Bare-Knuckle Love

--- Fight to the death. Love to the bone. ---

Jason is back in his home town and trying to make money the only way he knows— in an illegal MMA fight. Bare knuckles. Hardly any rules. All he needs to do is… lose.
The Rabid Mongrels Motorcycle Club bet against him, and they are set to make a killing, but when Jason spots his high school crush in the audience, he can’t bear to lose. All he wants is to have Hyde notice him. He gets more than he bargained for when Hyde turns out to be the president of the MC, now out for his blood.
To survive, Jason will have to make a deal with the blond devil. No matter how manipulative and vicious Hyde can be, he is a dark wet dream come to life, and Jason can’t keep his hands to himself. Soon enough, the self-destructive lust he has for Hyde becomes a dangerous obsession that takes Jason to the most forgotten corners of his soul.

Photo Description:
A muscled, handsome man stands in a seedy backstreet, with nowhere to run. He’s shirtless, with bandaged knuckles and blood dripping down his chest from a cut on his face. They backed him into a corner, but he won’t go without a fight.
