Against the Cage

Chrissy Martin hasn't returned to her hometown of Tarpon Springs, FL, since she left years ago, but she is now forced back to bail her brother Slade out of jail. The very last thing she needs is to run into Jack Daniels, now a sexier-than-ever local cop who happens to be her brother's best friend and who never looked at her as anything more than a bratty kid sister. Having worked the last decade as a doctor in poverty-stricken countries, Chrissy is no longer the nerdy bookworm he remembers, and Jack feels compelled to protect this woman at all costs. Slade is a cage fighter whose underground matches might cost him his life if Chrissy can't stop him before it's too late. Jack wants to help her, so it's no surprise that she quickly falls into his arms. He is also a mixed martial arts fighter who epitomizes the one thing Chrissy can't handle—violence. Attending one of Jack's fights brings back all the brutality from her past relationship, and Chrissy isn't sure if she can compromise on something that she knows will destroy more than just her heart.
