The Race — Cinzia Maro

On the eve of a regatta, Gabriele Acquaviva and Nicola Neri run into Marino Benedetti, and suddenly their ancient rivalry becomes a race to win his heart. They don't expect to win both. Nor that their antagonism will turn into something else. Nicola is the winner of the A Class Catamaran championship for the last five years. For three years, Gabriele has tried to overcome him. One day, they find themselves together on the Island of the Wind to check the layout of the next race. They meet Marino, a young, stunning islander. Marino is a loner. He knows that no one will ever be able to share his life on the island. And he doesn't want to give his heart easily, unless the two sailors are able to demonstrate their ability to work together to get what they care about. During the race, as a shark attacks their catamarans, Gabriele and Nicola have the opportunity to test their real feelings. Note: This book is written in one point of view.
