Jaxon Garner is champion boxer. Boxing is his life. His manager, who is also his father, isn't quite cutting it anymore. He's not the kind of manager he needs to step up his game. He needs a professional. Through his dad's connections, he finds one of the best managers in the country, Kyle Stevens. Jaxon sees something he likes in Kyle's twenty-three year old daughter, Kassidi. Kassidi thinks that boxing is ridiculous and doesn't want to take any part in it. Using the smooth talk he learned from his older brother and his natural charisma, he tries to win over Kassidi's heart. Will Kassidi come between him and boxing or will boxing come between him and Kassidi? Not only that, but Kyle doesn't approve of Jaxon's growing relationship with his daughter. He doesn't think Kassidi should get wrapped up in the boxing world. He's tried his entire life to keep her as far away from it as possible. Which will mean more to Jaxon? Boxing? Kassidi? Or what Kassidi's father thinks?

Path To Restoration (Fighter's Den, #3)
*Warning: LABELLED MATURE. Due to sexual content and graphic language, this book is recommended for readers 17+ in age* *CANNOT be read without reading prior novels in series* Nate Hunter; aspiring boxer, brother to five younger sisters, and...stripper. Yeah, you read that right. After his twin sister went through an abusive relationship, Nate fought to restore her honour by starting a chain of nightclubs that hire and help victimized women get back on their feet. It didn't take long for the stripper industry to deem him a knight in shining armour that beckoned damsels in distress. The damsel in his life? A fierce yet gentle woman who doesn't want his help and is more warrior than damsel. She's determined to keep Nate at arms length and ignore the ridiculously hot chemistry that fizzles between them. Now it's up to Nate to convince the woman of his dreams that fairytales still exist and that he wants nothing more than to be her prince. After all, he knows a thing to or two about putting up a fight. Delilah Stevens; aspiring author, voluntary loner, and...pregnant. Yeah, you read that right. Life has been unstable for Delilah since her father walked out on her when she was six years old. It shouldn't be a surprise that the father of her unborn child walked out on her too. The already shy and reserved girl retreats further into her shell until she is convinced that the real world is nothing like the books she reads and writes. Or is it? Delilah is forced to rethink everything she's ever known about finding "the one" when she is suddenly face-to-face with a man straight out of a romance novel who wants her - bad - and resisting his kind eyes and killer grin is no walk in the park. The question of the hour is whether or not the determined boxer will be another villain in her story or the hero that finally gives her a happily ever after.
