She Hits Harder

Amara "Knockout" Knox is the undefeated super-middleweight boxing champion of the world. She’s built an empire on being untouchable, aggressive, and perfectly controlled. But when a vicious cut during a title defense forces a new cutwoman into her corner, Amara’s carefully constructed armor is shattered by two simple words.

Val Serrano is forty-four, a retired fighter, and a corner care expert who knows exactly how to stop the bleeding and calm a panicking athlete. What she doesn’t know is how to handle the world champion’s intense, immediate fixation on her. Val’s rule is simple: absolute professional distance. But Amara is used to fighting for what she wants, and she wants Val.

As the physical and emotional boundaries between them blur, Amara must learn the difference between being a weapon and being a woman, while Val has to confront the devastating trauma that ended her own career. In a sport where weakness is punished, surrendering to each other might be the most dangerous move of all.

She Hits Harder is a high-heat, age-gap, sapphic sports romance featuring a fierce champion, the steady older woman who brings her to her knees, and an emotional, hard-won happily-ever-after.
