About this book
Noah Quinn lives for the pool — captain, breaststroke powerhouse, and firmly straight.
When rival Chris Hawkins edges him out in the final leg of a crucial relay, the athletic department forces them into mandatory after-hours technique exchanges. Two nights a week. Empty arena. Hands-on corrections that quickly turn far more intimate than either man planned.
What begins as tense drills explodes into stolen touches underwater, desperate strokes in the showers, and raw first-time surrender in the locker room. For the first time, the straight captain finds himself aching for the one man he used to hate — the scholarship swimmer carrying his family on his back.
With a leaked senior night ritual exposing them, teammates pushing their limits, and everything on the line at conference finals, Noah must choose: cling to the life he knew… or claim the partner who’s completely rewritten him.
Stroke Count is a scorching straight-to-gay MM sports romance packed with intense rivals-to-lovers tension, raw first times, and the thrill of surrendering on and off the blocks.
He came to fix his stroke. He stayed to lose control.
