"A perfectly angsty second-chance romance." —Dahlia Adler, award-winning author of Cool for the Summer and Home Field Advantage

Out of Step, into You is a sapphic contemporary romance following childhood friends turned cross-country team rivals who are forced to work together to win the state championship – for fans of Kelly Quindlen and Rachael Lippincott.
You can't outrun love.

Taylor and Marianna were each other's whole world – best friends, running partners, practically sisters – until Marianna moved away and Taylor promptly ghosted her. When the former best friends turned rivals end up on the same cross-country team three years later, everything is a competition... and a reminder of old feelings, as well as blossoming new ones.
Marianna runs because she's angry.The oldest child of a single mother, she knows all about responsibility – for her siblings, at her part-time job. She just has to stay focused and be faster than the past nipping at her heels if she wants to secure a new, brighter future. With or without Taylor.
Taylor runs to prove herself. The only child of a Divison 1 athlete, she's no stranger to high expectations. With enough effort, she knows she can immortalize herself with a state record and make her parents proud. Then, she can discover her own passion. She definitely doesn't have time to untangle her feelings towards Mari.
Can this pair figure out a way to work together before their past catches up with them?
