Against the Cage (Worth the Fight #1) by Sidney Halston

In her Loveswept debut, Sidney Halston turns up the heat as a sexy cage fighter shows a former bookworm how delicious a few rounds between the sheets can be.

For Chrissy Martin, returning to her Florida hometown always seems to bring bad luck. The day starts with a breakup text, followed by a jailhouse phone call from her troublemaker brother. Now a routine traffic stop has ended with her accidentally punching an officer . . . in a delicate place. Then Chrissy realizes that the hot cop on the receiving end of her right hook is none other than the man from her teenage fantasies.

Jack Daniels knows how to take a hit. After all, when he’s not chasing reckless drivers, he’s kicking ass in a mixed martial arts ring. So what takes his breath away isn’t the low blow, but the woman who dealt it: a gorgeous knockout with legs Jack wouldn’t mind being pinned under—who just so happens to be his best friend’s nerdy little sister, all grown up. Soon their instant chemistry leads to a sizzling affair, but Jack and Chrissy are fighting an uphill battle if they want to make love last beyond the final bell.

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from other Loveswept titles.

“What are you doing back in town?" “I think you know,” replied Chrissy. “Your brother?”

GOD, SHE WANTED TO SEE THAT A$$. NAKED. IN HER BED. NO, WAIT! THAT’S NOT RIGHT.

“Drogo?” she asked, her brows furrowed. “My Chihuahua,” he said, as he opened a door and out came the smallest dog Chrissy had ever seen.

“He bites.  He’s quarter pit bull.” Jack said, matter-of-factly.
