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.

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.

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.
