Название книги: These Battered Hands

CallieBlood, sweat, hard work, and a disconcerting lack of tears—my entire life—was meant to culminate in a flourish of glory and significance.I’d thought I’d always known exactly what that meant.But I’d had the timing wrong by about three minutes.I knew now.This moment wasn’t everything. The one person I found myself wanting more than anything during it was.NikOne preconceived notion can haunt you for the entirety of your life.I thought I owed it to myself and to everyone who’d ever backed me to do what was expected. What was right. What I was supposed to do.But nothing is forbidden in love. Not circumstances or propriety or the denial of the object of said affection.I knew now.This was it.If I wanted it, I had to take it.This gymnastics love story is more than grips, rips, and battered hands.For Calia Nickleson and Nikolai Bagrov, it was everything.
