About
A contender running for the roses
As a Black woman in a field with little diversity, Piper McKinney is determined to make her mark on the horse-racing world. Raised on a Thoroughbred farm in Kentucky, Piper's dream is for her horse to win the prestigious Kentucky Derby. With the help of her best friend and trainer, Tucker Hale, she gains national attention but must grapple with the complications that arise when a journalist delves into her past as a transracial adoptee.
A best friend racing for love
In an effort to win Piper's heart, Tucker formulates a plan to train Piper's horse to victory, hoping to prove himself to her, her parents, and his own self-doubts. Then a shocking scandal hits the media, implicating both Piper and her parents, and she and Tucker will have to survive the onslaught to find their way to the winner's circle--and each other.

Shiloh's fans will speed through this sweet, satisfying romance."
Publishers Weekly
"Shiloh radiates wisdom and sincerity in the second installment of her Love in the Spotlight series . . . A Run at Love is an inspiring friends-to-lovers modern romance about breaking barriers of ethnicity and gender and the importance of representation in nondiverse spaces. She brilliantly captures the drama of the equestrian world and the road to the Kentucky Derby while illuminating the emotional and experiential complexities of transracial adoption and identity."

Library Journal
"A Run at Love by Toni Shiloh is everything I want in a 'friends to more' romance, and then some . . . swoony and sweet and a little sassy. . . . Find a fancy hat (or a going-out Stetson), a slice of Derby pie, and a cup of mint julep and curl up with A Run at Love post haste!"
