One on One: A Novel By Jamie Harrow

In One on One, Jamie Harrow makes an exciting debut that captures the essence of sports, romance, and the complexities of personal struggles. Set against the thrilling backdrop of college basketball, the story follows Annie Radford, who finds herself back at her alma mater working for the Ardwyn Tigers’ basketball team eight years after graduation. However, her return isn’t exactly joyous, especially with her old coworker, Ben Callahan, still on staff. He’s infuriatingly attractive and wholesome, but he harbors a grudge against Annie for abandoning him and the team in their senior year.

As the Ardwyn Tigers embark on an unexpected Cinderella Story during March Madness, the chemistry between Annie and Ben reignites, leading to a simmering tension that neither can ignore. However, Annie is haunted by the truth of why she left the world of basketball—a truth she’s terrified to reveal to Ben. With the stakes rising both on and off the court, Annie must confront her fears and learn to trust Ben if they are to have a chance at a future together.

Rich with humor, romance, and sizzling tension, One on One also tackles serious issues such as the pressures faced by college athletes, the pervasive sexism in sports, and the potential dangers of idolizing star players. Perfect for fans of The Hating Game and The Ex Talk, this enemies-to-lovers tale is a delightful sports rom-com that will keep readers cheering for Annie and Ben’s journey both on and off the court.
