Stride for Stride: A Spicy MM Rivals-to-Lovers Romance

By Kim Stephenson

Rivals on the road. Teammates on paper. But could they be more?

Jackson and Elliot have been neck-and-neck since their first race. Two elite marathoners constantly pushing each other to the limit. But with the Olympics looming, they're forced to do the unthinkable: train together.

Altitude camp means long runs, cold nights, and the kind of tension that's not just competitive anymore. When a single kiss shatters the fragile line between enemies and something much more complicated, both men are left breathless-for reasons that have nothing to do with their last tempo run.

But between the pressure of the Olympics, increased media scrutiny and career-threatening injuries, their chance at love might not make it to the finish line.

Can they go stride for stride toward something real, or will the world pull them apart before they've even begun?

Stride for Stride is the sizzling follow-up to Your Pace or Mine. It is a standalone spicy MM Sports Romance and book 2 in the Running for the Romance series.

If you loved Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid and Pole Position by Rebecca J. Caffrey, you'll fall hard for Jackson and Elliot in Stride for Stride.
