The Fighter's Block (Van, Book One) - The Fighter's Block, #1

The entire fourth floor of Donovan Kemp's apartment complex houses only MMA fighters, dubbing it "The Fighter's Block." Growing up in an abusive home put Van on the fast track to nowhere, but a caring fight club owner took him under his wing as a teen and shaped him into a fighter with integrity. Now in his mid-twenties, his life changes dramatically when he steps in to help a beautiful girl in a scary situation.
Surprising to Van, she ends up going home with him. He's now on the fast track to something else: falling in love. He feels that Danielle is the type of girl he could only dream about, but the two quickly fall hard for each other in equal measure. When an ex-boyfriend proves to be nothing but trouble, Van has a tough time deciding between protecting Dani with legal measures or pounding the guy's face himself.
The harassment escalates, eventually pulling Dani and Van apart, and Van finds himself feeling desperate enough to do something drastic. If being thrown in jail isn't bad enough for Van, an undercover investigator seems to be getting a little too close to Dani, the fight club he grew up in could be turned upside down with scandal, and the friends he trusts with his life might not be who they say they are.
Follow the twists and turns in this romantic suspense and discover for yourself who's fighting for the dark side.
