FORCED PROXIMITY
FORBIDDEN ROMANCE
SLOWBURN WITH IMMEDIATE TENSION
STEAMY ENOUGH TO FOG A PHONE
Sports therapist Julie Stevens reconsiders her taste in men when a brooding, legendary MMA fighter walks into her small-town gym. The fighter needs a team to prepare him for the brutal, winner-takes-all Warlord tournament. Meeting him in person, she learns that he’s crass, difficult, and even hostile… but she can’t turn him away, as this is the break that the gym needs.
Not only does she have to deal with the fact that Ryder was her celebrity crush for many years, but she also can’t catch a break with the grumpy fighter. Every encounter seems to go wrong… and then, one day, it doesn’t. Ryder’s walls peel back, piece by piece, until the complicated warrior reveals a man who loves hard and unequivocally. Once he wants something, he’ll fight for it.
Including her.
But that may risk Julie losing the gym that she holds up in her brother’s honor. And what will she think when secrets are dragged out of Ryder’s shadows that he’d much rather keep hidden?
CW: This series contains explicit sex scenes, characters who learn to live with grief, references to trauma, reactions to trauma, & vulgar language. This is a duology with a HEA, with a bonus anthology of their life after the story.

Rating & Review
5 out of 5
This book was unforgettable, and you won’t want to put it down. Who doesn’t love two amazing kick-ass MCs, and a story that captivates you from the start? The sparks fly fast…even if Julie and Ryder don’t act on it right away. (Seriously, they will have you practically ready to scream at them to just get together already). I truly did enjoy getting to know Julie and Ryder, and getting to read each of their perspectives as the story went on. This is one of those read alone with a cold drink books that will torture you in a delicious way with the slow burn and instant chemistry. Highly recommend! Side note, when do we get book two???
