Open Water

Dismissed as washed up due to injury, Cass Flynn has just found out she‘s been elevated from alternate to competitor for the Double Scull US Rowing Team on its way to China. With only a few weeks until the event debuts with the whole world watching, she is itching to prove she can still row at world-class speeds. It‘s her last chance-at 32 she can‘t afford to wait another four years. Aloof 28-year-old Stroke-of-the-Eights rower Laura Kelley doubts her last minute teammate‘s suitability as much as anyone, but has little time to dwell on it. Her own inconsistency since the suicide of her ex‘s younger sister has not gone unnoticed, and her ex‘s appearance at training camp literally rocks the boat. Driven by their own hearts to compete at speeds thought impossible only years earlier, Cass and Laura plunge into training with one goal in mind: gold. Fate has other plans, and medals aren‘t the only things at risk. Pol Robinson‘s debut romance novel dives into the ultimate competition with a riveting story of world-class athletes and the passions that drive them.
