Post on Saturdays! Chapter 7 is up! (Finally!!) Writing Chapter 8!! My greatest apologies for not posting on time!!! Ashlyn Meyer a fierce martial artist with a singular focus: mastering the MMA ring and chasing her dreams. After a victorious day of fighting, she's ready for a quiet night-until a sudden storm derails her plans. When her best friend's infuriatingly charming brother, Zade Kozlov, steps into the picture, Ashlyn finds herself questioning everything. He's her rival, her nemesis, and somehow, the key to breaking down her walls. As she navigates her fears and ambitions, Ashlyn must decide if opening her heart is worth the risk. In the ring and in life, she's about to learn that vulnerability can be her greatest strength. Zade Kozlov a powerhouse CEO, weighed down by family scandals and the relentless pressure of running Kozlov Security. With his sister Maria to protect, he's built a fortress around his heart. Then there's Ashlyn Meyer-his sister's best friend and his ultimate annoyance. Fierce and carefree, she ignites a spark of chaos that threatens to upend Zade's meticulously controlled world. As their paths collide, the tension between them simmers, challenging everything he thought he knew about trust and desire. Will Zade break down his walls for the one person who could change everything, or will his past keep him locked away forever?
