The Winner Takes It All - James Ivy L.

After surviving the car accident that killed her parents, Yelena keeps a tight control over her life. She holds success close and any possible relationships at arm's length; she certainly can't let any potential partners close enough to lose them too. Her competitive spirit sends her to the top of her gym's leaderboard, or rather, to a tie for first place. Tied with her least favorite person at the gym. With a 1,000-dollar prize and her pride at stake, Yelena will do whatever it takes to beat out her rival, Embry. If only Embry weren't so damn pretty.

Embry needs to be the best. Despite her wall of diplomas and awards, it's the gym leaderboard she has her eye on lately, but her number-one place has somehow become tied for first. Unacceptable. Worse, when her tennis partner gets hurt, the only person who can step in for the upcoming pairs competition is the last person she wants on her team.

Yelena and Embry begrudgingly team up for the tennis competition. As they spend time together, though, they find they're more similar than different, and deeper feelings blossom. But will their fears-and the leaderboard-get in the way of what they both truly want?

The Winner Takes It All is a rivals-to-lovers sapphic romance.
