Ripley has dealt with plenty of jerks in the past. So when she meets her new coach, who refuses to work with her, she knows she’ll have a fight on her hands… in more ways than one. Even if he is the sexiest man she’s ever seen, she won’t let anyone treat her less than the fighter she is. But is there more to Ezra Cowen than meets the eye? Ezra moved to Palm Meadows to escape the ghosts of his past. Now he works all day for his uncle and goes home every night to an empty apartment. But when he meets his new neighbor, he feels a spark between the two of them… at least until he finds out who she is. She’s mouthy and doesn’t take no for an answer, which may be just what he needs. Can two people who thought they’d never find happiness find it with each other? Despite their rocky start, can they learn that love is worth fighting for?
