The Golden Crucible race is secretive, unusual, and—some say—crazy. It will test your endurance. It will test your strength. It will test … your heart. When winning is everything … can two competitors walk away from the real prize? At 45, Rachel’s given up on love. Competition ended all her relationships, and she’s fine running her race alone. At 38, Evan’s given up on love. He’s just not the commitment type, and he’s declared himself retired from trying. When Rachel, a teacher and obstacle-course racer, and Evan, a former English soccer star, meet as competitors in The Golden Crucible endurance race, winning is the only thing on their minds. She needs the prize money for her students; he needs the publicity to boost his reputation. But pushing physical and mental limits side by side with your rival for hours—for days—means getting to know that person, inside and out, really damn well. Well enough to start feeling. To start caring. To start questioning everything. And to start wondering if love is worth fighting for, after all. AGAINST ALL OBSTACLES is “The Amazing Race” romance you’ve been dreaming of. With compelling characters who aren’t afraid to go head-to-head right to the finish line, AGAINST ALL OBSTACLES will have you tying your own laces and hitting the trail! For fans of NYT bestseller Lucy Score and Janice Whiteaker’s romances, author Jennifer Safrey’s AGAINST ALL OBSTACLES will be your new favorite read! Pick up your copy today!
Authors
Hey, friend! I’m Jen Safrey (aka Jennifer Safrey) and—I still get a thrill every time I say this!—I’m an author. I write contemporary romance, and I also write fantasy novels that feature modern, feminist versions of characters we loved from fairy stories. I’ve written four novels for Silhouette Special Edition (now Harlequin Special Edition)—all featuring smart, sassy, accomplished heroines and heroes you love to love. Themes in my romance novels have included all my faves: friends-to-lovers, marriage of convenience, and urban settings. I just finished writing a manuscript featuring a rivals-to-lovers story, which I can’t wait to tell you about. I promise to update you on its progress. I’ve also written one fantasy novel, Tooth and Nail (Skyhorse Publishing), about a tough boxer in Washington DC who discovers she is a half faerie—and not just any kind of faerie; these fae collect teeth, and they need her help to stop a threat. My home is just south of Boston, and I live with the love of my life and our two lovable but definitely weird cats.
