Xavier — Lane Hart

Xavier Malone returned to Maryland for his ten-year high school reunion to get away from all the drama in Seattle.He never thought he would spend the week second-guessing every decision he's ever made or seriously consider trading in his suit and tie for a chance to get in the cage.Most of all, he wasn't supposed to fall for Cassidy, his childhood best friend.As Xavier makes plans to pursue his lifelong dream, following in the footsteps of his father Jax, a legend in the fighting world, he convinces himself that he needs Cass in his corner more than he needs her in his bed.But Cass has longed for Xavier to see her as more than a friend for years and is tired of waiting. Now that he's back, she's not going to waste her chance to finally tell him how she feels.There's only one thing that can stand in the way of Xavier and Cass's happiness, and that's Xavier's unfinished business with his estranged wife.
