This book has been completely updated as of April 13, 2022. It's edited, then edited some more, and now here we are! Does that mean the book is perfect? Probably far from it, lol. So if you ever see anything that could use a suggestion, please feel free to let me know!

Right now, my focus is to finish this book before editing further.

You do not have to like MMA or sports to enjoy the story, as it's all about Julie Steves and Joey Ryder, with the setting happening to be at an MMA gym. It's more about the energy and the dedication to train (and the strength that comes from that) thats important. It's also a great excuse to pair these two near each other 😉

If you like a brooding/crass guy, who also loves fiercely once those walls are down, then here's your place!

Julie—our leading lady—is also a pretty normal chick with flaws, strength, and determination, but is also lost on where her hopes and dreams are. We all get in a rut, right? Poor Jules is there too, and Ryder showing up doesn't help at all! 😆😏

⚠️WARNING: ⚠️
This story contains lots of mature material. There is a lot of crass language (c'mon, it's a bunch of MMA fighters!), a few nerve wracking scenes involving physical threats (that never go too far! That's not the point of the book) and then finally, quite a few erotic scenes, with steam gently rolling off of them. This book is Rated M.

HOW TO SUPPORT: Please make sure to tap furiously at that star ⭐⭐⭐ like you're Ryder punching a bag. Also, I love comments. I love to see what people are thinking, so drop them lines through the story! You can also add this book to a reading list, as that always helps!
