Outsider

They called me a legend. The golden boy of American boxing. And I was. I had everything. But then I was forced to bury my entire family. And suddenly all the fame and money in the world meant nothing. So I retreated all the way out here, to a barren corner of the desert where no one could touch me. Now they call me a hermit, a recluse, a loner with a bad attitude. And they’re right. I just want to be left alone. I’m not searching for love. I’m not searching for anyone. Neither is she. Deirdre - smart, spirited and clueless about how to survive out here - has her own secrets. But she can keep her secrets to herself. Just like I keep mine. She doesn’t like me much. I don’t blame her. There’s only one thing we have in common. There’s only one thing we both want. I know it’s a bad idea if we give in and take it. I also know that’s not going to stop either one of us… *A version of OUTSIDER was previously published as Cards of The Hermit. Come along for the ‘opposite attract’ steamy emotional roller coaster of a ride where love is possible in the most unlikely place with the most unlikely person.*
