Beach volleyball player Caio Paraguassú is gearing up for the biggest event of his life at the Olympic Games in Paris. He's taken part in the Games before, but this time he has his eye on the highest prize.
A gold medal would go a long way toward healing the wounds left by Caio's former lover and volleyball partner.
Diego Torres left the sport he loved because of prejudice. Now he's Caio's friend, his partner in the sand, and a rising star in his own right. Together they can take on the world, or at least the world of beach volleyball.
But the exhilaration of the Olympics brings out unexpected romantic feelings. Can Caio and Diego keep their focus and find the strength to fight for the podium and their love-even if it means facing an unexpected challenger on the court?
About the author
Gus Ralthocco is a twentysomething writer from South America who loves romance. He grew up in the countryside, and his heart belongs to the rural pastures of the Pampas, which is why most of his stories have a home there. His first passion might not have been writing, but he made the transition from long hours editing music sheets for orchestra to studying words, as most of his stories were better told with those and not melody. An eclectic soul by nature, his talents range from using the splits as a party trick to teaching kids how to speak English. Most of his adulting time is spent in class now, which is why his heroes are more like the everyday people he sees in life. You may find him on Twitter at @GusRalthocco, where he talks sports, pets, and sometimes books.
