See you at the Finish Line by Zac Hammett (Paperback)

An enemies-to-lovers queer sports romance perfect for readers who enjoy competitive tension and emotional rivalry.

George and Lucas already struggle to tolerate each other, making their place on the same Cambridge University rowing team far from ideal. George arrives from America with a reputation built on sporting talent and charm, while Lucas has spent years working hard for every opportunity he has earned.

Their personalities clash immediately. George’s carefree attitude frustrates Lucas, especially when it seems he has been handed advantages others had to fight for. But when George is forced to take his studies seriously, the two strike an agreement. Lucas will help him prepare for exams in exchange for support pursuing his crush, Amir.

What begins as a practical arrangement quickly becomes more complicated.

As they train, study, and compete together, they face pressure from rival rowers, demanding expectations within the team, and fierce competition against Oxford. Spending more time together slowly changes the dynamic between them, turning irritation into understanding and rivalry into something neither expected.

The closer they become, the harder it is to ignore the connection forming beneath their constant arguments and competitive energy. Both are forced to reconsider what they truly want, not only from rowing and university life, but from each other.

Set against the backdrop of university rowing and long-standing sporting rivalries, this story explores ambition, attraction, friendship, and the challenge of confronting feelings that could change everything.
