Summary

"The fencing team at the exclusive Kings Row boarding school doesn't seem destined for glory, but Coach Williams is determined to whip the teens into shape. Nicholas, Seiji, Harvard, and Aiden couldn't be more different, but Coach knows they'd achieve greatness if they could just learn how to support one another and work as a team. So she assigns the boys a series of bonding exercises that have unintended consequences: the school flirt contemplates his tragic past, an Olympic-bound fencer falls into a criminal scheme, and two other teammates explore deep seated feelings as they "practice" dating. Will the chaos of each of the boys' blazing emotions tear the group apart, or will it give them just the edge the team needs to win?"--, Adapted from summary on book
