Publisher's Synopsis
"Yup, the guy's a beast. But it's alright. I haven't been scared since Ricky broke my arm in sixth grade. Anything less than a broken arm is just hurt, and I've found out plenty of times that hurt goes away." Kicked off the wrestling team, his hopes for another State championship crushed, Ross LeClaire's anger reaches the boiling point. He needs to keep training, build up his skills, be ready for the beat-down his big brother Ricky's sure to have planned when he comes back home in a few months. A new Mixed Martial Arts gym run by a quiet guy with an attitude just may be the answer. There are only three fighters training there, but every one of them can take Ross out with their eyes closed, and have no problem proving it. Can he handle the back-breaking workouts and bone-jarring training the guys at the gym throw at him? Then there's Erin, the girl he's known since he was a kid, who just might be turning into something more. How will she react when she finds out he's spending the better part of every day learning how to beat guys up in a cage?
