The Fall Line (The Heartwood Series #4)

Chapter 1

JETT

“Give us a glimpse into the mind of the infamous Jett Landry. How are you feeling about your win today?” The tall, blonde reporter asks me as I catch my breath from my run.

She holds her microphone out to me, but I still have to speak loudly to be heard over the roar of the crowd.

“Fucking incredible. I’d love to say that I’m lucky to be standing here, but it wasn’t luck,” I manage to get out in clipped sentences. “It was raw talent.”

“There’s that confidence your fans love so much. Tell me, what was going through your head on that final jump? The one that ruined your season the last time you did this run?”

“I’m not going to lie to you, after an injury like the one I sustained last season, you tend to get in your head a bit,” I answer with a shake of my head. It took everything in me today not to get distracted by the risk my knee still poses. “But ultimately, I’m not going to let that slow me down.”

“Sounds like you’re determined to finally make it to the Big Air World Cup in Switzerland happening in just a few short months. Do you think the recent allegations against you might get in your way this time?”
