About the Book
George and Lucas can’t stand each other — which makes it very awkward being on the same Cambridge University rowing team. The uber-charming, all-American George got accepted at Cambridge for his sporting prowess, not his subpar grades. Economics whizz and sarcasm expert Lucas, meanwhile, works hard for everything he’s got, which sadly does not include a boyfriend.
When the news leaks that George receives academic preferential treatment—Cambridge couldn’t lose their star athlete, after all—he’s told he must actually study this year to pass his exams. That’s when he zeroes in on Lucas for help. Lucas agrees, but on one condition: George will teach Lucas his lothario ways so he can finally seduce his long-time crush, Amir.
But soon they’re in way over their heads, seducing and cheating their way to what they want. As they face rivals within their own squad and cutthroat competitors at Oxford, they find themselves unexpectedly becoming closer. What happens when your worst enemy may just be who you needed all along?

Reviews
“Filled to the brim with smart wit and delicious tension, See You at the Finish Line is a must read!”
“See You at the Finish Line is the kind of sporty romance that will leave readers swooning. As Hammett’s characters test the romantic waters with one another, the ‘will they or won’t they’ vibes make the book impossible to put down. Sexy, surprising and sharp-witted in all the best ways. Once you cross the finish line, you might just be tempted to start all over again.”
“Equal parts riotous humor and delicious chemistry, See You at the Finish Line is a charmingly good time. From the page-turning slow-burn romance to the brilliant moments of self-discovery and self-confidence, George and Lucas’s triumphant love story will have readers cheering until the very end.”
“See You at the Finish Line is a charming, sexy romcom with a relatably spiky short king and a himbo you’ll fall in love with. I raced through it (if you’ll pardon the pun).”
“I loved this book! A sizzling, funny, and sweet read set in the ultra-competitive world of the Oxbridge Boat Race. I was completely engrossed in George and Lucas’s journey from enemies to lovers. Zac Hammett has crafted a truly smashing rom-com and I can’t recommend it enough. Bravo!”
