Protect yourself at all times.
The #1 rule of combat sports.
I broke that rule once, paid the price.
And I swore I'd never do it again.
She might force me to make an exception.

Unfinished business - the one and only reason I'm back on the mixed martial arts scene.
Her? She's inconsequential. Just a means to settle a debt long overdue.
They call her "The Spitfire". A sassy, scrappy little thing with a savage low kick. She doesn't know a thing about how to fight from her back, and she's in more danger than she realizes.
I have a promise to keep.
But I've always been a sucker for strays.
And I know better than anyone how cruel this sport can be.
I can't let it devour her... even if it means pretending my heart is still as stone cold as my last beer.

I swore I would never let anyone underestimate me.
Never let them submit me.
But when he enters the gym - dark, brooding, and out-of-place - my stomach buckles.
He rips me to shreds. Tears me down, one weakness at a time, and only stops when he's one breath short of tapping me out of MMA for good.
I will never forgive him for breaking me.
Not even when he builds me back up - to be stronger, better, faster.
Not even if his absence makes me feel like I'm being choked out from the inside.
Broody heroes. Feisty heroines. Love worth fighting for.
Fighting for Redemption is a standalone contemporary sports romance, and the first in the City Limits MMA series.
