Summary

...
“You love it here. Maybe it's us which won't work.” James spat the last sentence like a wounded animal lashing out.
---

Summary
Eyes slammed closed, Havers wrestled with some imaginary being in his sleep. It was a demon which – despite the best of his efforts, despite the amount of attempts he had at it – he couldn't defeat. None of the thousands of men facing the very same one in the wake of war could secure victory over it.

Summary
James Fairfax coached Kitty Higham, the most successful British swimmer ever, to 7 Olympic medals. Her retirement after Paris 2024 leaves him with no goals, an empty calendar, and aching knees.
Anthony Havers had a bright future ahead of him in the British Army until an explosion in Afghanistan changed everything. After years of surgeries and retraining as a counsellor, he’s built a life helping others. But he can’t ignore the pull of the water, or the sense that time is running out to chase a childhood dream.
When Anthony seeks out James as a coach, both men find more than they expected. For James, despite having never worked with a para-athlete, it's an opportunity he's powerless to resist. For Anthony, it could be a chance to fulfil more than one dream.
Together they’ll discover that medals aren’t the only thing at stake. Sometimes the biggest challenge is daring to believe in a future—one they could share.
