Meet The Author

Haunted by a career-ending injury and her own fractured past, a former top athlete seeks a quiet new start as the school psychologist. But when she crosses paths with Raiden, a fiercely independent yet wounded teen battling through his own family trauma, she’s drawn back to the track and into a mentorship she never asked for. Their relationship, forged in the crucible of competitive sport and emotional turmoil, transforms both coach and athlete. Through grueling early-morning sessions, tense competitions, and moments of vulnerability, each learns to face not only physical challenges but the psychological wounds holding them back. Together they navigate the messy lines between winning and self-worth, trust and betrayal, setbacks and resilience—against the backdrop of high-pressure athletics and complicated relationships. As season championships approach and shadows from the past threaten to derail them, they must decide what truly defines victory. Gritty, authentic, and full of heart, this contemporary story explores what it means to believe in someone—and yourself—even when broken.
