Veronica Cruz has been through hell and back. After disconnecting with the world two years ago to be at the side of her dying mother, she’s left alone, unemployed, overweight, and feeling a decade older than her twenty-eight years. When her best friend coaxes her into joining the local gym, she meets Noah. Noah is everything she expected a young trainer to be—perfectly chiseled, supportive and motivating. There's just one glaring problem: Noah is eight years younger.

Noah Quintanilla has his eye on a boxing title—someday. 

Down for a few months with an injury, he is finally given the opportunity to train. Noah stumbles into one of the closest friendships he’s ever known, and before he knows it, he’s in love. But Veronica’s not having it—the age difference is too much. Their platonic relationship means having to watch her date other men—something that would make him crazy.

Noah is created by Elizabeth Reyes, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author. 

Noah

Saturday's workout was a short one again. Roni wanted to leave early to shower and get ready for the dinner. Most of the other guys were just rinsing off at the gym and going straight there. In the past, Noah would've done the same. He wasn't kidding when he said it was completely informal, but tonight felt different.


Ever since he'd held Roni so close a few nights earlier, he still hadn't gotten over the electric current that had pierced through his body. He'd never felt anything like it, but most memorable and what he hadn't stopped thinking about was she'd felt something too. It was undeniable. Though she fought it, Noah had seen it in her eyes—felt it in her trembling body. It gave him hope—hope that if she was feeling for him what he wouldn't even try denying he felt for her anymore, then maybe somehow he could convince her things could work between them.
