Publisher's Synopsis
Dylan "Ice Dragon" Thompson has suddenly become the hottest thing in MMA. He's fought all his life for control and inner peace. He focuses on what he excels at-fighting and his work with the Centre. It's what he knows and what keeps him in balance. His latest assignment has him fighting a war with a partner he doesn't believe he can trust. Vanessa Aldridge has grown up in the gym and has seen it all-some good, some bad. But when performance-enhancing drugs threaten her life and her personal sense of worth-enough is enough. The very people closest to her now have her questioning their motives and nobody is as they seem. On top of all this, she's unwittingly become the number-one pawn in an organised crime game and she's risking her heart on a guy who wants to fight for everything but them. Vanessa quickly discovers that Dylan is far from what he appears to be. But what happens when his latest assignment blows his carefully created world wide open? Can Dylan win the most important fight of all-the one for her heart and their future? Or will he retreat back into the one-dimensional existence of working and fighting? Can Vanessa remain steadfast to her principles and just maybe take the ultimate prize? The battle lines are drawn. When the bell rings, who will step up to fight? The prize: A future of freedom.
