Up Close & Personal

In this "charming, witty, and tender" rom-com, a celebrity fitness instructor faces off against a jaded journalist (Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author). This sizzling, slow burn romance is for fans of 27 Dresses and Jessica Joyce!  Jo De La Cruz should be on top of the world. As one of spin’s hottest instructors, her workouts stream into thousands of living rooms, her waiting list is harder to access than Area 51, and even her hair has its own social media page. But Jo’s struggling from a decade in the spotlight—which is when she meets the annoyingly handsome journalist who claims her job is just yelling at people from a bike. Converting a hater is a challenge Jo can’t resist. Only nothing about Silas Anders matches her expectations. He throws himself into her classes, he’s genuinely interested in Jo’s hobbies, and—most surprising of all—he knows what it’s like to struggle with mental health. Between all-you-can-eat-diner lunches, thrifting adventures, and sizzling summer nights, Jo might even be catching feelings. But as buzz for the article skyrockets, Jo discovers that the man she’s been falling for may, in fact, be the one scamming her. Will trusting him break her heart—or lead to a love worth riding for?
