Three years ago, Elias Mercer was a rising star, a champion runner whose career ended in a devastating collapse. Now, at twenty-eight, he’s a ghost on the track, haunted by past glory and the whispers of a body that betrayed him. When a qualifying race pushes him to his limits once more, he finds himself face-down on the track, confronted not by defeat, but by Nora Bennett, a sharp-tongued medical professional who sees past the athlete to the man in pain. She challenges his every assumption, forcing him to confront the truth about his body and his future. With the national championships looming and his career hanging by a thread, Elias must decide if he can trust the woman who tells him to stop running, or if the weight of one more dream is worth risking everything.
