Beach volleyball player Caio Paraguassu is gearing up for the biggest event of his life at the Olympic Games in Paris. He's taken part in the Games before, but this time he has his eye on the highest prize.

A gold medal would go a long way toward healing the wounds left by Caio's former lover and volleyball partner.

Diego Torres left the sport he loved because of prejudice. Now he's Caio's friend, his partner in the sand, and a rising star in his own right. Together they can take on the world, or at least the world of beach volleyball.

But the exhilaration of the Olympics brings out unexpected romantic feelings. Can Caio and Diego keep their focus and find the strength to fight for the podium and their love-even if it means facing an unexpected challenger on the court?
