Stroke of Love

The line between gold and ruin is only seven inches long.

I'm Gemma Jones—the five-foot-nothing coxswain steering four god-tier Olympic rowers toward gold in Paris. My job is simple: sit inches from their bodies, keep my hands steady on the rudder, and be the unshakeable voice of discipline while watching them move in perfect, agonizing rhythm.

But I've been hopelessly in love with all four of them since our first stroke together.

Thomas Hayes—stroke seat, all dangerous intensity and rough edges. Nicky Lawson—controlled perfection with filthy promises. Michael Torres—a devastating smile and hands that know exactly how to unravel me. Paul Richardson—our gentle giant captain with ice-blue eyes and a protective streak that makes me feel utterly wrecked.

For years, we kept our lines sacred. Coxswain and crew. Professional. Untouchable.

Then Paris happened.

Somewhere between the boathouse and the Olympic Village, between grueling dawn sessions and stolen midnight touches, everything we swore we'd never do shattered. When Nicky kisses me like I'm his salvation, when Tommy's hands worship every inch of me, when Paul holds me like I'm sacred, and Michael looks at me like I'm his entire world—the rules stop mattering.

They say wanting four men makes me greedy. Reckless. Wrong.

But the hardest race isn't the one on the water. It's keeping my dream, my heart, and my crew from sinking under the weight of our forbidden, desperate love.

Stroke of Love is a full-length standalone why-choose sports romance featuring one determined coxswain and four obsessed Olympic rowers who will do anything to make her theirs. Explosive tension, high stakes, and serious heat. HEA guaranteed. No cheating. No choosing. Just one woman and four men who refuse to let her go.
