Hank Jones is about to endure the fight of his career. Preparing for this night his entire life, there's only one thing standing in his way of a knockout victory...her! Taryn Morris, the daughter of Hank's trainer, recently moved back home after graduating college. The tomboy that left town four years ago is not the same girl that has now walked back into his life. Growing up together through their adolescent years, there was never an emotion or physical connection between them. Now, years later, Hank can't seem to get Taryn out of his mind. Can Hank ignore this magnetic pull to focus on his fight or will he risk it all for the biggest fight of his life...for her?

As a child, he was told he’d never amount to anything, yet he continued to strive for more. Wanting to prove he was worth something and needing to make his parents feel pride in his accomplishments, Mike Lawdenski fought a losing battle. Now, as an adult, he’s found solace in one thing…winning the battle raging inside of his soul. Between the wires of the cage and the love coursing through his heart, he knew there was a battle to be won. One night is all it took for him to see and understand his place. He was no longer willing to obsess over something he’d never have. He made a decision that would forever change his path in life. Unsure where his future would lead, Mike removes himself from everything he’s ever known and takes a chance…a chance on someone he never saw coming. Will Mike be willing to let go of the one person who has always been his support because of the pain she’s caused? Or will he open his eyes to the possibilities of a greater love that stands in front of him?
