Elizabeth Hrib will have readers racing to the finish line when a Manhattan architect's attempts to win over her office crush set her on a collision course with a personal trainer who's got all the right moves.
Lydia McKenzie is not a runner. Not even close. But in her quest to be taken seriously at work - and catch the eye of her office crush - she signs up for the New York City Marathon as part of her architectural firm's outreach program. Now she just needs to avoid making a fool of herself. Thankfully, she knows how to outsource.
Personal trainer Luke Townsend is definitely a runner, and he's exactly what Lydia needs to get in shape: experienced, motivational, funny, kind, well-muscled...and when he and Lydia bond over her redesign of the Manhattan Youth Center, a place near and dear to Luke's heart, their training time intensifies from hitting the pavement to hitting the sheets. Still counts as a workout, right
Suddenly, everything Lydia thought she wanted feels less clear, but she's determined not to let a little unplanned indiscretion derail her goals. There's no reason she and Luke can't keep training as if they don't share mind-blowing chemistry; they're professionals. But when her project proposal suddenly hangs in the balance, and her office crush offers some awfully tempting one-on-one help, she'll have to decide which direction her heart wants to run.
Elizabeth Hrib was born and raised in London, Ontario. She studied nursing in university but fell in love with storytelling and dreaming up happily-ever-afters, so she decided to make it her day job. When she's not writing, she can be found at the piano, swooning over her favourite books on Instagram or buying too many houseplants.
