Lily St. Claire runs a chain of MMA gyms and knows fighters well. Her father was the legendary boxer "The Saint," and she has watched aggressive, possessive men her entire life. She keeps her distance from the fighters who train at her facilities. Then Jax Knight walks through her door. He breaks every assumption she holds about men who fight for a living. Handsome and well mannered, he carries himself like the Ivy League graduate he is. His charm captivates her immediately. In public he acts like a perfect gentleman. In private he becomes something entirely different, commanding and direct in ways that surprise her. Lily finds herself falling for him despite her recent breakup. Her ex boyfriend has no intention of letting her move on. The situation forces Lily to confront what she really wants and whether she can trust her feelings for someone she has just met.
