Description

Love is an endurance sport...

When Australian star cyclist Lori 'Top-Gun' Gallagher collides with Belgian teammate Seb Franck, she realises it may not be their first meeting.

"The amount of tension and chemistry between Lori and Seb was nearly burning right off the pages...this book has everything sports romance lovers want!" - Ally Wiegand, author of First Base

Love is an endurance sport…

Recovering from a bad crash and a broken heart, Australian road cycling star Lori Gallagher gets back into training with the help of a coaching app and an anonymous training partner she knows only by his avatar and his voice. But with her career dependent on regaining her fighting spirit, she ditches her online friend to focus on the road. Then she hears his voice - on her team training camp.

Sébastien Franck is stunned to discover his goofy training partner is "Top Gun" Gallagher, the most ruthless rider in the women's peloton. She's already ghosted him online and, with his career on its last legs, he's sure she won't want anything to do with him. But Seb and Lori's online chemistry transfers seamlessly into real life and they sleep together - a no-strings opportunity to get it out of their systems before the start of the season.

Yet Lori's year begins with disaster, while Seb finds the best form of his career. As the Tour de France approaches, Seb expects himself to crack and let his team down. Lori is torn between family loyalty to her brother and her feelings for Seb - not to mention the complex dynamics of a sport where teamwork and individual achievement are sometimes at odds.

Now, she faces the mental fight of her life: how much is she willing to sacrifice for love - or to win?

About the Author

After leaving Australia 'for a year' in 2006, Leonie never went home and now travels across Europe jotting down love stories wherever she goes. She has a degree in languages and is an expert at taking public transport and travelling under her own steam on foot or by bike. 'Home' is now in central Germany, in the vineyards along the Main river, where she spends her time writing happy endings in English and speaking German with bad grammar.
