Under the Coach's Whistle

My twin sister’s murder tore my life apart after I blamed the best friend who had always been more of a brother to me.

I once swam for a prestigious West Coast college, but that version of me is gone; I am abandoned, locked in a cell, and completely alone.

Desperation sends me to the man I betrayed, and he flies across the country to bail me out with his new swim coach in tow.

Coach Resch is all whistles and rigid rules, the kind of tyrant I want to provoke, yet he is my coach now whether I like it or not.

My choice is Westbrook—and a team that already hates me—or staying behind bars.

He is sure he can handle me. He has never dealt with someone this wild.
