Stride for Stride
Not yet published
Expected 17 Mar 26Rivals on the track. Teammates on paper. But could they be more?
Jackson and Elliott 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 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 their very different upbringings, 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 a the sizzling follow up to Your Pace or Mine. It is a standalone medium spice, MM Sports Romance and is the second book 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 Elliott in Stride for Stride.

Review of advance copy
I'm really enjoying this series - long distance running is not a subject a lot of authors choose for their romance novels.
Jackson & Elliot are complete opposites personality-wise - Jackson's the sunshine to Elliot's grump. They are competing against each other, both hoping to win a spot on the Olympic team. Elliot goes out of his way to make things harder for Jackson - probably because he's attracted to him & a bit jealous, and doesn't realize it. Eventually, thanks to Altitude Camp, they realize there is an attraction and act on it. Both of them have family problems to deal with throughout the book. Jackson gets picked for the team, Darius (from the first book) finally makes the team, but Elliot does not (at least not at first).
There's lots of running, lots of competition, medium spice, re-appearances from characters in the first book, and an eventual HEA.
Loved it - looking forward to the next one.
