Tessa Rhodes knows what it takes to win.
At forty-five, she’s an Iron Crown legend. After a devastating injury forced her out of the competition for two years, she’s finally back—and ready to prove she has what it takes to wear the crown.
But when Maren Welch shows up, suddenly the game changes.
Twenty-eight, a former gymnast, and a complete rookie, Maren has spent her entire life training to be the best. She’s strong, determined, and more than capable of giving Tessa a run for her money.
Tessa should be focused on beating her. Instead, she becomes her mentor.
As they train together, their relationship starts to change. What begins as admiration and friendship turns into an attraction neither of them is quite prepared for. But with the biggest competition of their lives approaching, getting involved could make everything more complicated.
What is more important—loving or winning?
What's Going on?
Finally, I have a new book out!
I know you’ve all been so patient with me, and I honestly can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. I’ve been juggling work, having people from all over the world come stay with me, and, of course, writing. It’s been a busy time, but I’m so incredibly proud of this book, Worth the Fall, and I can’t wait to hear what you think about it.
Not only did I fall in love with this story and these characters, but Tessa, the main character, apparently decided she needed to start her own queer sports line, too. So, I went with it. 😂
I created a whole line of gym gear and shirts inspired by Tessa and the story, and I’m having way too much fun with it.
If you want to check it out, you can click here. Everything is under the Sapphic Strength collection.
Thank you for sticking with me, especially through the longer wait between books. I appreciate every single one of you more than you know. ❤️
I will continue to keep writing, and I'm hopeful to have more stories for you soon. I’ll keep you updated as I release new books, but in the meantime, you can explore my backlist here. I also try to put books on sale throughout the year to help make them more accessible, and many are available in KU if that’s easier for you.
If you’d like to support my work in other ways, you can leave ratings and reviews, follow me on social media, or sign up for my newsletter so you don’t miss any news, giveaways, or the occasional fun reader game.
And if you’re ever in a position where you can’t support financially, please know that your engagement still means everything—every message, review, and follow genuinely matters more than I can say.
Thank you so much for being part of this journey. I’m endlessly grateful for all of you, and I can’t wait to share more of these characters who live in my head!
