Title: Fighter's Heart
Lena
MMA superstar Jase ‘The Wrangler’ Rawlins is mouthy, conceited, and hot as f*ck.
Two weeks out from a championship fight, he’s landed himself in P.R. hell.
And now? He’s my problem.
My boss wants me to fix his image and make sure he isn’t arrested before he steps foot in the cage.
But there are only so many miracles a girl can work, and I can’t help someone who won’t let me in.
Jase
Lena LaFontaine is a walking fantasy.
All buttoned-up blouses and ass-hugging skirts with passion simmering beneath.
I want her—for more than making me look good.
The problem? She thinks I’m guilty of a violent crime.
And if mixing it in the ring has taught me one thing, it’s that trusting your team is everything.
If Lena can’t back me 100%, then she and her pouty lips are off limits.
Fighter's Heart is a standalone MMA romance with a cocky alpha hero and a sassy heroine who knows how to keep big egos in check. It has a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.
--Abigail's Targeted Tip:
Be aware of possible redundancies in two person POV blurbs. How can you present a common goal in two unique ways?
