It took a trip to Paris for these two women to learn to like each other, but will their race for the gold shatter their budding romance? Paula After two years of training with Deena Lovelace, one thing is clear: she doesn’t like me. That’s okay, I’m not too fond of her either. But when our coach assigns us to be roommates at the International Games in Paris, I’m surprised to learn that our team Ice Queen has a warm side. I’m also surprised to realize that I’m falling in love with her. Deena I’ve never understood why Paula Martinez hates me, but when we’re assigned to stay in the same room at the Games, we unexpectedly become friends. My social anxiety and neurodivergence tends to keep people at a distance but with Paula, all I want to do is get closer. Once she gets to know the real me, I start thinking that we could have a future together, maybe even one of those fairytale sports romances. At least until our big marathon, when everything falls apart… They play for the same team, but they’re also competitors. Will their desire to win at all costs make these athletes lose at the game of love? “Racing for Love” is part of the “Playing to Win” lesbian sports romance series.
