When sports psychologist Maya Chen agrees to coach the climber who beat her at nationals, she discovers some risks are worth taking.
Three years after a climbing accident ended her competitive career, Maya has built a successful practice helping other athletes overcome the fears she can’t conquer herself. The last thing she needs is Alex Rivera—the fierce competitor who crushed Maya’s championship dreams—asking for coaching help.
Alex Rivera climbs like her family’s financial security depends on it. Because it does.
Ranked third in the world, Alex has worked her way up from nothing through sheer determination and a training schedule that borders on self-destruction. When her coach quits three months before the World Championship qualifier, Alex needs someone who understands elite competition. She needs Maya Chen, even if Maya represents everything Alex thought she’d left behind.
At Vertical Limits climbing gym, trust isn’t just about technique—it’s about letting someone catch you when you fall.
Maya’s expertise could transform Alex’s aggressive climbing into championship form, but working together means confronting old rivalries and deeper attractions neither woman saw coming. As Alex learns to climb with precision instead of fury, Maya discovers that the scariest part of climbing isn’t the height—it’s trusting someone else with your heart.
When the pressure to qualify for Worlds threatens everything they’ve built, both women must choose: play it safe, or risk everything for a love worth falling for.
A standalone F/F sports romance featuring authentic rock climbing, emotional growth, and the kind of trust that takes you to new heights. First in the Granite Hearts series.
