Annie Radford swore she'd never work in college basketball again, but eight years after fleeing her job with the Ardwyn Tigers, she has no choice but to accept a role as the team's hype woman and videographer.
Annie's old friend and colleague, Ben Callahan, is as sexy and wholesome as ever, but why is he so determined to undermine her? Clearly, he hasn't forgiven her for disappearing on him in senior year.
When Annie and Ben find themselves competing to keep their jobs, tensions rise and old feelings come sizzling to the surface.

Reviews / Votes
Move over, hockey romance fans. There's a new game in town. Jamie Harrow's debut novel sails through the net with the perfect blend of romance, spice, and a healthy dollop of a serious issue that bears addressing * Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of By Any Other Name * Forgive me in advance, because I will be shouting about my love for One on One until my voice gives out. In her stunning debut, Jamie Harrow paints the game of basketball in a way that feels like life and love itself - in moments of struggle and perseverance, in breathtaking joy and heartbreak that gets beautifully repaired. Ben and Annie are so fully explored that they are now real people to me, and their love story unfolds with perfect tension and tenderness. A new all-time favorite * Jessica Joyce, USA Today bestselling author of You, With a View * Already binged Hannah Grace's Daydream and looking for your next sizzling sports romance? Jamie Harrow's One on One is just the book to fill the Maple Hills sized hole in your life * Culturefly * One on One is an immersive, sexy, absolute winner of a debut. It's the romance book version of the breathless anticipation that silences a packed arena in the split-second between the launch of a half-court shot and that perfect, delicious swish sound. Jamie Harrow has a forever fan in me! * Sarah Adler, USA Today bestselling author of Happy Medium * Jamie Harrow's One on One is such a sweet, sexy, and deeply sincere debut. It's a book all about showing up, whether on the basketball court, for the person you love, or for yourself. It made me feel all the expansive heart-thumping feelings - the anticipatory tension of setting up a free throw, the surge of adrenaline from a game-winning buzzer beater, the absolute power of a first kiss when you can tell it means something. I know I'll be thinking about this book for a long time! * Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of The Art of Catching Feelings * Sweet, sexy, and messy in all the right places. I adored every single page * Kate Robb, author of This Spells Love * One on One is a perfect balance of the magic and the heartbreak that come alongside loving a sport - the way these teams and institutions shape and carry us, the ways they often fail us, and the difficulty of holding both sides at once. With quiet humor, a patient slow burn, and immense tenderness for Annie, Ben, and the team that brings them together, Harrow's debut is a beautiful ode to falling into trust and love in equal measure, and to taking up hard-won space * KT Hoffman, author of The Prospects * Even readers who don't know a foul ball from a free throw will fall in love with ONE ON ONE. Jamie Harrow's witty, assured voice led me on a journey that is both swoony and full of hard-won emotional growth, and her well-crafted characters had me rooting for them from the first page. This is an absolute winner! * Ava Wilder, author of How to Fake it in Hollywood * Gorgeously tender and hold-your-breath dramatic, One on One is slow burn romance perfection. Prepare to be obsessed * Cressida McLaughlin, author of The Happy Hour * In her absorbing debut novel, Jamie Harrow has crafted a moving journey about following your dreams, falling in love, and the power of finding your voice. When Annie returns to her alma mater's basketball program as a video producer, it feels like a last resort. What she discovers is an opportunity to rekindle a sweeping romance, redefine her legacy, and rewrite the ending of her own collegiate athletic chapter. As enthralling, captivating, and addicting as the very best basketball games, with sparkling cinematic moments worthy of one of Annie's own electrifying sizzle reels, One on One is a total slam dunk. I couldn't put this down! * Becky Chalsen, author of Serendipity * Heart-poundingly romantic and a love letter to the sport of basketball, One on One is a slam dunk of a debut. You'll be cheering as loudly as you can for Annie and Ben * Carlie Walker, author of The Takedown * One on One showcases the best of what the romance genre has to offer! I cheered for Annie and Ben as they peeled back their layers and allowed themselves to fall, and I was completely in awe of Harrow's ability to balance both humor and hard topics with care. Complete with an enchanting ensemble cast of friends and family, and tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this book is an engrossing, propulsive read and an absolutely stunning debut! * Naina Kumar, bestselling author of Say You'll Be Mine * A charming and lively romance plus March Madness, what more could you want? Harrow is able to balance the heartbreak and messiness of reality with the anticipation of a slow burn and the excitement of watching your favorite team going for a championship. I found myself cheering for Annie and Ben and for the Ardwyn Tigers! * Lauren Evans, author of Casket Case * Harrow's breathtaking debut delves deep into the raw emotions of grief and the pure beauty of rediscovering joy in an exquisite tale of second chances, featuring an enemies-to-lovers romance * Library Journal (starred review) * I will be shouting about my love for One on One until my voice gives out . . .
