Coach's Prize - An M/M Age-Gap Sports Romance #976858

He was just supposed to help me cross the finish line. He wasn't supposed to completely dismantle my defenses.
Escaping a soul-crushing corporate job and an incredibly toxic ex, twenty-six-year-old Riley Voss just wants a quiet fresh start in the small town of Cedar Lake. His impulsive plan to reclaim his life? Train for a marathon. The problem? He can barely run a 5K.
He needs a coach.
At forty, Travis Kane is the steady, dependable rock everyone else leans on. He’s spent his life taking care of others, leaving nothing for himself. When an anxious, exhausted, and beautiful runner shows up looking for guidance, Travis's protective instincts kick into overdrive.
What starts as grueling early-morning track sessions soon blurs into something much deeper. Travis’s authoritative, gravelly praise—"Good boy," "That's it," "Let go"—pushes Riley past his physical limits and straight through his emotional walls.
Under Travis's intense, guiding hands, Riley is finally learning how to breathe again. But Travis has lived behind his own walls for years, and crossing the line from professional to personal could ruin the one incredible thing he's finally claimed for himself.
Coach's Prize is a high-heat, steamy M/M sports romance featuring an age gap, intense praise, hurt/comfort, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
