Charlie Hastings makes a New Year’s resolution to regain her life while in the throes of a soul-crushing divorce. When she signs up for a personal training package, she is unprepared for the intense chemistry between herself and her hot alpha trainer. Cesar Lugo is a dominant who has given up on finding the one. He throws himself into his training, where his attraction to a new determined client who is exactly his type threatens the stability he has worked so hard for. As things heat up at the gym, both Cesar and Charlie find themselves unable to keep their hands off one another. Now they have to find out if their compatibility is as strong as their chemistry, both in the bedroom and out. Will they be able to overcome Charlie’s fear of love and her possessive husband’s interference to take their kinky play from casual into a relationship? Author's Note: Expect an emotionally intelligent alpha male, a strong female lead, allusions to spousal abuse, scenes in a kink club, light bondage, domination, submission, workplace romance, fitness, some thrilling yet reckless encounters, and of course the happy ever after in this steamy multicultural holiday romance.
