eyed my nearly empty glass. Gross.

Coach Bentley looked over the morning paper at his son. “Damn it, Jordan! Put on a 
shirt.”

And pants?

Jordan glared at his dad but snatched a black hoodie from a hook by the back door and 

threw it on. Coach Bentley glared right back and turned to me. “Be ready in ten minutes?”

I nodded, indicating I was ready to leave anytime, then I returned to watching YouTube 
videos on my phone. There was a release move on the uneven bars that I wanted to learn, even 
though Coach Bentley probably wouldn’t let me try it. He was too obsessed with perfection to let 
me take a big risk. And honestly, I’d never been a risk-taker until recently. It was like an itch I 
couldn’t scratch.

Jordan nudged the gooey eggs around in the skillet, made a face, and reached in a high-
up cabinet, removing a box of sugar-filled cereal. He plunged his hand right into the box and 
stuffed his mouth full of fruity pebbles.

What would I have to do to disinfect this food? Spray it all with Lysol? At least I wouldn’t be eating that cereal, but who knew what he’d get his hands in (literally) when I wasn’t around to watch?

I distracted myself from pointless germ thoughts and went back watching videos again.

“No way,” Jordan said with his mouth full.

I jumped and glanced over my shoulder at him, now standing right behind me. “What?”

“You can’t do that.” He pointed to the video on my phone.

“I know that.” I stuffed the phone in my gym bag and got up from the chair. “I like to 
watch videos of crazy moves when I’m bored.”

Jordan plopped right into my abandoned spot, his disheveled hair looking slightly more 
attractive than you’d think it would. He had dimples that popped up when his mouth wasn’t too 
full, too. “A crazy move that my dad used to do.”

Now it was my turn to lift an eyebrow. “Yeah, I heard that, too, but I couldn’t find a 
video of him performing it.”

Jordan tossed his feet up on the empty chair. “Because he tore his bicep doing that 
release right before the World Championships and never competed it.”

“That explains a lot.” Maybe this wasn’t the worst place to be living while training. It 
was kind of like a home court advantage. 

“Ready, Karen?” Coach Bentley called from the foyer.

“I’ll be in the shower in a few minutes,” Jordan whispered loudly. “Just in case you need 
to know. Don’t want you to accidently walk in on me. We should probably post a schedule or put 
an alarm on the bathroom door.”

I closed my eyes and turned around, feeling completely mortified. 

“Karen?”

“Uh-huh,” I said, not looking back at him.

“Thanks for not saying anything. About yesterday…”

Which part? Forgetting to give me a ride or the girl you were feeling up on the couch last 
night? I let out a breath. “No problem.”
