seriously romantic: until you're mine by cindi madsen

cindi madsen kicks off her new mma series, fighting for her, with until you're mine. set at an mma training gym run by the roth family, shane knox is the newest member on team domination and he has a lot to prove. as a rookie he had moved up the mma ranks, only to start losing fights when his personal life imploded just before he reached the top.

now things are settled, but he finds himself having to start at the bottom. and falling for brooklyn roth, his trainer's baby sister is not going to help him climb higher.

brooklyn wants nothing to do with the mma world. she's been there, done that. cocky mma fighters who can't keep it in their pants are a risk not worth taking. and if she weren't a genius with numbers, and her family weren't on the verge of losing their gym, and if her brother hadn't managed to guilt her into coming back for the summer she wouldn't be stuck trying to avoid spending time with shane.

because in spite of everything she says, and does, she is horribly attracted to him. even though she has a boyfriend who is perfect on paper. nice, from a good family, not a fighter, supportive of her art.

the thing is she has dreams, and the last thing she needs is another reason to avoid fulfilling them. she already went down that road once, and it ended badly. but shane is different. he has been knocked down and out by the mma world too. his determination to make something out of himself, especially given that he comes from nothing, means that he knows how precious the moments of happiness he finds with brooklyn are.

he would do anything for her. and he does. and every time he blasts away her low expectations she falls for him just a little bit harder. and honestly, he's so cocky and sexy and the little game he plays when he tells her when he'd kiss her before they are ever together is so hot. these two only need the chance to figure out that they can have everything if they compromise. and that finding a middle ground isn't as impossible as they think it is.
