If you love strong and sexy MMA fighters then this book is definitely for you.** Fighting for someone’s heart is more challenging than fighting for a title. For a time, many years ago, love had grown, love was made, and in the end … love was lost. The decision to leave had been the worst mistake Shelby Dawson could have ever made. However, at the time—ten years ago—she felt her secret needed to stay hidden, even if it broke her heart and the heart of the man she loved. Back then, he was all hers and she was all his, but now things have changed and he isn’t the same guy she knew. He happens to be the well-known MMA Heavyweight champion and famous bad boy, Matt ‘The Destroyer’ Reynolds, who once before struggled to help his family pay the bills. Now, he has money flowing with each undefeated win and an insurmountable number of women filling his bed. Everything is perfect for the illustrious fighter, until one day it all changes. In walks the girl from his past, the same girl who promised to stick by him but left and never looked back. Their second chance to make things right will not come easy, for when one mistake is made an unwelcome consequence soon follows. Someone out there wants to rip them apart and they won’t stop until Matt and Shelby pay the ultimate price … their love. ** Make sure to check out the other novels in the Second Chances series: Love's Second Chance Trusting You Meant for Me Fighting for Love Intercepting Love Catching Summer Defending Hayden Last Chance Intended for Bristol This book will resonate with people looking to read: romantic suspense, betrayal, dangerous love, hidden secrets, first love, tear jerker romance, heartbreak, finding love again, second chance romance, MMA fighters, MMA fighter romance, underground fighting, underground fighting ring, mystery, football players, athlete romance, small-town romance, feel-good romance, contemporary romance, romantic comedy, series, romantic comedy series, racy, sexy, heartwarming, heart-warming romance, family, love, love books, kissing books, emotional journey, contemporary, contemporary romance, sassy, captivating romance, hot, hot romance, forbidden love, sparks, loyalty, swoon, beach romance, books for summer, books for the beach, beach series, love in bloom, wicked, dirty, fierce, alpha heroes, funny romance, laugh romance, modern romance, smart romance, something funny to read, billionaire, billionaire romance, love story, millionaire, wealthy heroes, happily ever after, happy ending, lighthearted romance, light romance, hot romance, romance for adults, funny romance, funny romance new, long series, romance series, second chances series, swoonworthy, romance series, romance series, romance books, beach reads, new adult, small-town, funny, female, stories, sensual, sensual romance, alpha male, dominant male, hot guy, fun summer reads, love and friendship, new romance series, hot romance series, new small-town series, new beach read, friend romance, friends to lovers, contemporary crush, love story, romance love, new adult romance, billionaire romance, contemporary romance and sex, romance billionaire series, friendship, enemies to lovers.
