RACING HEARTS

An irresistible, fun, enemies-to-lovers sporty rom-com from debut author Ann Adams.

Katherine Parker doesn't just dream of rowing in the Olympics. She has a carefully crafted plan. With a strict training schedule, a meticulous diet, and absolutely no room for distractions, she's as good as gold. Then her boyfriend breaks up with her at the starting line of a big race and Kath comes in dead last. She's swiftly kicked off the team and out of the Olympic Training Center - the only place she's ever felt at home.

With one shot to win back her spot, Kath returns to her hometown to train alongside a gaggle of high school rowers. The upside? Coach Adrian is hot. The downside? Instead of letting Kath follow her own training regimen, Adrian pushes her outside her comfort zone, urging her to try new things and let go of what's not working for her.

With her Olympic dreams on the line, Kath will have to choose: stick to her perfect plan, or find out if the key to winning, and happiness, is to embrace the part of rowing that makes it fun, one sweaty, sexy training session at a time.

Ann Adams is a former US rowing national team member and Olympic Training Center resident who now lives in Sacramento, California. Today, you can find her analyzing public policy and going for moderate hikes with her husband and overly enthusiastic cockapoo. Mostly, though, she's writing stories - especially those about women falling in love and finding their strength.
