He wasn't supposed to fall for her. She wasn't supposed to need him. But sometimes love shows up when you least expect it. Escape to the Southern California coast with this swoony, rule-breaking romance. Claire Kaminski teaches spin with grit and passion, pushing her riders harder than she pushes herself. She's worked hard to rebuild her life—staying grounded, avoiding risk, and never, ever getting involved at work. Gavin Briggs is the future of his family's nationwide fitness club franchise. He plays by the rules, including the one that says no dating employees. But when a late-night emergency forces Claire into his guest room and into his heart, they're both in for the ride of a lifetime. She’s Grounded by Fear. He’s Trapped by Expectations. Falling for Each Other Changes Everything Claire Kaminski powers through life from the saddle of a spin bike, pushing her riders harder than she pushes herself. Flying? Never again—one childhood tragedy grounded her for good. Gavin Briggs, club manager and heir to a nationwide fitness brand, keeps his distance from employees... until a dare lands him in Claire's legendary cycling class. When a run of bad luck leaves Claire with two flat tires and nowhere to sleep, Gavin breaks every rule and opens his door. Sparks ignite over a late-night rescue, an early-morning workout, and a beachside breakfast—but Gavin's father controls the club, and his handbook has one fatal clause: no relationships between staff. For Claire and Gavin, love means challenging phobias, family expectations, and the fine print that says they can never be together. And this time, there's no staying in the comfort zone.
