Summary: Standalone, HEA
It didn’t matter that the ref
called it a clean hit. Nico Hunter would
never be the same.
Elle has a good life. A job she loves, a great apartment, and the
guy she’s been dating for more than two years is a catch and a half. But it’s boring…and she strives to keep it
that way. Too many emotions are
dangerous. Her own past is living proof
of what can happen when you lose control.
Then Nico walks into Elle’s
office and everything changes…for both of them.
But what can the tattooed, hard-bodied MMA fighter and the beautiful and
always steady attorney have in common? A
lot more than they bargained for.

Excerpts
Meet Elle & Nico
Elle on Nico
I’ve never seen a body like his so
close before. It just doesn’t seem
real. Both of his arms are covered in
tattoos, it looks like he’s wearing colorful sleeves, only he has no shirt
on. They intertwine and wrap around his
bulging biceps and I get the urge to trace a path from the first splat of ink
to the last with my tongue. My body’s
reaction to him is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. These aren’t feelings that I’m used to, they
seem to come out of nowhere and are uncontrollable.
One side of his lip curls up
slightly, as though he is amused at my staring.
He hands me a glass of wine without asking if I want one and I take it
because I need it to calm my nerves. I’m
here staring at this bigger than life man, and suddenly I’m speechless. The wine can’t seep into my bloodstream quick
enough. Half the glass is gone in one
long, unladylike gulp.
“Thirsty?” I look up at him and find a glimmer of
amusement in Nico’s eyes, mixed with something else. I think he knows I’m trying to calm myself
and I fidget in my seat on the couch as he stands there looking so unaffected.
Nico on Elle
I’m up at five a.m. every
morning. Well, every morning except
today. I slept like shit, my body a mass
of pent-up frustration. I kept my word
all night. Even though all I wanted to
do was pick her up, carry her into my bedroom, and ram myself into her to claim
her as mine. Then she kissed me. I know I could have taken it further after
that kiss. But I don’t want one night
with Elle. I want more. I have no idea why, but I do. A lot fucking more.
By the time I drove back home last
night, I’d gotten myself under control.
I’d reasoned with my hard-on until it finally saw my way. Who knew you could reason with a fucking
hard-on. I guess I never tried. I just
took care of it, did what it wanted me to.
But then I walked into my loft and I
smelled her. And all reasoning went out
the window. I couldn’t sleep with a
steel pipe in my pants, so I took a cold shower. It didn’t help. Then I was wide awake with a hard-on. I tossed and turned with a picture of Elle
smiling at me in my head. Taunting me
for being such a sap.
