The Boat That Wasn't There
A Second-Chance Romance Between Rival RowersBy Talia Duscombe
Length7h 23m
About this audiobook
Jules Fenwick has a new rowing club, a new job close to home, and a plan for getting through spring without making things awkward with her ex. Then Hannah Bell smiles at her across a crowded clubroom, and Jules notices something odd about a photograph of Brackenford’s treasured racing boat.
Eight years after their breakup, Jules and Hannah are rowing for rival clubs on the same English river. Their old arguments remain unresolved, their attraction has survived, and neither wants to give up the life she has built.
Meanwhile, the historic wooden single Lark is supposedly back from a photography session. The picture shows a covered boat—but the details do not quite agree. A small question leads to missing information, clashing assumptions, and awkward demands for proof.
Between training, teammates, theatre friends, bicycle repairs, and shared history, Jules and Hannah discover who the other has become. They may be able to row together again. What they can promise each other is harder.
