From the USA TODAY Bestselling author of Scoring Wilder, comes a sexy new standalone novel. I despise Erik Winter. He’s arrogant and cruel—a man I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy—and by some twisted turn of fate, he’s my new Olympic gymnastics coach. I’ve had to contend with gruff coaches in the past, but Erik is far worse. His stern demeanor complements a body built for intimidation, and his reprimands come from a mouth so cunning, I know it could strip me of my defenses—if I let it. Though each of us would love to be rid of the other forever, we are bound to each other by need and necessity. I’m his rising star, his best shot at proving himself to his critics. And without a coach, I have zero chance of winning gold in Rio. The easiest way forward would be to wave a white flag and make peace with the man I’ll be sharing close quarters with for the foreseeable future, but he is intent on war. Fine. By. Me. If he pushes me, I’ll push back harder. If he wants to test me, to play with my head, I’ll show him just how many boundaries I’m willing to cross. Because I know it’s not a choice between winning or warring—not if you can have them both. At the end of it all, I plan on leaving Rio with gold around my neck and his icy heart in the palm of my hand. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.**

It was about a month after my marriage—and third clerk to the most noble the Bishop of Beauvais, and even admitted on occasions to write in his presence and prepare his minutes, who should marry if I might not?—it was about a month after my marriage, I say, that the thunderbolt, to which I have referred, fell and shattered my fortunes. I rose one morning—they were firing guns for the victory of Rocroy, I remember, so that it must have been eight weeks or more after the death of the late king, and the glorious rising of the Sun of France—and who as happy as I?

Mr. Lynch gives us much to think about with his fresh theories on topics that have puzzled us for centuries. He suggests a new direction for researchers that could propel us into a new age of technology, and explains why governments keep secret what they know about UFOs.Mr. Lynch brings to the fore some new theories on a variety of topics that have puzzled us for many years, while we stubbornly cling to some beliefs (as we did with the Flat Earth belief, even to the extent of persecuting and imprisoning those who questioned it). And for some strange reason, we continue to claim that Columbus "discovered" America. He encourages research in a new direction (crop circles) and endeavors to explain why so many incompatible heads-of-state seem to unanimously agree on one single topic. He explains what could be seen as "the Ultimate Weapon". He points to Mankind being so arrogant, that not only do we see ourselves as the "center of the universe", but we even attempt to take credit for affecting global weather, while ignoring history.
