He left the MMA ring - vowing never to turn back. He shut the door to society â€" until she walked in and turned everything around.

HUGH MADDOX: I've had enough of the crap that goes along with being a pro MMA fighter. After what happened that night - I can't stop replaying every damn minute in my mind. I vowed to leave the hell hole I built for myself and never turn back. Living in the woods in a reclusive cabin was just what I needed and I was doing just fine for years. Then in walked Sam. Poor little spoiled city girl. Run home to daddy before you get hurt little lady. She was the last thing I needed in my life â€" at least that's what my brain told me but my lower half had…conflicting feelings. I take pride in my ability to restrain myself â€" but her presence has me pushing my boundaries. SAM WASHINGTON: After catching my a## hole of a boyfriend with another girl â€" I had enough and was ready for an escape. Taking a story at work that would send me deep into the woods may have been a rash move â€" but then again it landed me into the arms of the sexiest specimen I've ever laid my eyes on. Mysterious. Rugged. And oozing with sex appeal. His touch ignites a passion in me that I never even knew existed. While my ex couldn't find a G spot if it hit him in the face, I have no doubt that Hugh knows just how to use the wood he's packing. The only problem is I know the secret he has kept locked up for years and I don't think he wants anyone to find out.
