In It to Win It

By: Sharon C. Cooper

Narrated by: Zenzi Williams

Two entrepreneurs compete for a property but secure the biggest win of all—each other—in this second chance romantic comedy by USA Today bestselling author Sharon C. Cooper.

Spoiled, fickle, and prissy are only a few of the adjectives that have been used to describe Morgan Redford. Though she’s never had to worry about money, she’s determined to make a name for herself on her own terms. Her new venture won’t be an epic fail like her former professional cuddling service or the short-lived pet hotel. This time, through the nonprofit she cofounded, Morgan is doing something meaningful—helping teens who are aging out of foster care—and she’s got her eye on a property that could house these kids. But the competition is steep, and one of the bidders is someone she never expected. . . .

When real estate developer Drake Faulkner learns that his ex—the one who ghosted him years ago—is a potential buyer for the property his eccentric mentor is selling, his competitive streak amps up. No way is he letting her win the property he wants. Bitter? Yes. Petty? Probably. But his mentor has a stipulation: potential buyers must participate in an Ironman competition of sorts for the property. Drake refuses to play along with this ridiculous demand, until he discovers Morgan has signed up. If Little Miss Can’t Run a Block Without Gasping for Air is doing it, he will too. But as the gauntlet of games heats up and forces them to face the past, they are met with a pull that feels all too familiar.

Now, if only they could keep their eyes on the prize instead of on each other—but who’s to say they can’t do both?

Nice story of second chances, forgiveness

This author's books are an automatic buy for me. I really liked reading Drake and Morgan's love story. I loved the
twins, and Morgan's friend, Isabella. There were a lot of great descriptions. Another terrific story!

Definitely a good listen

This was an excellent book. I enjoyed the drama, romance, and reconciliation. Honestly it was the twins for me. This author is quickly becoming one of my faves. if you haven't already, give "Business not as usual" a listen, it's truly's story

Cute

I enjoyed the book. It was cute, but there was an opportunity to go deeper on the storyline.
Still a great story, but felt rushed.

Cuteness

Great story about what’s meant to be. I love how they came full circle and created the perfect life with one another. The break I’m between their relationship allowed time for growth .

Sweet and very romantic

College love, rekindling an old flame and second chances with a little humor. Very cute and entertaining read!
