Recent college grad, with curves and sass for days, and an over-protective older brother. I'm a boxer. Undefeated. Boxing is the only thing I know and the only thing I thought I'd ever have to my name. The moment Beth comes back to town, I realized the feelings that started during our fling last summer are still raging in me. We'd agreed it was a summer fling and nothing more. Even then, I knew Beth was special, but I tried to ignore how I felt. Her sweet curves have filled my dreams for months. Now, I want more. I want forever with her. Seeing her again makes me realize I can't ignore my feelings anymore. There's a reason I couldn't forget her. Beth is working to make her way in the world.

Winning her heart will be the toughest fight of my life, but Beth is worth fighting for. I'll take on her brother and anyone else, because I'm not stopping until I win her heart.

One protective boxer who teaches self-defense + One curvy woman who needs protecting + An explosive altercation with her ex = A love they'll both fight for When Shelly appears at the gym, she's terrified. It's my job to teach her how to defend herself, but I don't expect her to last the full session. Watching her full curves as she learns to box is a distraction that would get me knocked out in the ring. During our second session, I manage to break through her walls. It's a rush of hope and expectation when she agrees to go to the county fair with me, to see her favorite band play. I don't know much about music, but I want to know as much as possible about her, so I'd do anything just to spend time with her. I want to be the man she leans on and who will protect her at all costs. When her abusive ex shows up and tries to take her from me, it does not end well for him. The fragile connection Shelly and I share is put to the test, and I know I only have one shot at winning her heart. I know more than anything in the world that I need Shelly in my life on a permanent basis. Laying my heart on the line for her scares me, but I can't back down. Shelly is a knockout and I'm going to fight to win her love. Knockout is part of the Heartland Heroes series.
