Clare is an author whom I always want to read as soon as she releases a new book. I’ve been involved with quite a few of her tours, but also missed a few due to my poor planning, so I was thrilled to be able to accept a place on this tour, especially as I was lucky to meet her at the Authors United Afternoon Tea in York this year.

I’m thrilled to help with the cover reveal for the next sports rom-com from Leonie Mack. This is the next in her cycling related spicy series. Synopsis Love is a long game… Down-and-out after retiring from cycling to 'get a real job', Leesa Kubicka just wants to forget about her years on the elite team, the races she mostly lost. Just her luck, her first real assignment at the sports marketing agency where she's building a career takes her right back to everything she wanted to leave behind: cycling, the Tour de France and Colin Gallagher, the immature joker who'd enjoyed riling her up with stupid pranks – the guy she'd nearly kissed back in September.
