A college gymnast who thought her Olympic dream was over.
A Finnish Olympic gold medalist who sees her potential.
And a friendship contract that changes everything.

Stick It meets Kulti in this closed-door gymnastics romance packed with slow-burn tension, high stakes, and Olympic dreams.

Scarlet Hale thought her Olympic dream was over. After choosing college gymnastics, she’d accepted that the elite path was behind her. But when Finnish Olympic gold medalist Eero Rove sees her potential, he offers her one last chance to chase the impossible.

Leaving behind the life she’s built, Scarlet returns to the brutal world of elite gymnastics. With the Olympics finally within reach, every practice pushes her body to its limits as she battles a chronic illness determined to stand in her way.

The only thing more dangerous than chasing the Olympics?
Falling for the man helping her get there.
Determined not to let feelings derail her comeback, Scarlet and Rove make a friendship contract—a promise to stay just friends while he trains her.

Content Consideration: Chronic illness (endometriosis/PCOS), chronic pain, sports injuries, intense athletic training, discussions of infertility, and a brief mention of a parent’s addiction.
