Going the Distance — Jennifer Fusco

The most restricted boxer at Las Vegas's Stamina gym lets himself unravel in the second Ringside novel from the author of Fighting For It…
 
A dedicated fighter, Middleweight Michael Perez is willing to do whatever it takes to reach the top, and with his next fight scheduled at Madison Square Garden he's almost there. A self-proclaimed control freak, he plans to drive himself cross country to the fight. But when his manager insists a sports reporter tag along, thinking it will be good for public relations, Michael finds himself under the watchful eye of Ava Phillips.
 
Ava Phillips has made a career out of exposing the underbelly of professional sports. Her instincts tell her that sexy, moody Michael Perez's squeaky clean image is a cover for something more intriguing. Sharing the drive from Nevada to New York, Ava's interest turns physical. But as their relationship heats up and Ava unearths his past, will she expose Michael's darkness or succumb to the passions of a relationship she's only ever read about?
