Axe: Fit to Love Book 5
Instalove Brother's Best Friend

Axe
I was just going to make a deposit at the bank when I came upon a crazy situation in the building's parking garage.
The damsel-in-distress is easily the most beautiful woman I've ever set my eyes on. Now images of her are stuck in my head.
Lucia Quinn. Even when I need to, I can't stop thinking about her.
I've worked hard, given up almost everything else to get where I'm at in my mixed martial arts career. But when I see the love and family some of my teammates have, on top of their success, I realize I want that too.
I don't just want it all.
I want it all with Lucia Quinn.

Ever have one of those days that just goes from bad to worse?
First I make a mess of my marketing presentation at work. I get called away from the office early to pick up my savage three-year-old from daycare. I even get mugged!
Thank goodness for real-life heroes -- like Axel, the professional MMA fighter who happens to be in the right place, at the right time. He trips the thief and recovers my purse.
Axel is insanely attractive, and now it's my heart that needs to recover.
When I see him at a party a week later, I wonder if fate really does intervene sometimes. Maybe I could open my heart up and fall in love again...
There's just one teeny-tiny, massive problem.
The man of my dreams? He's my new best friend's older brother.
