The Summer Rush series puts Cheryl Douglas’s romance writing into a sports setting. The six books, starting with Sweet Spot (2016), follow athletes dealing with the pressures of competition alongside their personal lives. The titles lean into sports language, and the romances play out against game days and training schedules.
The series was published in two bursts, with the first three books in 2016-2017 and the final three in 2019. It shares the quick pacing and emotional directness of Douglas’s other contemporary romances.
