Fight for It by Jessie Harper

How hard would you fight for a second chance at love?

Julia Andrews isn’t looking for a fairy tale. She’s had that and more: the white picket fence, the prince charming, the happily ever after—until she finds herself widowed and living down the street from her parents. Focused on building a new life for herself and her two young sons, romance is the last thing on her mind—no matter what her friends and family might want.
Zach Winston would rather take a punch to the face than open himself back up to heartache. At least that’s what the mixed martial arts teacher’s been telling himself since his marriage imploded. He’s been keeping his head down, running his gym, and avoiding his ex-wife at all costs. No one’s worth getting pinned again until Julia comes back to town.
Teaching Julia self-defense is supposed to boost her confidence, but all that time hitting the mats with Zach leads to sparks flying. Neither expected a second chance at happiness, but as they let their guard down, they discover they might have found something real.
But when old wounds resurface, will Julia and Zach decide love isn’t worth the risk? Or will they put their hearts on the line one more time and fight for it?
