Outside the Octagon

USA Today best-selling author, Lexy Timms, brings you a sweet (and oh-so-sexy) romance about love, sweat, and tears. Violent, painfully loyal, and willing to win at all costs. Aedan Kearney learned from an early age that the only person he could count on was himself. Growing up on the rough side of New York City, he’s no stranger to a fight. He knows how to outlast the best of them - at least that’s what he’s trying to do. An ultimate fighter standing on the edge of something big.

Life was absolutely perfect. All that changed in a flash. Aedan Kearney is on the edge of every success he'd ever dreamed. His career is on top. He's about to go pro in the MMA circles, and he's finally with the woman he loves. Rosalyn Thomas is enjoying success of her own. Her career as a writer is coming to fruition with the publication of her first book. Except happiness can't last forever.

Temptation comes in many forms. No sooner has MMA fighter Aedan Kearney proved his integrity in the ring, then he's challenged all over again by a far more deadly challenger than any fighter he's ever met. His new glamorous assistant has made no secret of the fact that she'll do what it takes to make him her own. With a baby at home taking all his beautiful wife's spare time, Aedan asks himself what's the harm in a little flirtation—only to find out just how much damage a spiteful woman can do. At the same time, Rosa is finding motherhood isn't all it's cracked up to be.
