While the journey of faith and healing is set against the backdrop of the MMA, Schober's story world and characterization are vivid and evocative."--Rachel Hauck, New York Times bestselling author Strong-willed Adri Rivera always dreamed of becoming a professional mixed martial artist, but then she fell in love with a man who smashed everything to pieces. When their tumultuous relationship finally comes to a head, Adri flees with their young daughter to her small hometown in the mountains of Pennsylvania. There, she must face the people she left behind and put her broken life back together as a single mother. Adri struggles to regain her independence after so many years under the oppressive influence of her ex, but a job opportunity at a local gym gives her hope that she'll be able to stand on her own two feet. The one problem? The man who offers it to her is the handsome but hardened Max Lyons--her former best friend and training partner, whom she left heartbroken years before. As Adri dares to pursue her dream again, training for a big tournament, can she confront her weakness and avoid the past defining her future?
