The growing popularity of sports romance, driven by the adaptations Heated Rivalry, Off Campus, and Finding Her Edge, is undeniable. Hockey offers the danger of glittering blades and rugged, masculine heroes who also happen to be emotionally intelligent; Formula 1 offers the glitz and glamour of settings like Monte Carlo and the tension of adrenaline-fueled races. There have also been hugely popular romances set in the worlds of soccer, the NFL, rugby, tennis, even lacrosse. Although the tennis novel Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid wasn’t a traditional romance, it hit some of the same notes: a character driven by ambition, tackling rivalry, success, and, of course, love. Alice Moloney, commissioning editor at Harper Fire, recently signed three romances by Victoria Taylor about a university rugby team. “Sports romance lets us play with these traditionally ultramasculine characters,” Moloney says, “and keep that physicality and competitiveness but broaden them into rounded, emotionally intelligent leading men too.”At Bookouture, associate publisher Lucy Frederick edits the Oakwood Ranch series by Bella North, which follows three brothers who play for the NFL.
