Nick Storelli is the MMA and fan favorite to win the upcoming heavyweight title. He’s good looking, rich, cocky and for the first time in his twenty-four years of life he’s beginning to doubt himself. He’s no longer sure that fighting and being with a different woman every night is all he wants out of life. He is beginning to worry that he’ll be left all alone someday with nothing to show for his life but battle scars and broken bones…and then he meets Karli.

Karli Mills grew up in the gym. Her father Charlie was a prize fighter in the old days, one of the best. Now he’s the best trainer in Las Vegas and he just so happens to be training the hottest man on the planet…at least as far as Karli is concerned. She’s made up her mind however that where Nick Storelli is concerned, she’s going to look and not touch. Her life this far has been a series of bad relationships and she’s refusing to go there again with another gym rat. She’s focused on getting her law degree and hopefully finding a man with a brain instead of only brawn one day.

Nick is persistent though and he always gets what he wants, and what he wants is Karli. Surprisingly he doesn’t just want her for one night though. He wants to keep her but first he has to find a way to convince her that he’s worth keeping while getting ready for the biggest fight of his life. Unfortunately for him the man training him for that fight just so happens to be the father of the object of his affection. Can Nick maneuver all of the roadblocks in his way and arrive at the one true love of his life, or will the obstacles between him and Karli just keep piling up?
