The Score That Wasn't Hers
At the biggest meet of her life, gymnast Maya Brooks sees a score that should make her a champion—until a rival whispers, “That routine was mine.”
Maya Brooks has spent eleven years chasing one clean routine—the kind that can turn a talented gymnast into the name everyone remembers.
At the National Crown Invitational, she finally delivers it. The arena erupts. Her score flashes high enough to put her in first place, and for one breathless moment Maya believes every sacrifice has been worth it.
Then rival gymnast Tessa Vale steps close and says six words that change the entire competition: “That routine was supposed to be mine.”
What begins as a dispute over choreography quickly exposes altered training files, a coach’s impossible choice, and a secret that could destroy two careers. To keep the medal she earned, Maya may have to prove the system that crowned her was never playing fair.
