A Shot to the Heart: A Sass and Steam Novella Catherine Stein

The best shot of these Olympic Games is coming from Cupid's bow.




Competitive archer Cora Maxwell will let nothing stop her quest to compete at the 1904 Olympic Games. Not even a devastating injury to her arm. With the help of a mechanical device known as the Electro-Flex, Cora has worked her way back to top form-and she's found a long-distance friend in the machine's inventor. She's ready to shoot for gold and she's thrilled to have a fan to cheer her on.




Inventor Adam Levett harbors a secret love for his athletic friend, but he values their friendship too highly to risk revealing his feelings. When they meet in person for the World's Fair and the Olympics, he plans to cheer her to victory, but he won't allow himself to hope for more. Until a searing kiss makes him suspect the attraction might not be as one-sided as he'd believed.




As the days tick down to Cora's competition, strange disturbances at the Fair threaten both Adam's career and her Olympic dream-as well as their evolving relationship. But these friends are no quitters, and together they square off against rogue dragons, electrical mishaps, and vicious competitors. Because in these Games, only true loyalty can win the heart of a champion.
