There were two things I knew for sure back then:
First: Bryce Clark’s sole focus was getting an Olympic gold medal, not a girlfriend.
Second: That didn’t stop me from falling hard.
For six years, we would hook up whenever we were in the same city. My whole life revolved around swimming and him, until it was all gone. His dream came true, while I closed mine down and walked away.
I was done with swimming and Bryce Clark.
But the universe had other plans for me. Two years later, he’s back and I can’t escape him. He’s everywhere, and he’s asking for a second chance. A chance I’m not sure I’m ready to give.
He’s working across the hall, forcing me to reconcile the man before me with the one I knew; making me realize no dream pans out exactly how we want it to. Giving him that chance would mean talking about the past. Which I’m definitely not ready for.
I’m not interested in going back. I’m tired of maybe, of not knowing where I stand in his life…
But I’m also tired of wondering what we could have been if we had the chance.
Carter Abrams is staring down the end of his career.
At almost thirty-years-old, he's about to retire from the career he's dedicated his whole life to. Every professional swimmer knows it won't last forever, but with the end quickly approaching, Carter begins panicking about the future. Which is how he ends up buying a run-down pool in South Carolina.
After convincing his best friend, Bryce Clark, to move halfway across the country to help him run it, a plan starts forming. As it comes together, Carter starts to relax a little; but he's still completely out of his element. He has no idea how to do renovations on something this large, especially when he's stuck in Georgia training for his final Olympics.
Enter Katrina Dalton.
Katrina is tired of being a supportive character in everyone else's story. She's not being taken seriously in her job as a contractor for a major firm in Charleston. Nor is she being taken seriously by her family or her boyfriend. She may as well be invisible.
When the chance to oversee a remodel of a sports complex for two Olympic athletes comes up, she's the only one to jump at the job no one wants. It’s her chance to make everyone in her life finally see her and what she’s capable of.
Little does she know, she's about to be thrust into a world she doesn't understand but could hold everything she's missing.
About
Ashlyn Harmon
Ashlyn Harmon writes books with a little bit of sass, a whole lot of swoon-worthy moments, and characters who are real, and relatable. She loves writing the kinds of female leads she wishes she had more access to—unapologetically confident in their bodies and who they are. No character of hers will ever go through a major physical makeover for love. Her books are authentic in the way they depict people and their imperfections.
She was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, and is still daydreaming of getting out one day. When she's not writing her next book, she's working on growing her editing business. She thrives on helping her fellow indie authors tell their stories. On the days she's not working, you can usually find her watching ghost hunting shows, daydreaming about her next vacation, hanging out with her corgi, Berkeley, or with her nose buried in a book.
She is currently working on the companion novel to Maybe One Day, which follows Carter as we follow him through his final Olympics. To stay up to date on all that's happening, visit her website or follow along on social media.
