In the ring, 'tap tap' signals the end. Mara Hart has never been good at quitting. By day, Mara is the executive people lean on when everything’s on fire. By night, she’s swearing at her furniture with the apartment door wide open, which is how her neighbor finds her mid-meltdown. Raiden is an ex-fighter, a coach, and a human warning label in hand wraps and scars. He doesn’t tell her to calm down. He invites her to his gym and tells her to hit something that hits back. What starts as stress relief turns into late nights at Iron Will, careful consent, and a slow, burning pull neither can ignore. Mara has a past she won’t name. Raiden has shadows he doesn’t talk about. When a too-slick deal at her company stops adding up, the pressure follows them off the mats and into the rest of their lives. In this world, you don’t just walk away. You tap, or you break. Tap Tap is a dark, spicy romance with a loud-mouthed heroine, a “touch her and die” ex-fighter, trauma-aware intimacy, gym-found family, and an HEA.
