Wanting him is the real scandal.
Chris Green was an Olympic Golden Boy, the pride of his hometown-until one mistake turned him into a name people won't say out loud. With his athletics career in ruins, he's already at rock bottom.
Then a masked man online makes him want something even more impossible than redemption.
Isaiah Owens is a dedicated academic who lives on his own terms. Camming pays the bills, and working at his uncle's sports agency is just a means to an end. Antagonising the agency's entitled clients, especially the disgraced athlete he can't stand is simply a bonus.
Everything is neatly compartmentalised, until Isaiah breaks his one rule and starts falling for a man he's never met. A man who, despite the mask, sees the parts of him he's spent a lifetime hiding.
When the truth is revealed, neither of them will get out unscathed.
False Starts is a MM enemies-to-lovers sports romance featuring a disgraced athlete and an academic cam boy where hidden identities and high stakes secrets collide. It is the third interconnected standalone novel in the Running for the Romance series, perfect for fans of For the Fans and Top Secret.
