Summary
Charlie Spring, promising rower and outstanding cox, was never meant to study at Cambridge. He wasn’t meant to fall for his rival, either.
Charlie was meant for Oxford, where he began his first year. But nothing went as planned. After a brutal assault, he transfers to Cambridge for his second year, hoping to escape Oxford and the wreckage. There, he finds a new team, a new purpose, and Nick Nelson, star rower with golden-boy charm and far too much to hide.
What begins as animosity turns into something charged and inescapable. But secrets don’t stay buried forever. When the truth surfaces, Charlie and Nick must decide what’s worth risking for a future that might finally be theirs.
Over the course of three academic years, through racing seasons and emotional healing Charlie and Nick’s lives continue to intersect. Their story becomes one of rivalry, resilience, friendship and love.
