Synopsis

Olivia has always known she needs to work twice as hard to get half as far, and this has only made her more determined to get to the top. But when Olivia arrives in Athens for her dream job with the International Olympics Committee, she discovers her role has been handed to the well-connected son of a billionaire, and she’s left to muck-in with the volunteers.

Zeke, the heartthrob star athlete of Team GB, is in Athens to defend his title as the fastest man in the world. Outwardly charming and confident, Zeke worries about the future of his career while fending off questions from reporters and teammates alike about his recent breakup with celebrated Team USA gymnast, Valentina Ross-Rodriguez.

When Zeke and Olivia collide (literally) on their first day in the Olympic Village, sparks fly—and not in a good way. But, as their paths cross over the course of the Games, neither of them can deny their growing attraction.

Will their budding romance make it over the finish line, or will they stumble at the final hurdle?
