The Fighting Series

MMA Fighter, Secret Baby

Liz

I’m an eighteen-year-old high school graduate who has just experienced my first… well, everything.

I would give anything to hold on to Cooper, but we made a decision.

After thirty hours of falling in lust, we’re parting ways.

I’m starting college and can’t be distracted.

Besides, he has his own life to get back to.

Cooper

The moment I saw her I knew she was the one, but what my heart wants it doesn’t get.

I know how life works. I’ve been fighting most of my life.

My dad was a fighter, and so was his dad.

I watched my mom cheat on him, and in return, he destroyed her.

I will never do that to a woman.

I get thirty hours with Liz and then we’re both walking away.

At the end of the day, all we’ll have are the memories we have created here in Miami.

Five years later, Liz runs into Cooper, only he has no idea that memories weren’t the only thing they created in Miami. He broke her heart once the day he left and now she’s guarded. Will he succeed in winning her heart over a second time? The only thing he knows for sure is that he’s fighting for a second chance, and this time, he won’t let her go that easily.

MMA Fighter, Secret pregnancy

Bentley

Growing up, my parents were the embodiment of love.
The perfect example of soulmates, and with that ideal, I couldn’t wait to find my true love.
What I didn’t realize was just because you love someone, it doesn’t mean they’re capable of loving you back. 

The day I met her, my entire world shifted on its axis and I knew she was the one.
The problem was, how do you convince someone they’re your soulmate when they don’t even believe in love?
There was a time I believed that love truly conquered all, but now I’m losing Faith.

Kayla

My mom once said, “Love isn’t concrete. It’s an emotion, and emotions are abstract. They change. You don’t make decisions based on something abstract because if you do, you’re setting yourself up for failure.”
I didn’t understand her words at the time. I was young and in love, and if you had asked me to define what I was feeling, it would’ve consisted of words such as affection, warmth, happiness, butterflies, happily ever after.
Now, after experiencing heartbreak firsthand, my definition of love is a bit different. It consists of words like messy, heartbreak, waste of time, unrealistic, fake.
Until I met him. He reminded me of all the words love felt like before my heart was broken.
He wanted to show me the beauty in the abstract, but all I could see was the concrete.

MMA Fighter, roommates to lovers

Caleb

As a teenager, I learned firsthand how untrustworthy and cruel a woman could be.

She destroyed me from the inside out and took everything from me.

The first chance I got, I ran and have been running from my past ever since.

Until I met Hayley.

She’s a complete game changer.

She’s everything I never thought a woman could be.

She’s honest and sincere and completely selfless, and by some miracle, she’s fighting for me.

I’m learning, if I want to keep her, I’m going to need to find the courage to fight for us.

Friends to Lovers, Single Mom

Kaden

I fell in love once and it was amazing. Until it wasn’t.

I swore to protect her. Until I didn’t.

I swore to love her forever. Until forever came too soon.

After I lost her, I swore I would never fall in love again. Until I met Ashley.

Ashley

I depended on a man once. Until he walked out.

I gave him everything. Until he left me and our son with nothing.

From then on, I knew the only person I could depend on was myself. Until I met Kaden.

I’m not sure when or how it happened, but Kaden has embedded himself into my life, stealing my heart.

Sounds like a good thing, right? Wrong.

Because while Kaden has my heart locked and secure, his heart was given to a woman who can’t give it back.

Now I am fighting for his love, hoping he can leave his past behind him and find a future with me.

I planned to. But then catastrophe struck, making us part ways without a word.
She left for Boston with her fiancé, while I left for L.A. with my band–Raging Chaos.
For the next five years, I lived and breathed music, trying to forget the beautiful girl who shattered my heart without even knowing it.

spousal abuse/rape

second chance, hate to lovers, rock star romance

Braxton

Our senior year, I promised my girl forever.
Forever, as it turned out, wasn’t enough. She told me so in her actions. When she took a match to my life, burning it to ash.

This was where our story was supposed to end.
Only six years later, our lives collide again.

When my boyfriend proposes, I say yes, desperate for an easy fix. For a super-glue solution.
But, on the day of my wedding, when my dad tells me to follow my heart, it doesn’t lead me down the aisle.
Instead, it takes me straight to Declan Pierce’s car—where I crash his road trip.
The more time we spend together, the more he shows me it’s okay to be broken.
With him, lyrics aren’t just words on paper.
Promises aren’t just whispers in the dark.
And having a few cracks…well, they help the light come through.

Until she jumps into my car in her wedding gown and tells me to floor it.

She needs to find the beauty in the cracks.

Second Chance, secret baby, rock star romance

Gage 

I lost my first love. This time, I’m going to win the second girl who owns my heart—no matter the stakes. 

Being the drummer for Raging Chaos is the only thing that’s kept me going for the past six years. Even the music isn’t enough to drown out the guilt that’s been suffocating me since what happened to Tori.

When Sadie storms into my life, ripping through my trepidations, sorrows, and bitterness, I can’t help but wonder if she could be my second chance.

I could love her, but in order to do that, I have to stop hating myself first. 

Easier said than done. Before I have the chance to mend this broken heart, I push Sadie away and hit rock bottom. 

The next time I see her, she has a baby. And if that’s not hurtful enough, it’s not just any baby.

It’s my baby. 

