Elowyn Thornton has spent her life believing she is the girl men overlook. At twenty-six, she's a graduate student in English literature with a steady boyfriend that fits into her carefully constructed life. Her life is moving forward, until the night Elowyn learns just how replaceable she really is... She makes a phone call to the man she never wanted to need again. Dean Holloway is her brother's best friend and her first kiss, and the man who walked away when she was sixteen. Now a star NFL tight end, Dean is everything Elowyn believes she can't have. Then there's Grey Ashbourne, her brother's charming British friend. He's a professional soccer player who is back in Los Angeles to recover from an injury. Grey offers Elowyn things she's never had before. Patience without pressure, affection without expectation, and a love that feels easy. Caught between two men who see her in very different ways, Elowyn must confront the question she's avoided her entire life: Is she brave enough to believe she's worthy of being chosen? Worthy of the Win is a slow-burn, emotionally rich romance about self-worth, timing, and the kind of love that refuses to let you hide.
