Dead Point: A Sapphic Rivals-to-Lovers Climbing Romance (Highball Hearts, Book 1)

Two rivals. One Olympic spot. A fall worth taking.Reese Calloway wins the only way she knows how: by hurting more than anyone else on the wall. Since her father died, every route is a debt she's paying with her body - and the family climbing gym he left behind is one missed payment from gone. The single Olympic place for Los Angeles is her last chance to settle it.Indira Rao makes it look easy. The press calls her a natural; nobody sees the four-thirty alarms, the split fingertips, or the injury she's hiding to stay in the race. The last thing she needs is to be locked into a pre-Games training block - and a too-small apartment - with the one rival who climbs like she's furious at the world.So they strike a deal: push each other all the way to the top, then break each other's hearts at the Trials. Total honesty. No mind games. No mercy.They do not agree to fall in love.But the higher they climb, the harder it gets to let go of the wrong thing - and when the pressure peaks, one of them will reach for the cruelest hold of all.Dead Point is a slow-burn, rivals-to-lovers sapphic romance about ambition, grief, and finally learning to be caught.
