In the Long Run (Hand Signed)

Hand Signed by the Author

Every step leads to love in this irresistible fake-dating romance.

Genevieve Halliday’s life is officially off track. She’s somehow signed up for a marathon she’s wildly unprepared for, her infuriating ex refuses to stop explaining why they should be together, and in a moment of pure panic, she asks a gorgeous stranger to pose as her date.

Knox Watson never stays in one place for long. Determined to outrun his family’s troubled past, he’s built a life on constant motion, until his godfather’s beloved pâtisserie faces closure. To save it, Knox will have to do the one thing he avoids most: stay.

When they join the Croissants and Kilometres run club, sparks ignite fast. Their fake relationship becomes the club’s favourite storyline, with everyone rooting for their undeniable chemistry. But as training miles add up and feelings grow harder to ignore, Gen and Knox must decide if they can keep pretending—or risk everything for something real.

Perfect for fans of fake dating romance, slow-burn chemistry, opposites-attract love stories, and steamy contemporary romance, this laugh-out-loud, heart-racing novel proves that sometimes the longest run leads straight to love.

Join the club and sprint into this steamy, feel-good romance from award-winning author Emma Mugglestone.
