    Summary

    James Fairfax coached Kitty Higham, the most successful British swimmer ever, to 7 Olympic medals. Her retirement after Paris 2024 leaves him with no goals, an empty calendar, and aching knees.

    Anthony Havers had a bright future ahead of him in the British Army until an explosion in Afghanistan changed everything. After years of surgeries and retraining as a counsellor, he’s built a life helping others. But he can’t ignore the pull of the water, or the sense that time is running out to chase a childhood dream.

    When Anthony seeks out James as a coach, both men find more than they expected. For James, despite having never worked with a para-athlete, it's an opportunity he's powerless to resist. For Anthony, it could be a chance to fulfil more than one dream.

    Together they’ll discover that medals aren’t the only thing at stake. Sometimes the biggest challenge is daring to believe in a future—one they could share.

    Summary

    In 1929, James’s first trip abroad goes pleasantly awry at a Viennese production of The Nutcracker. By some miracle he manages to get talking to one of the dancers after the performance, and things soon escalate into a night he is sure he will never forget.

    Eleven years later, his memories are thrown into turmoil when a familiar face appears somewhere it absolutely should not be.

    Summary

    Pat and the Captain have been in a relationship for years. They failed to mention this when Alison first moved into Button House. So did all the others.
    Because it was obvious. There was no need to talk about it.
    Alison, however, managed to miss any and all clues for years.

    Basically, everything we see on the show stays the same. And then we get the little scenes in between that undeniably show that those two idiots are madly in love with each other.
