"Sadie Scofield is finally ready for the Texas River Odyssey, a 265-mile canoe race with three days of grueling, nonstop paddling. Every turn of the river will reveal new challenges--downed trees, poisonous snakes, alligators--but the dangers are all worth it. Reaching the finish line is the only way for Sadie to redeem herself for last year, when one small mistake spiraled into disaster. When she loses her partner the night before the race, she has no choice but to team up with Cully, her former best friend turned worst enemy. Everything about him irritates her, from his stupid handsome face to the way he holds his paddle. But as the miles pass, the pain builds, and family secrets come to light, Sadie realizes she'll have to work with Cully instead of against him. Last year's race was a catastrophe, but this year's race just might change her life in ways she never imagined." --page [4] of cover
