Publisher's Synopsis
**Introductory prequel novella to the Gloves Off series by NYT and USA TODAY Bestselling author, L.P. DOVER. The characters in this book will get their own novels which will conclude their stories.** When you're told to stay away from someone or something it only drives the urge to go after it more. In this case, that was exactly what happened. For years, Gabriella Reynolds-younger sister of MMA's Heavyweight Champion, Matt Reynolds-was warned by him to stay away from his fighter friends; she deserved better and they would only break her heart. Did she listen? Yes, for a while, but temptation can only consume you so much until you fall into its trap. There's a certain fighter she's interested in, and it just so happens that he's her brother's best friend, the only one that is completely off limits to her. However, she's not the only one fighting temptation. Tyler Rushing can't deny his attraction to her, but he's afraid she'll want more and he can't give that to her. When he finds out that's not the case ... everything changes. Secrets can be dangerous, but they can also be thrilling and intense. Gabriella and Tyler have no choice but to keep their time together a secret ... and it's a secret that'll stay with them forever.
