When a Gen Z content creator meets a brooding MMA coach, they are the hottest thing on the mat in this forced-proximity, enemies-to-lovers sports romance for fans of Nikki Castle and Elle Kennedy.

Gloves off.

And hands on...

When things get hard, some choose flight...

It's been a year since Lily Parker fled to Chicago, hoping to lose herself among millions of people. Becoming the new content creator for a South Side MMA gym isn't just a fresh start or a new job--it's a chance to save the gym and help women protect themselves. But while the gorgeous, scarred and tatted-up MMA coach has marked Lily as an enemy, there's definitely something spicy between them...

He chooses fight.

Kieran Sullivan only knows how to use his fists. His body is a testament to survival and protecting those he loves--and that does not include the gym's newest employee. But when a video goes viral, Kieran and Lily must play nice in front of the cameras to keep the gym's fans happy. Now the internet is obsessed with their scorching, will-they-or-won't-they chemistry.

Sometimes, the only thing that separates love from hate is knowing exactly who your opponent really is.
Sparring Partners is a spicy, fast-paced romance you can read in one sitting.
