Bloomsbury presents Spiral by Bal Khabra, read by Aaron Shedlock and Nia Serge.

He’s on edge while she’s en pointe in this fake-dating sports romance from the author of the smash hit Collide.

‘Fake-dating goodness filled with delicious tension’ Lana Ferguson, author of The Nanny

Elias Westbrook, a newly drafted hockey player for the Toronto Thunder, is facing the challenges of fame and media scrutiny. The tabloids are reporting on his every move, including which woman he was last seen with, but all he wants to do is escape the spotlight.

Enter from stage left Sage Beaumont, an aspiring ballerina whose lack of popularity online has put her at a major disadvantage for securing the roles she dreams of. When Sage finds herself with the chance to change her luck by fake-dating Elias, she takes her shot.

Soon enough, the flimsy rules they set in place fall away. But before things can spiral out of control, Sage and Elias will have to decide if they're willing to take the leap together or if they'll have to call it quits.

‘Bal Khabra is a master of swoon, and lovable characters. I dare you to try and read one of her novels in more than one sitting — they're simply unputdownable.’ Hannah Bonam-Young, author of Out on a Limb

Critic reviews

Spiral is fake dating goodness filled with delicious tension and overwhelming tenderness. These two had me kicking my feet. (Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Nanny)
Bal Khabra is a master of banter, swoon, and lovable characters. I dare you to try and read one of her novels in more than one sitting – they're simply unputdownable. (Hannah Bonam-Young, USA Today bestselling author of Out on a Limb)
Praise for Bal Khabra's Collide
Charming and brilliant! Bal Khabra’s Collide, equal parts spicy and sweet, shines above the rest. Khabra seamlessly weaves her whip-smart banter, captivating cast of characters and laugh-out-loud humor into an endearing, timeless love story. Readers will cheer for Aiden and Summer from the first page, and think of them long after the end. (Peyton Corinne, author of Unsteady)
Sexy and swoony, Aiden is a perfect book boyfriend. (Avery Keelan, author of Offside)

The characters were quite interesting in my opinion. In the previous book, the female lead was a bit more reserved and wasn't speaking her mind while in this one, Sage is more outspoken. Really liked the dynamics between the two leads, so cute and romantic
