I'm in it to win it. After being mugged during a rare girls' night out, forty-five-year-old Celestia "e;Tia"e; Fuentes sees shadows in every corner. For six grueling months, the lingering paranoia has controlled her life. Realizing she can't live in fear anymore, she takes the advice of her bestie, Arushi, and signs up for a self-defense class.She expected a basic safety course. She didn't expect a hardcore boxing gym.And she definitely didn't expect thirty-three-year-old Navy SEAL Maxell McKenna. The moment Max steps out of the ring, Tia hears bells—and they have absolutely nothing to do with boxing. Maxell is on leave from his SEAL team, trying to completely veg out and pour his energy into his co-owned gym. He wants to forget the nightmares of Fallujah, his cheating ex, and the complicated reality of being back stateside. He just wants peace.Until Tia walks through his doors looking for a way to fight back. One look into her striking eyes and Max knows he'd say yes to absolutely anything she asks. She's twelve years older than him and carrying her own heavy baggage, meaning a relationship won't be easy for either of them. But Max wasn't a Navy SEAL for nothing... and he's ready to fight tooth and nail to protect her, heal with her, and claim her heart forever. For a full list of content levels, please visit the author's official website.
