Overview

Rowan Calder knows how to take a hit.

What she doesn’t know how to do is stop.

When a shoulder injury pulls her out of the cage, Rowan is forced into recovery at the exact moment her career demands momentum. Promoters push. The noise grows louder. And the line between discipline and self-destruction starts to blur.

Naomi Reed has spent years protecting athletes from the machine that treats them as disposable. She’s careful, controlled, and determined not to repeat the mistakes that have already cost her once.

Their connection is immediate and dangerous, not because of passion alone, but because it asks something neither woman is used to giving: patience.

As Rowan fights her way back, she’s tested by pressure, temptation, and the old urge to prove she’s unbreakable. Naomi watches closely, torn between stepping in and trusting Rowan to choose differently.

Between Impact is a slow-burn, emotionally grounded contemporary lesbian romance about control, recovery, and the kind of love that doesn’t demand sacrifice to survive.
