Discipline Is All It Takes
Axel's journey begins under the oppressive mentorship of Sensei Wolf, a strict and unrelenting martial arts master who pushes his students to their limits. For Axel, however, training often goes beyond tough love. Sensei Wolf's harsh punishments, cutting words, and unreasonable expectations wear Axel down both physically and emotionally. Late nights caring for his younger brother and balancing schoolwork often result in tardiness to the dojo-punishments for which are severe and humiliating. Though Axel remains committed to martial arts, his sensei's relentless abuse leaves him questioning his own worth and abilities. Amidst this turmoil, Axel's path leads him to the prestigious Sekai Taikai, a world martial arts tournament that promises glory and redemption. For Axel, it's more than just a competition-it's a chance to escape his sensei's shadow and prove to himself that he's more than Wolf's constant criticisms. It's at the Sekai Taikai that Axel meets Evelyn, a fierce and independent competitor representing her own dojo. Evelyn's confidence and skill catch Axel's attention immediately, but it's her kindness and unwavering belief in him that spark a deeper connection. Where Sensei Wolf tears Axel down, Evelyn builds him up, showing him the power of encouragement and self-respect. As the tournament progresses, Axel and Evelyn grow closer, bonding over their shared love for martial arts and their personal struggles.

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.
