Hit me harder
Jay has always known how to take a hit-inside the ring and out. As one of the fiercest fighters in the boxing world, pain is just another part of the job. But when a brutal injury threatens to take him down for good, he's forced into recovery under the hands of Heeseung, a sharp-tongued, no-nonsense physical therapist who has no patience for stubborn athletes who think they're invincible. From the very first session, they clash. Jay pushes too hard, Heeseung pulls him back. Heated words turn into lingering touches, and neither of them can ignore the electricity between them. But outside forces are closing in-whispers of match-fixing, rivalries that go beyond the ring, and threats that hit far too close to home. As tension builds and their dangerous game escalates, Jay finds himself facing the one fight he's never trained for. And Heeseung? He might just be the one opponent Jay can't afford to lose.Complete

And it's too late to renegotiate. ***** When Fox hooks up with his new roommate at a masked club, he has no idea their fling is just the beginning.
