The Race to Midnight (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987011645)

Celia Martinez and Brian Young have been best friends since high school and now share an apartment together in Dallas. They are opposites in every way. She's the extrovert to his introvert, the sunshine to his grumpy, the interior designing fashionista to his online gamer. But he's been there, quietly cheering her on in every event the highly competitive Celia has entered them into over the years.

Little does Celia know that Brian has harbored a crush on her for more than a decade-and there is no way that Celia can find out. It would ruin their friendship and living situation forever.

But when their friend Katie shows up and begs the two of them to join her team for a city-wide, New Year's Eve race in their Louisiana hometown, Celia is ready to jump in feet first. After all, the prize is $10,000 and Celia is desperate to use the money to help her sister. Brian wants nothing to do with the race-but he can't say no to Celia.

Soon Brian and Celia join Katie and her fiance, Jacob, for the night time competition. Following the clues, they will sing, dance, race, draw, and strategize their way to the finish line. They have built the perfect team, but they didn't count on Celia's high school rival showing up and trying to sabotage their sprint to the finish line.

The more they work together, the more Brian and Celia have to confront their deeply buried, smoldering attraction to one another. Can their team overcome the obstacles and odds and start the New Year off with a financial bang?
