Fighter's Frenemy: Crown MMA Romance: The Outsiders, #1

By A. Rivers

I've craved his love for years, but I was invisible to him. Now that I'm ready to move on, he suddenly sees me. And he won't let me go.

 

As the shy, plus-size twin sister of a professional cage fighter, I'm used to being overlooked. Including by the one man I've always yearned for. Leo 'The Lion' Delaney has trained alongside my brother for years. He's all the things my brother isn't—good, honorable, and protective. Not to mention he's built like Goliath and tattooed to boot. It's impossible not to want him, but he's only ever looked at me with disdain.

 

Then, overnight, everything changes. My arrogant brother is revealed as a cheat and my family are even more focused on him than ever. But I'm no longer interested in playing second fiddle. It's time to put myself first, and it all starts with proving I'm not the spoiled, thoughtless princess Leo seems to think I am. This curvy woman is about to take charge, and it seems he's coming along for the ride.

 

Sparks fly, and before long I'm in deeper with Leo than I ever expected. But when a scandal rocks our fledgling relationship, will we be strong enough to hold onto the possibility of forever?

 

Author's note: This is a short romance / novella with a complete standalone romance story of approximately 25,000 words.
