Fighting for
someone’s heart is more challenging than fighting for a title.
For a time, many
years ago, love had grown, love was made, and in the end … love was lost. The decision to leave had
been the worst mistake Shelby Dawson could have ever made. However, at the time—ten years ago—
she felt her secret needed to stay hidden, even if it broke her heart and the heart of the man she loved.
Back then, he was all hers and she was all his, but now things have changed and he isn’t the same guy
she knew.
He happens to be
the well-known MMA Heavyweight champion and famous bad boy, Matt ‘The Destroyer’ Reynolds, who
once before struggled to help his family pay the bills. Now, he has money flowing with each undefeated
win and an insurmountable number of women filling his bed. Everything is perfect for the illustrious
fighter, until one day it all changes. In walks the girl from his past, the same girl who promised to stick by
him but left and never looked back.
Their second
chance to make things right will not come easy, for when one mistake is made an unwelcome
consequence soon follows. Someone out there wants to rip them apart and they won’t stop until Matt
and Shelby pay the ultimate price … their love.

Quotes from Fighting For Love
-
“All I wanted was to hate you, but now that
you’re right here in front of me I just hate myself because I still can’t. No matter how hard I tried, I could
never get you out of my mind.”
-
I wanted him again, but then I knew I
shouldn’t. I had to remember that so many other women had tasted his lips and felt his body between
their legs while my heart ached. Although, it wasn’t a full day ago that I was in the arms of another man;
kissing him, and vowing to myself that I was going to try and get over my past. It was a vow I knew I
couldn’t keep.
-
“Okay, so I’ve made mistakes, but so have
you,” he pointed out. “I’m pretty sure you didn’t stay innocent over the years, either. Right now I’d say
we’re both fifty shades of fucked up. The question is … what are we going to do about it?”
-
With his hands caressing my back, his
breath tickled my skin when he murmured in my ear, “You will be mine tonight, angel. Your body,
your lips … all mine.” “For how long?” I whispered back, shivering
from his touch. “One night? Two?” I had to know what he wanted. He nipped my earlobe with his teeth and a deep rumble sounded in his chest. “I want you
always, but I’ll settle for as long as you want to give me. Whether that be one night, two, or fifty years.
It’s all up to you.”
-
“Let me loose in a den of wolves,
huh? Little does Ryan know I’m not a little lamb,” she thundered. “I’m also not a model. What if I
suck?” “You’ve never sucked at anything, Shelby. Just don’t get
too comfortable with the guys, okay? I’m sure once we leave here word will spread they got to put
their hands on what’s mine without getting their heads smashed in.” “And who says I’m yours? I don’t think I gave you an answer yet,” she teased. “However, you
did ask me to come here with you, so if I get excited being touched by your fellow fighters then it’s all
your fault. I’m starting to think I might enjoy it.”
-
She loved to tease me; she always had, but
I fucking loved it. Her torture would come soon, and I was going to make sure she begged before I gave
her what she wanted.
-
Sliding the box of strawberries to my side, I
grabbed one of the dark chocolate ones and rubbed it across her swollen lips. “Sweetheart, I don’t think
this is torture, but I am getting ready to show you what torture is.”
-
“It just feels like every step forward we
take there’s always something that tries to hold us back.” “And that’s
why we’ll keep pushing,” he murmured low. “Nothing is going to hold us back because I’m not going to
let it. I’ll fight for what’s mine, and you, my angel, are mine.”
-
“I want to be the only man to have the
privilege of touching you like this, of making love to you. Because this right here,” he murmured, placing
his other hand over my heart, “is where I want to be. It’s where I’ve always wanted to be … it’s where I
belong.”
-
We only had to go down two more doors
before he pressed me up against the wall and thrust his tongue in between my lips. Reaching between my legs to
the waist of his jeans, I undid them and he let them fall to the floor. If only mine were gone I’d get him
to take me against the wall and fuck me hard. I didn’t want it gentle tonight, I wanted it hard and fast.
