He was just supposed to help him cross the finish line. He wasn't supposed to completely dismantle his defenses.
Escaping a soul-crushing corporate job and a 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 is to train for a half-marathon. The problem is he can barely run a mile without wheezing. He needs a coach.
At forty, Travis Kane is the steady, dependable rock everyone else leans on. He has spent his life taking care of others, leaving nothing for himself. When an anxious, exhausted 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 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 is a terrifying risk.
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.
