Born Legend (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218914028)

She was born to run.

Just not without a ball at her feet.

Jessica Legend had one future: soccer stardom.

Until a brutal injury shattered it.

With her cleats packed away and her competitive fire buried, Jess chooses the safe path. Veterinary school, her father's legacy, a life far from stadium lights.

Then a charity fun run changes everything.

What starts as a harmless race turns electric when Jess finds herself stride-for-stride with America's best miler. Coaches take notice. Whispers begin.

And suddenly, from the ashes of surrender, a new flame burns bright. Strange in shape, familiar in warmth, blazing with challenge.

Three races.

Three months.

One audacious goal. Become the first woman to break the four-minute mile barrier!

No woman has ever crossed it. Many believe no woman ever will.

From the roar of the blue oval at Drake Stadium to the sacred quiet of Oxford's track, every step carries Jess closer to Oslo. Under the endless Nordic twilight, she will confront the limits of her body, her past, and the world's expectations.

Because breaking a record is one thing.

Breaking belief is another.
