No Surrender

A rivals to lovers, forced proximity, small town romance with social anxiety rep.

Their meet cute is a three-legged race.

Sarah suffers from social anxiety but will do anything for her friends. She's a former soccer star who craves peace and quiet, ice cream, Guardians of the Galaxy and 90s alternative music. Blake Armitage is a hot former real estate mogul who grew up in foster care and wants to make a difference in the world. He's a gear head who loves his motorcycle, has a wicked dart game, and crochets to settle his mind.

Sarah is content with her life. The last thing she needs is a distraction. Especially a distraction like Blake Armitage, the sinfully delicious man who is Willow Creek's newest savior. But now he's turning up everywhere. He's a rival coach and her newest neighbor. And he clearly wants a much more intimate relationship.
