Overview

Going for Gold is a sweet and steamy, opposites-attract romance featuring first times, long-distance pining, and creative use of massage equipment.

Danny Hartman and Sasha Zakaryan are used to doing things on hard mode. Both of them are elite gymnasts training for the upcoming Rio Olympics—with Danny feeling the pressure to win big for Team USA, while Sasha isn't sure he'll even make the team for Russia—and on top of that, they're in a secret, long-distance relationship.

But the Olympics don’t go the way either of them had planned, and when a shocking scandal rips apart Team USA, Danny turns to Sasha, only to find out that Sasha’s dealing with a crisis of his own and seemingly doesn’t have time for Danny. In the aftermath, their relationship feels like it’s one balance-beam wobble away from disaster; and when Danny invites Sasha to train at his gym over the summer, both of them are hoping for a fresh start.

Yet under the California sun, amid sweaty workouts and steamy kisses, the shadows between them grow longer. Danny’s tired of keeping secrets from his family and his friends, and as much as he wants a future with Sasha, he’s starting to worry that Sasha doesn’t feel the same way. Meanwhile, Sasha lives in fear of their relationship being discovered, knowing he could lose everything back home in Russia—or worse.

Will Danny and Sasha be able to regain their balance, or are they headed for a crash landing?

Readers should note that Going for Gold is the second in a trilogy with an overall HEA!
