"Intense and emotional! SHADOWBOXER is a knockout punch to the heart." Skye Warren, New York Times bestselling author
I’m in for the fight of my life...with the man who only wants to be my lover.I’ve faced the darkest parts of life and survived. But now I’m starting a new life with my baby sister. And that means I need cash.
Quick.
To get the money I need, I’m going to beat the reigning king of the male fighters in New York’s underground MMA circuit, Tray “Fox” Knox.
Tray refuses to fight a woman, until he learns I’m not what he expected. At all.
Then he makes me a bet I can’t refuse. He’ll fight me, but if he wins, I will spend the night in his bed.
All night long, his rules. No tapping out.
I agree, certain he will lose. Because I have to win. I have no choice.
What I didn’t realize is that Tray loves to fight dirty…and that this match may end up being the most important one of our lives.
