Below the Belt

Love isn't afraid to fight dirty. Black Dog Danny Bannon and Eddie Roscoe have been fighting, in and out of the ring, for more than fifteen years. Their on-again off-again relationship takes a hard right cross with the arrival of Tom Delaney, a boxing prodigy on the run. But Tom's punch-happy, politically influential father isn't yet down for the count. And Tom's ready to turn his new fighting skills to a deadly purpose. Revenge, or die trying. Unless his surrogate big brothers can put their painful past behind them to keep history from rising up for another round. Takedown Back in town to settle his family's affairs, Tom's only refuge is Danny Bannon's gym-which also harbors Travis, Tom's ex. As in ex-sparring partner, ex one-night stand. The last time they faced off in the ring, he left Tom with a broken jaw and a concussion. The sparks are still there, but when Travis's own troubles quite literally explode, their only chance to build something solid on their broken past could go up in flames. Warning: Nothing says "I love you" like tough guys with a long history beating the crap out of each other in the ring. Contains sweaty sexual tension, cursing, grappling, kicking, thrown elbows, and more angst than deemed safe by the Surgeon General.
