After heartbreak, sometimes life offers a second chance.

Gay romance author Renny Ross arrives in California’s Bay Area looking for exactly that. Following a painful breakup, he’s ready for a fresh start and a new professional opportunity writing the anniversary history of a local university. Thanks to university president Dr. Taylor James, the project promises to be a welcome distraction from his personal life.

What Renny doesn’t expect is to come face-to-face with someone he never truly forgot.

Brent D. King DuPree is beginning a new chapter of his own. Recently divorced after spending more than two decades raising a family, Brent is finally allowing himself the freedom to explore the life he postponed for years. Newly out, newly single, and uncertain about navigating the Bay Area’s vibrant queer community, he’s focused on discovering who he is beyond the roles he’s always played.

Then he reconnects with Renny.

Years earlier, Renny had been Brent’s college mentor, tutor, and first real crush. Time has changed both men, but the feelings they shared never entirely disappeared. As their lives become intertwined once again through the university community, old attraction rekindles into something deeper and more meaningful.

This time, there are no secrets keeping them apart.

But second chances come with their own challenges, and both men must decide whether they’re ready to trust love again after years of disappointment, missed opportunities, and lives lived for everyone but themselves.

Warm, romantic, and deeply affirming, Love Is a Contact Sport is a heartfelt M/M romance about reinvention, coming out later in life, and discovering that sometimes the right person arrives twice.
