Fighting for love and freedom.
MMA Middleweight World Champion, Jackson "Jax" Malone has just entered the fight of his life. Known for his viciousness in the cage, and his playboy ways out of it, Jax is arrested and charged with a brutal rape. The thought of spending decades in prison is one of the few things that actually scares the shit out of this cocky fighter.
Newly admitted attorney Page Davenport is willing to do anything it takes to get out from under her father's thumb and finally prove herself in his law firm. Anything except representing the infamous miscreant, Jackson "The Mauler" Malone. Despite her protests, Page is powerless to avoid becoming the sacrificial lamb, the token female, who will be the face of the violent, angry Neanderthal's defense team. Jax is a bad boy with a temper, doing whatever the hell he wants in life while flipping the bird at all his haters.
Page is the prim and proper rich debutante her parents want her to be. They've been pulling her strings, telling her what to do, where to go to school, what to wear, and even who she should marry. Page and Jax struggle to work together, engaging in a knock-down drag-out fight for dominance.
When they finally stop taking swings at each other, they're both surprised to realize that sometimes first impressions are completely wrong. In fact, opposites really do seem to attract.
However, there are lines that attorneys and their clients can never cross if Page wants to keep her license to practice law. Will Page risk it all and submit to the cocky fighter? Or will Jax's temper and jealousy prove too much for her to take on outside of the courtroom?
Either way, one thing is for sure - neither Page nor Jax are going down without a fight. In the end, the secret for them to find heaven may be to battle their way through hell first.

Disappointing
Okay author, so let me get this straight. Guys can ‘sow their wild oats’ and receive no judgement, but a woman does it and she’s called the S word? No. That is double standards and we have come a long way from those outdated stereotypes. Pleasure for the taking is for all genders. And THEN the character had THE AUDACITY TO CALL SOMEONE ELSE SEXIST! My blood is boiling, what a frustrating read.
Also ‘newly single father in one income’ - most families were single incomes back then. ‘I can’t yet find any words for several awkward seconds’ should have been ‘I can’t yet find any words’ or ‘I can’t find any words for several awkward seconds’ - seriously poor editing. I was quite disappointed with this book and feel like the author could and should do better. Also get a better editor, not only will they fix those mistakes that shouldn’t be in there, they’ll elevate the level of the book from 3 stars. Life is too short to read 3 star books.
