Keep Your Guard Up - Paperback

Everyone has their own personal cloud of darkness. But she was the sunshine that broke through.

Small-town girl, Mari Trevino, only cares about three things; her town, her family, and her gym. After her father, UFL star Elijah Trevino, is forced into an early retirement, Mari is thrown into the deep end of gym-owner life. With a closed heart, raised fists and an ass that won't quit, she's determined not to let anything else change.

Also with an ass that won't quit, up-and-coming UFL fighter Chance Riordan.

Eager to escape his past life in the big city, Chance accepts a job offer in middle-of-nowhere Soggla, as the head striking coach in his old idol's gym. With big shoes to fill of the retiring coach, Chance will stop at nothing to make this new life work. But there's only one thing standing in his way- the gym's fiery, scowling owner with legs a mile long.

She's hell-bent on fending off change. He's doing everything he can to make change.

But sometimes the things you don't want to change, are the ones that should.
