Caught Running

Brandon Bartlett’s plate isn’t full, it’s overflowing. Between the classes he teaches, the students he tutors, and the doctorate he’s trying to study for, he doesn’t have time for the coaching position he’s just gotten saddled with. The coach didn’t get along with him when they were students. As co-faculty, things can only get worse. 

Jake Campbell has always lived for the game. Baseball got him a full ride to university, and all it cost was a career-ending injury. Now he’s stuck teaching PE at the same school he graduated from. Jake’s going nowhere fast—unlike his new assistant coach, who’s got a runner’s speed and a body to match. 

The two men quickly grow close, but neither wants to make the first move. In small-town Georgia, striking out could cost far more than their friendship. But the connection between them can’t be denied, and secrets can only be kept for so long. With the end of the season fast approaching, they’re running out of chances to knock it out of the park.

This is a re-release of the original, without changes.
