The perfect feel-good read Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author

True love never did run smooth . . .

Britta is excited for the chance to finally prove herself at work when she's asked to write about a hot new body-positive fitness app that includes personal training.

When her training sessions with Wes begin, the pair click immediately. He may be the app's CEO, but despite his professional success, his personal life is in disarray and he's enjoying his return to what he really loves - coaching.

As the weeks pass, Britta can't believe how much she's enjoying trying new things and finding her strength . . . and perhaps her perfect match?

The longer she spends with Wes, the harder it is to deny their chemistry and maintain a professional distance. Walking away from each other may be the smart choice, but for Wes and Britta, falling never felt so good . . .

About the Author

Denise Williams wrote her first book in the 2nd grade. I Hate You and its sequel, I Still Hate You, featured a tough, funny heroine, a quirky hero, witty banter, and a dragon. Minus the dragons, these are still the books she likes to write. After penning those early works, she finished second grade and eventually earned a PhD in education, going on to work in higher education. After growing up a military brat around the world and across the country, Denise now lives in Des Moines, Iowa with her husband, son, and two ornery shih-tzus who think they own the house.
