A charming Black, sapphic second chance romance between two high school teachers forced to coach the school's bowling team to victory amidst their long-standing rivalry, a group of meddling kids and colleagues rooting for their HEA, and memories of that kiss they shared as teens; for fans of Ashley Herring Blake and Chencia C. Higgins.

For teacher Ava Williams, some subjects are not up for debate. Like history—specifically, the one she has with Grace Jones, bowling pro and local celeb. Who is now, for no identifiable reason, teaching at the same smalltown Georgia school as Ava. Once upon a time, they were thick as thieves, best friends, rivals who pushed each other, and total bowling nerds. Then they shared a kiss, sweet and confusing… and after that, nothing was the same.

Ava is pretty sure she has every reason to hate Grace. Especially when the school’s soggy potato of a principal announces—finally—that the Peach Blossom school can have the bowling team Ava has been pushing for years…only to hand it to Grace.

Now they’re expected to team up and lead their new bowling team to victory in six months. And with that, their rivalry is back. Fierce, ultra-competitive… and with an undeniable attraction that pushes, pulls, and crashes together. It’s history. It’s chemistry. And it’s just a matter of time before it explodes…one way or the other.
