Below The Belt [Story Preview]

What will happen when the younger sister of the fighting world's leading underdog, Nico Chavez, lands a coveted PR internship for celebrity clients? For the past few years, Celeste Chavez has been living in her older brother's shadow as he's risen to fame as a top fighter.

Celeste can't wait to embark on her own professional life when she lands the PR internship of her dreams. But when Celeste learns that her client is none other than Ethan Grable, her brother's biggest opponent and the reigning King in the Ring, she'll be forced to choose between family ties and career aspirations.

Ethan Grable isn't like most of his opponents. He didn't start by fighting in the streets. Ethan is the son of a former professional athlete and has lived a life of privilege...not to mention an insurmountable pressure to succeed. His spoiled-rotten, party boy reputation is his outlet, and he has no problem playing into it.

When Ethan finds out that his summer PR intern is a gorgeous young woman, he has zero complaints. But when he finds out that Celeste is actually Nico Chavez's younger sister, he has a choice to make. And knowing Ethan, it's not going to be the honorable one.

Will Celeste choose family loyalty over professional opportunity? And will Ethan choose honesty over playing with fire?
