"Eli! Seriously this is ridiculous let me down!" I yell as I pound furiously on his back.
"Not a chance. And don't ever wear something like that to a fight again."
"It's just a tank top calm down. Can you please let me down? Your butt is in my face."
"All the better for the view. Every pig in there was undressing you with their eyes."
"Oh why do you even care?" Suddenly my upside down world got flipped and pinned between the wall and his body.
"Because I'm the only one that should get to think of you like that." His piercing grey eyes were on fire as he held his face just above mine.
"Did you drink before your fight? Because there is no way you mean what you just implied. " His tongue flickered across his lips as he smirked.
"For once in your life stop fighting and just enjoy this."
"Enjoy wha-"
His lips crashed onto mine. Hungry, alive, full of passion I had only seen him use in the ring. I didn't want to fight him, fight this, fight his kiss. And he was right, for once in my life, I didn't.

A Fighter is not born. A fighter is not raised. A fighter is made; only if the fight choses you, and you survive. Dakota Matthias has earned the right to be called a fighter.
Her greatest opponent is perhaps the only man in her corner. But fighters are always competitive with each other, on every level. And Eli may just be the fire she needs to win her biggest fight, and give into his.
Fight for your Family. Fight for Love. Fight for Yourself.

The Fighter and His Tiger (Unexpected Love #1)

Despite problems of his own, he becomes the most likely to be able to save her. And she was the last anyone expected to actually want to save him. But she did. She wanted him. He wanted her. But fate didn't want them together. Now, they must navigate an overprotective best friend, a homicidal father, a psychotic brother, and a hilariously crazy grandma. But, will Rei ever get her happy ending? - - - "Boxer Boy, you don't really have a choice in the matter, you either help me or I squeal about your very illegal activities," I obviously wasn't gonna tell but he didn't know that so I silently prayed he wouldn't call my bluff. He leaned down so he was eye level with me, he smelt like apples too. "Why do you wanna learn how to fight tigru?" I tried my hardest not to let my gaze flicker down to his bare chest, but it was right there and very distracting. He cleared his throat making me shoot my gaze back to him as I hoped my voice didn't come out shaky, "that's my business, just like the reason you fight is yours." His jaw sharpened as he straightened and seemed to contemplate what his next move would be. I took the time to declutter my thoughts and focus on what I needed from him; fighting lessons, the opportunity to save myself one final time. - - - "I love the book overall. It kept me on the edge of my seat and it was full of emotion! I can't wait for the sequel to come out! This book had something for everyone and anyone; if you enjoy reading, you'll enjoy this book!" - Mackenzie "I read a lot and this is one of the best books I've read.

The Nerd Goes By Queen Karma
Duck I drop down. The smell of sweat and alcohol fill my nostrils. I feel the air swish above my head as his fist flies over my head. Crack That's the sound his kneecap makes when I slam my sneaker-covered foot into it. His scream It makes me feel alive knowing I caused it. The pure bliss his agony gives me. I jump up straight and smirk, saying my signature sentence. "I bet you regret thinking I was weak!" His face looks alarmed when I say that phrase. As it should. Everyone knows I say that when I'm about to end a fight. Blood That's what gushes down his sweaty face when I jam my fist into his big nose. I watch and sigh in content as I see his boring brown eyes roll back and gravity take over. RING I won. The screams echo around me. Everyone cheering one thing. "Queen Karma!" I'll always win. ******************************************** Olive - the badass girl in every single way. She's a streetfighter that's undefeated.

I am Isabel (published)✔️
Meet Isabel. She gets along with most people, not super popular but she's not a wallflower either. Isabel doesn't need anyone else in her life not to protect her and certainly not Derek and his crew. She lives with her brother and father . They share a secret that could land them in jail. She can fight almost anyone and win, this girl kicks a$$. Yet Isabel has a past that features in her nightmares, making her afraid to sleep alone. --- "Hey?" I heard but didn't reply. "Hey!" I still didn't reply. A hand grabbed my arm and I twisted out of it on instinct. There was a glimmer of surprise in his eyes as I faced the last of the Five in the now almost empty hallway. Derek. Almost as tall as Mac. Black hair like the twins with ice cold blueish grey eyes. Same fighters build, six pack and all but not as soft as Mac or as feminine as the twins beauty. He was more rugged. I did understand the appeal of these boys but there were a lot of good looking guys on the swim team too and I did go with Jarred when he had fights. "You know we wouldn't let anyone hurt you right? Even if Jarred isn't around, we'll be here to protect you." I blinked. I blinked again. Nope, he was still standing there with the same serious expression. Derek, the unofficial leader of the Five, the boy every guy would want to be friends with and every girl would love to sleep with, was offering me his protection. I did the only thing that made sense in that situation. I burst out laughing. I was laughing so hard that I doubled over and when I glanced up at him I just cracked up again. He stood through it all without any emotion on his face, there was barely a glimmer of anger in his eyes. If anything I might have seen some surprise. I patted him on the arm and winked. "You. Are. Funny! I don't need you idiots to look out for me. But thanks for the thought." With that I quickly made my way to class.Complete
It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her.

I looked in her beautiful and soft green eyes, which seemed to drown me in them. Her oh-so gentle and fragile figure urged me to take her in my arms. I was snapped out of my trance when she again said. "Hello, Sir? Are you okay?" She asked. It caused a smile to crawl up on my lips. "Y-yeah, I-I'm fine." I mentally cursed myself for stuttering. "So, what would you like?" She asked, and "You" slipped from my mouth immediately. That moment I was silently praying that the earth would open and swallow me. Her eyes widened for a moment then a hard expression mustered on her face. It was looking really stunning on her. "Excuse me?" She said a bit rudely. "You are excused," I said, without thinking and gave her a smirk. She blinked a few times then gave me a rather hard look. "Do you even want to buy anything? If not then get out." She said angrily, which made her look more beautiful. God, what is happening to me? Can a person even fall in love with someone at first sight? This deeply?
