He’s a dark, dangerous MMA champion.
She’s a single mom on the run.
One wrong move could destroy them both.

Josh North—UFC’s Light Heavyweight Champion, risk-it-all bad boy, and unapologetic dirty talker—is about to meet his match.

Sophie Garner has spent years hiding from her abusive ex, protecting her daughter and keeping their location secret. When she’s offered the job of a lifetime as Josh “The Jackhammer” North’s exclusive massage therapist, she can’t say no--to the money, or the heat that sparks the moment they meet.

But Josh doesn’t play fair. He wants Sophie, and he’ll fight to keep her safe... even if it costs him everything.

He’s her temptation.
She’s his redemption.
