Coach Fallout

(2026)
A novel by

From the moment we were born, Rein Winkelmann and I were destined to be rivals. Our families have been feuding for as long as Gilberton has been a town.

Against all odds, Rein became my best friend—my ride-or-die. On and off the field. Like Romeo and Juliet, but with football…and a straight guy I had no business crushing on.

We both made the majors, but our dream turned into a nightmare when a mistimed hit sent us both crashing to the turf. Rein got up. I didn't.

We haven't spoken a word to each other in almost fifteen years.

Until we both end up back in Gilberton. An unexpected run-in turns into one of us waking up naked. Spoiler alert: it's the straight guy.

But I don't want to let Rein into my life again. Not after what he did in the fallout of the accident.

Fate has other plans, though. Turns out, we're both bidding for the same minor league football team. The seller gives us twenty-four hours to buy it on one condition: we have to buy it
together.

Will opening old wounds destroy us…or finally turn us into something more?
