Choosing to Fight Samantha Westlake

"If your survival was on the line, would you fight? And if you fight, will you ever feel love?" From years of climbing into the brawling arena, Cain has grown immune to the pain of punches. He knows that he cannot escape his past, but he must fight each night to just stay in place. He can never escape those debts, and he has trained himself to win, not to feel, just so he can stave off the inevitable. Despite the cute guys in her college classes, Lucy insists that she isn't ready to rejoin the dating world. Just a few months out of an abusive relationship, she tells her best friend that she's too busy to date - but the truth is that no man seems to make her feel safe. And this feeling is further supported when, after being pressured into going on a blind date, she finds every aspect of the night going wrong. But as the blind date turns south, a dark stranger steps in to rescue her - Cain. And despite his reluctance to open himself up, Lucy finds herself drawn towards this strong, battle-hardened man. Lucy and Cain draw closer to each other, leaning more and more on each other for support. But even with Lucy's help, can Cain stand and fight against the demons of his past? And does Lucy have even a chance of rescuing this dark horse of a fighter from his debts and depths?
