Pro cyclist Luca Biondi lives for the race. For the star of

Team Antano-Clark, victory lies within his grasp—if he can outdistance 200

other hopefuls, avoid suspicion from race officials, and keep his lieutenant

more friend than foe. Luca also has secrets, and eyes for amateur cyclist and

journalist Christopher Nye.

Christopher understands Luca’s need to keep their

relationship under wraps, but chafes at hiding in the shadows of his lover’s

career. He’s ready to cheer Luca’s victories, but he knows too well how triumph

can turn to tears. While Christopher’s heart sees Luca the man, his inner

journalist—and his editor—sees the cycling world’s biggest scoop.

From the jagged curves of the Colorado Rockies to the

viciously steep Belgian hills, Luca can ride out any bumps—except rumors about

his loyalty.

A few words in the wrong ear could crash everything. With

miles between them, hints of scandal, and Luca’s fierce need to guard his

reputation, a journalist might have to let go of the biggest story of his career

or risk forcing his lover to abandon the race. Christopher and Luca face a path

more treacherous than any road to the summit in the Italian Alps.
