By Katie McGarry
Publication date: May 27, 2014
I am loving this story so much so far! It has been so hard to put down! I didn't know what to expect with the whole kickboxing aspect, and I must say I am pleasantly surprised by this touching story that Katie has created.
Teaser from eARC 40%:
"Regardless of how much I tell myself I don't care what he thinks of me, I do. I'll never hear him say he wants me or that he's proud of me, yet whenever he opens his mouth, I hope for the words."
Book Synopsis:
Acclaimed author Katie McGarry returns with the knockout new story of two high school seniors who are about to learn what winning really means.
Champion kickboxer Haley swore she'd never set foot in the ring again after one tragic night. But then the guy she can't stop thinking about accepts a mixed martial arts fight in her honor. Suddenly, Haley has to train West Young. All attitude, West is everything Haley promised herself she'd stay away from. Yet he won't last five seconds in the ring without her help.
West is keeping a big secret from Haley. About who he really is. But helping her-fighting for her-is a shot at redemption. Especially since it's his fault his family is falling apart. He can't change the past, but maybe he can change Haley's future.
Hayley and West have agreed to keep their relationship strictly in the ring. But as an unexpected bond forms between them and attraction mocks their best intentions, they'll face their darkest fears and discover love is worth fighting for.
