Sheโs a mystery he canโt resist...
Doctor Ella Watts wants her old life back. Desperately. But the past has returned for its rematch, and going back homeโeven telling anyone her real nameโisnโt an option until sheโs confident in her MMA abilities. Personal trainer Lance Black is the man to help her reach her goals. Not only is he toned, muscular, and gorgeous, heโs patient, a great teacher, and willing to treat her like a worthy opponent. Except his size makes her freeze whenever he gets too close. If Ella canโt learn how to overcome her fear of being attacked, sheโll never be able to move on with her life.
Underground fighter Lance Black knows thereโs more to the mysterious blonde ninja than a beautiful woman determined to improve her fighting skills. She can best anyone close to her size โ man or woman โ but insists on working out with him, even though heโs got a good 70 pounds and several inches on her. Despite her reticence, heโs determined to get her to open up so he can help her get over her mental block. And if that means he can get to know her outside the gym, all the better.
As long as she never learns his secrets.
