One on One: A Novel - Jamie Harrow

"Move over, hockey romance fans. There's a new game in town. Jamie Harrow's debut novel sails through the net with the perfect blend of romance, spice, and a healthy dollop of a serious issue that bears addressing."-Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

They call it March Madness for a reason: Anything can happen on the way to a national championship.

Eight years after graduation, Annie Radford is not happy to be back at her alma mater in her old job with the Ardwyn Tigers' basketball team. Worse, her coworker from back in college, Ben Callahan, is still on the Tigers staff, and he's annoyingly wholesome, hot, and clinging to a grudge against Annie for abandoning him and the team their senior year.

But as Ardwyn becomes the season's Cinderella Story, things start heating up between Annie and Ben, too. And while neither of them can deny this could be something special, Annie's afraid to tell Ben the truth about why she left basketball-the thing she loves most-in the first place. She'll have to learn to trust him if they have a shot at being together.

In addition to being funny, romantic, and sexy, One on One examines the pressure put on college athletes, challenges the sexism in the world of sports, and exposes the dangers in whole communities idolizing the big men on campus.

For readers of The Hating Game and The Ex Talk, a workplace, enemies-to-lovers debut for anyone yearning for a courtside romance, perfect for anyone who can't get enough sports rom-coms.
