About this book

When an MMA fighter known for channeling her demons through brutal fights receives a mysterious death threat, she's forced to accept protection from the last person she wants anywhere near her—a retired heavyweight champion who somehow makes her blood boil even hotter than the ring does. Harm has spent years perfecting the art of controlled fury, but Mars disrupts everything with his infuriatingly magnetic presence and a connection that runs far deeper than either of them expected. As forced proximity transforms their antagonistic banter into something dangerously electric, they begin to uncover secrets about each other that suggest their battle-ready souls might be two halves of something neither has encountered before. This is a high-octane romance for readers who love enemies-to-lovers tension, fierce heroines, and the kind of chemistry that feels like a fight worth losing.
