Plot: Josh North is UFC’s Light Heavyweight Champion—but he’s about to meet his match.
Sophie Garner is a single mom who’s been raising her daughter on her own, fighting for both of their lives ever since going into hiding to escape her abusive husband.
When Sophie gets offered the job of a lifetime as the exclusive massage therapist for Josh “The Jackhammer” North’s team, it’s difficult to say no to the outrageous salary—and the bet—that Josh proposes. But for Sophie it’s a risk that could cost a lot more than just her heart – if she’s found, it could cost her her life.
Should she dare?
Josh wants to break through Sophie’s fortified walls, but is unwilling to put the jackhammer to his own and reveal his secrets and the side of him few have ever known or seen. To do that, he’ll have to confront the darkness of his past.
Will he dare?

Six weeks until Christmas. I jab Ray, my sparring partner, in the eye. He staggers
back a little before he shakes it off. I wonder if I could get Sophie
to come with me to the party?
I send two fast fists into Ray’s ribcage. In two days
we’ll all be flying to Denver for the rest of the week. I’ll be
meeting Charlie for the first time. I block Ray’s grasp as he comes in
and tries to take me to the floor. I land a kick in his well-padded sternum.
I know Denver. Sophie said she’d never been there before. I
could set up an impromptu lunch or dinner with her and Charlie … that wouldn’t
look like I was hitting on her. Right? Maybe I can even get Sophie to be
my—hell, I don’t know what to call it … wingman? Co-pilot? Any term but
“date”—for one of the sponsor events. There will be two of them over the
weekend.
Ray gets around me and attempts a chokehold. I break free and
throw him over my shoulder. His back slams against the mat. I hear the breath
that’s forced from his lungs.
The team always sets me up with one or two women for the photo
shoots, then for the promo galas, which usually consist of a benefit auction or
fundraising dinner. Sophie might find it fun. If we go as
friends, she won’t feel threatened, right? And she could learn more about the
ins and outs of that side of the business. Oh, hell yeah! That sounds perfect!
Just then Sophie walks by the ring. Her face is freshly scrubbed
and free of makeup. She possesses a natural beauty that’s breathtaking. Deep
brown chestnut waves of hair cascade over the shoulders of her crisp, white
blouse. She glances at me from under her lashes. It’s so subtle, if I wasn’t
looking at her precisely at this moment I wouldn’t have noticed.
But I do.
Her cheeks blush with a surge of pink when our eyes meet.
I feel Ray’s legs wrap around mine as I hear his body slam to
the mat and sense helplessly that he’s taking me down with him. Shit! Immediately,
my hip and shoulder connects with the tough canvas.
Sophie keeps walking by, pretending as if she didn’t see
anything, but I see the curve of her rose petal lips as they form a smile.
