She’s chasing her dream. He’s chasing her.

Laney Matteson refuses to let her dad down, again. She’s out of time and money, and is desperate to achieve what her father couldn’t, a professional status as a TitaniumPerson athlete.

When Miguel Garcia, TP World Champion and elder statement of the sport, offers to train her–for free–it’s almost too good to be true. Add in the fact he’s a man-bun sporting, thigh tattooed man thirteen years older than her? Triathlon training soon involves plenty of stroking, riding, and pounding. The pavement, of course.

With her goal closer than ever, Laney has to navigate her relationships and decide who has her best interests in mind. Miguel has to come to terms with the man he was, and the one he is today. By the end of the story we have two people who learn to stop proving their worth and instead learn to improve themselves, together.

Over the Line is a spicy, age-gap, endurance athlete romcom from the Breaking Barriers Collection.
