Heart of a Champion by Kris Monforte (discreet covers)

He's the last person I expected support from, but he's my rider. I can't be with him.

She needed my help when she was falling apart, when I was focused on only winning.

Can Sophia and Javi avoid the dynamic pull they have to each other?

Sophia Everett is a Technical Coordinator for a motorcycle racing team. She is living her best life, getting promoted and doing what she loves. Until her boyfriend dumps her wildly inappropriately after 2 years and then her mum passes away unexpectedly. Will she always feel this broken?

Javi Cordova is Infraction32’s rider and has the championship in his sights this season. Nothing is getting in his way of crossing the finish line as champion. Until he feels the pull of Sophia needing his support. Can he be there for her and keep his feelings to himself?

From Kris:

Heart of a Champion is a short and sweet sports romance.

A light and fluffy romantic comedy.

This is not a dark romance or motorcycle club romance.

A palette cleanser for my dark romance besties.

Or a low-impact, easy read for my time poor friends.
