Book Description:
It didn’t matter that the ref called it a clean hit. Nico Hunter would never be the same.
Elle has a good life. A job she loves, a great apartment, and the guy she’s been dating for more than two years is a catch and a half. But it’s boring…and she strives to keep it that way. Too many emotions are dangerous. Her own past is living proof of what can happen when you lose control.
Then Nico walks into Elle’s office and everything changes…for both of them. But what can the tattooed, hard-bodied MMA fighter and the beautiful and always steady attorney have in common? A lot more than they bargained for.

Excerpt
***
Elle on Nico
I’ve never seen a body like his so
close before. It just doesn’t seem
real. Both of his arms are covered in
tattoos, it looks like he’s wearing colorful sleeves, only he has no shirt
on. They intertwine and wrap around his
bulging biceps and I get the urge to trace a path from the first splat of ink
to the last with my tongue. My body’s
reaction to him is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. These aren’t feelings that I’m used to, they
seem to come out of nowhere and are uncontrollable.
One side of his lip curls up
slightly, as though he is amused at my staring.
He hands me a glass of wine without asking if I want one and I take it
because I need it to calm my nerves. I’m
here staring at this bigger than life man, and suddenly I’m speechless. The wine can’t seep into my bloodstream quick
enough. Half the glass is gone in one
long, unladylike gulp.
“Thirsty?” I look up at him and find a glimmer of
amusement in Nico’s eyes, mixed with something else. I think he knows I’m trying to calm myself
and I fidget in my seat on the couch as he stands there looking so unaffected.
