With her career in jeopardy, desperate ballerina Cassie accepts a job teaching up-and-coming boxer Daniel Knight the art of ballet, only to find herself fighting temptation at every turn - including with Daniel's fiercest rival, Xander Kane. Season 1 of Knockout *** Cassandra Rose's perfect life is in ruins. Homeless and with piling medical costs, she turns to the last person she'd want help from - her estranged father and former boxer, Frank Rose. His help will come at a cost, though: training his hard-hitting but slow-footed protégé Daniel Knight ballet to give him an edge in his upcoming rematch against Xander Kane, his biggest competitor. Daniel isn't the only person feuding with Xander; as the son of the fighter who destroyed Frank's career, there's more than a little bad blood between them. Xander should be completely off limits, but resisting his magnetic pull quickly becomes Cassie's hardest challenge yet. And of course, there's the charming, seductive Daniel... Can Cassie navigate the ruthless world of boxing and rebuild her shattered life and career? Or will her attraction to two different men be too tempting to stay on course? One way or another, there can be only one winner in the ring, and only one winner for Cassie's heart. *** Everything, from the tips of my toes to my fingertips, sizzles with want. Not just desire, though I have never looked at this man and not wanted to rip his clothes off and trace those tattoos with my tongue. It's something else too, something softer, but something that burns just as bright.

Sure, she was plain and dull, but she was the sort one could settle down with in a few years after the sowing of the wild oats was completed. . .if one could get past how plain and ordinary she was that is. In truth, Lady Lavinia Antrucha was nothing compared to her sister, Cassandra. She had neither beauty nor social notoriety. . .but at least she didn't leave a trail of broken hearts behind her. She's the one people go to when they're in trouble and don't know what to do, the one who is supposed to be the stronger of the two Antrucha girls, the one her parents expect will stay with them for the rest of their lives, because what man would want to marry plain, little Lavinia? The most sought after bachelor in all of Scotland, the life of any given party, that's what they named Laird Ethan Brodi. He was the toast of high society and the man every mother yearned to see on their doorstep, asking to see their fine daughter. He knew there was something more to life than petty women who couldn't see past his fine physique, and he intended to find it; that is, until his father decided he had spent enough time unmarried and forged an alliance with the rich Antruchas by promising him in marriage to the eldest daughter who would certainly match Ethan in good looks and fine tastes. As far as Ethan was concerned, Lady Cassandra Antrucha could take a long walk off a short pier, but his father's word was law, and so to England he must go to meet his future bride. Can he go through with a marriage when his heart yearns for another? #Wattys2016

"You are mine!" He roars. "I will do whatever it takes to make you know that. Whether it means I lock you up in a prison and throw away the key." Footsteps come rushing into the dining room, and I turn to see multiple men--guards I suppose, flanking one another. Each of their hands rest on things within their jackets. Which i can only guess are guns. What else would they be? He waves them off and stalks towards me, standing behind my chair. I try to turn my head to look behind me, at him, but his hands move to the sides of my face, stopping me. "I can give you the world Mia. I am no fool. I know that love takes time, and I will give you as much as it takes. But you are mine." He says so calmly. -------------------------- When Mia Jones, a College student from Australia with a mysterious past is offered the opportunity to work as a translator for a man she had never heard of in New York City, she had assumed it would be a normal job, little did she know it would be the end of her freedom.
