Kulti – Mariana Zapata

The queen of slow burn delivers one of her most beloved stories.

Sal Casillas has been in love with soccer legend Reiner Kulti since she was a kid. When he becomes her coach, she quickly learns that idols don't always live up to the dream. What follows is a slow-burn, enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance filled with banter, growth, and the kind of tension that makes every page ache with anticipation.

Viral on BookTok for the iconic hook: "He was my idol. Now he's my coach." Readers rave about the emotional payoff after hundreds of pages of delicious build-up. Trending among book lovers who love Mariana Zapata's The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, Lucy Score's Things We Never Got Over, and Hannah Grace's Icebreaker.
