He’s her coach.
She’s too young.
They’re both risking everything.
Forced to grow up too soon, Skylar has built her entire life around taking care of her family. But when she catches her first lucky break, she’s finally able to pick up the sport that has always intrigued her. Signing up at the local MMA gym is where she meets Coach Dominic.
Because everything in Dominic’s life is based on his reputation as a coach and fighter, he’s always kept a professional boundary between himself and his students. But when Skylar impresses him in the gym, and their post-class chats start to last into the night, that boundary begins to blur. Before long, a relationship develops between them—that they’re forced to keep behind closed doors.
While Skylar struggles to balance her feelings for Dominic with taking care of her family, Dominic has to decide if he’s willing to risk everything for a chance at love.
Will Dominic and Skylar let themselves find happiness with each other? Or is the cost of their relationship too high?

This is the first book I read from this author and I loved it! I am definitely going to read the rest of her books!
Skylar works multiple jobs and takes care of her family all while being a college student. With everthing she has going on in her life, she never really had the time or money to do something for herself. When she gets an opportunity to do something she loves, she signs up at the MMA gym. There she meets Dominic, the coach and owner.
There is an instant attraction despite the fact that he’s her coach.
The characters are well-developed and relatable. The pacing of the story is perfect. It builds the tension as the relationship between Skylar and Dominic deepens. The chemistry between them is passionate and electric. I enjoyed seeing their relationship grow into something wonderful. I truly admired Skylars hard working ethic to help her family. It was admirable how she put her family first before she did anything for herself. I am glad she found her happy ending.
I definitely recommend giving this book a read!