Sadie 

Bleeding hearts can still beat. I’m living proof of that. 

At first, Gage was just someone to take away the pain—until I realized he was battling demons of his own. 

I never meant to get too close to the devil with the drumsticks, but once I did, he shoved me out of his life with a force. 

My heart might be cracked, but his is completely broken. And trying to save him would destroy us both. 

So, I do the right thing and I walk away—not only to protect me but also our unborn baby.

I had no idea who Gage was to the world when I slipped into his bed. Now that I’m out of it, it’s clear he’ll have to clean up his act before he’s father material.

But then we meet again, and I’m reminded of the man he could be. 

The man he was born to be, before tragedy struck and the chaos left his heart barely beating.

Slacker.

Gay.

But I’m only getting started.

I’m about to make Dad really proud with my newest life choices…

I fall for my best friend, Mia, who’s a freaking chick.

I’m dying to make out with my enemy, dude bro Brayden.

And best of all, I want to bone my new roomie, Drew, who happens to also be the school’s new hockey coach.

Senior year’s great.

I’m still the world’s worst human.

I’ve made all the wrong decisions, and when Dad gets wind of my newest mess, he might actually disown me this time.

But I can’t stop.

In typical Ashton Carter fashion, I wreck my life in the worst possible way.

It isn’t until it’s all torn apart, I realize I have a problem.

Me.

Anyone got any tape? 

I may be self-destructive and have sucked them into my mess, destroying everyone’s lives in the process, but I’m sure I can fix it. 

It’s gonna take focus and determination, both of which I’m sorely lacking. 

I’m a spoiled boy who’s used to getting what I want. 

In this case, I want them. All of them. 

And I sure as hell won’t stop until I succeed.

Not until we’re bound together by…

Me.

I’m about to make Dad really proud with my newest life choices…

I fall for my best friend, Mia, who’s a freaking chick.

I’m dying to make out with my enemy, dude bro Brayden.

And best of all, I want to bone my new roomie, Drew, who happens to also be the school’s new hockey coach.

I’m the world’s worst human.

I’ve made all the wrong decisions, and when Dad gets wind of my newest mess, he might actually disown me this time.

But I can’t stop.

I don’t want to stop.

I’m a spoiled boy who’s used to getting what I want.

In this case, I want them. All of them.

And I sure as hell won’t stop until I succeed.

romantic suspense

Aria

Giovanni is my savior… But he wants me for himself.
I’ve grown used to men wanting me and taking what’s not theirs to take.

But his life is trapped in a cage, and his family holds the keys. If forced to choose, we could lose it all.
The danger doesn’t scare me half as much as the thought of living without him.

I didn’t choose this life. It chose me.
Born into a powerful mob family, darkness and danger are all I’ve ever known.
But when I stumble upon Aria being held captive in the basement of a senator’s house, everything I’ve embraced and accepted about my life gets thrown out the window.

I’m drawn to her strength, to her lightness, to her beauty in my dark world.
But she deserves better than trading one cage for another.

As a little girl, I dreamed of finding my own Prince Charming—just like in the story my mom used to read to me.

But as a woman who grew up living a life that was anything but a fairy tale, I never expected it to happen to me, and certainly not in the bordello I worked at in Las Vegas. 

When our eyes locked, I knew, in another life, Liam could easily be my Prince Charming, but in my world, those kind of men didn’t exist.

He was determined to prove me wrong, though, and in one weekend, he not only showed me the world in a different light, but made me feel like a princess—before he disappeared without a trace.

After he walked away, I was determined to write my own happy ending—turns out the first chapter was becoming a single mom. Because that handsome prince… He left me the most exquisite crown jewel, who’s now my entire world. 

And while I might’ve given up on finding my Prince Charming, I’ll make sure my daughter has the fairy-tale life I never did.

Blakely

I met Keegan when I was on the beach in Florida.

We both had one thing in common: we were here to escape our realities.

One week. Just the two of us. Not a care in the world.

I didn’t know it at the time, but that week would forever change my life.

Four years later, and as fate would have it, Keegan and I are brought together again.

It’s as if the universe is telling us this is our second chance.

I’ll be damned if I’m fooled again.

friends to lovers

Sierra 

Since the moment Kolton walked into The Orange Sunrise I’ve felt the connection between us. 

Like fireworks waiting to be set off on the Fourth of July, they’ll all shoot off with one spark, beautiful and dazzling, and explode in the sky. 

But what happens once they burn out? When the colors fade into ash, and we’re left with only the aftermath? 

Every word that leaves his mouth is more tempting than the last. He won’t take no for an answer, but I can’t say yes when there’s a chance he’ll break my heart.

Even though I have no doubt the fireworks would be worth chasing, knowing the destruction they’ll leave behind means I can’t risk it. 

Getting hurt would be inevitable… but so is falling for him.

Kolton 

I know Sierra wants me. Even when she tries like hell to hide it. But I’m not shy about the fact that I’m more interested in what’s brewing between us than the drinks she’s serving.

Something about her has me drawn to her, has me wanting to reach inside and find out everything there is to know about her.

So, I’ll keep asking. Waiting for the day she finally gives me a chance. 

Because when she says yes—and she will—I’m going to prove to her that this thing between us is more than a spark. 

It’s a slow burning flame that will only ignite brighter over time.
