Lovely and Entertaining Romance

When Andrea O'Conner kicked Denise Powers off the track team at the exclusive school she taught at, she did it with reluctance. However rules were rules and Denise had been consistently late to practice, sometimes missing altogether. Then Andrea learns that Denise never wanted to be on the team that she'd been competing because it was what her father wanted. Denise's interests were art, she wanted to paint, not run around on a track. Ian Powers if furious when he hears about Denise's dismissal from the team and he goes to the principal, demanding his daughter be put back on the team, the principal agrees, but Andrea does not. She proves to Ian that Denise was only on the team to please him and this is news to Ian, because he hadn't forced his daughter to run. Then Ian finds out it was his wheelchair bound father, Denise's grandfather, who had been behind it all. It seems the old man had been quite a runner in his day and he wanted his granddaughter to compete in a marathon where he was to hand out the trophy. Since his daughter doesn't want to run anymore, Ian decides to put his business on hold and compete himself. However he needs a trainer. He asks Andrea. She refuses. He goes to the principal again and offers to pay for the schools sporting equipment if he can get Andrea to change her mind about coaching him. But can he get Andrea to change her mind about him? I found "Taking Love in Stride" to be a fun filled read and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in a taking a few hours out of their schedule. Settling down with a romance is a nice way to spend some time, especially one like this.
