Seems like Leo Scott has it all: looks, brains, and athletic talent. He’s captain of his high school swim team with a bright future in college and beyond. But Leo has secrets. His mother’s crippling car accident has devastated his family and left Leo to deal with his father’s abuse, battered and alone.

Leo’s girlfriend Audrey Rose is poised for her own share of success. As one of Florida’s top high school swimmers, Audrey dreams of college swimming stardom. But there’s an obstacle to her glorious rise to the top. Her number-one supporter--her father--is in prison for murder.

Part murder mystery, part tale of young love in a military family, this gripping story takes readers on a journey from Pensacola to Annapolis. Leo and Audrey must band together to rise above the adversity they encounter and find their true selves in the process. When everything’s on the line . . . streamline.

Excerpt

After the company commander led them in a swift jog to the PT

field, she addressed them. “Good morning.” She surveyed the group.

“Welcome to the Academy. As you may recall, I’m Midshipman

Second Company Commander Viva Nevington. We’ll meet in the

p-way every morning at zero-five-hundred hours.”

Leo wondered how he’d be on time considering the detailers had

forbidden watches and alarm clocks. He wondered if the likes of Axl

Rose would be his new alarm clock.

“Next we’ll have at least ninety minutes of physical training,”

Nevington resumed. “This will be the hardest time of your life, so

get ready for it.”

As he listened to tiny groans and gasps, Leo felt a smile threaten

to break through. Here we go. A thrilling energy coursed through him.

“Following our little workout this morning, we’ll dress in our

whiteworks for more training,” Company Commander Nevington

continued. “I’d like to introduce your platoon commanders and squad

leaders who will oversee your conditioning. To my left…”

Leo felt his skin tingle as it did on the starting blocks. He couldn’t

wait to get this party started. But this was an endurance test ahead.

Chill out, amigo. He was a sprinter, and making it through Plebe

Summer would be more like a marathon. 

I hope you enjoyed this short excerpt :) Leo sure does sound athletic! I personally can't wait to read the rest of the book! And, on to the giveaway; one winner will win an ecopy of Streamline thanks to the lovely people at Omnific Publishing :) Giveaway ends May 16th!
