UP CLOSE & PERSONAL
out April 29, 2025 from Forever!

A jaded journalist challenges the fitness world’s hottest spin instructor to show she isn’t a scam in this clever, compelling hate-to-love romance for readers of Jessica Joyce and Abby Jimenez!

Jo De La Cruz should be on top of the world. As one of spinning’s hottest instructors, her workouts stream into thousands of living rooms, her waiting list is harder to access than Area 51, and even her hair—her actual hair—has its own social media page. But after a decade under the spotlight, Jo’s struggling to keep her head in the game lately. . . at the one time she needs to be playing at one hundred percent. Which is when she meets the one journalist who’s determined to prove her job is nothing more than yelling at people from a bike.

But converting a hater is a challenge Jo can’t resist.

Only nothing about Silas Anders matches her expectations. He throws himself into her classes, he’s genuinely interested in Jo’s story, and—most surprising of all—he knows what it’s like to live with mental health struggles. Between five-dollar pizza slices, hilarious thrifting adventures, and sizzling salsa dancing, Jo might just be catching feelings. But as buzz for the article begins building beyond belief, Jo discovers Silas hasn’t been entirely truthful . . . and that the man she’s been falling for may, in fact, be the one scamming her. Trusting him would mean letting down her walls once and for all—but letting him go might mean losing a love worth riding for.​​
