He’s my coach. One chance. That’s all I get when it comes to the Olympics. I’ve given up everything for my chance to train under Konstantin Kournakova. Kova is demanding. He only works with Elite gymnasts. I follow his every command fifty hours a week. He can’t break me. I thrive with the way he pushes me to my limits. Whatever it takes to compete – before it’s too late. He’s everything forbidden. Older. Taken. My father’s friend. I shouldn’t want him – wish he was mine. When I put my mind to it, there’s nothing I can’t do. I’m her coach. Fifty hours a week I tell her what to do. Gymnastics isn’t for the weak and Adrianna is as strong as they come. I’ll break her down so she can build herself up. I know that she wants me, with every secret glance. But I’ll lose everything if I give in. I’m too old for her. I have someone else I love. I’m her father’s friend. Adrianna Rossi is the sum of everything forbidden to me. She makes me wish I could burn it all down just for her.
