Tapout (The Submission Fighter #3)

It’s time for the final round.
The secret’s out: the infamous Micah Anderson is official with no-name Alice Cross. But Alice is struggling to deal with the pressure of newfound fame, and the horrifying rumors that come with it. The pressure is on more than ever.

It’s all or nothing.
But Micah’s facing obstacles of his own – the finals are fast approaching, and choosing between his career and the love of his life is no easy task. And this choice might be what tears him and Alice apart.

It’s down to the last heartbeat.
They’re in for the biggest fight of their lives. The lies and the lust are building to a boiling point, and with the finals at hand, Alice and Micah must struggle to do what’s right. But will it be for their lives, or for their hearts?

EXCERPT
If he was going to hire an agent, it was going to have to be someone who respected his reluctance to sell out, but more importantly, the person was going to have to be his pit bull. She was going to need to sell the old version of him, the pre-Alice version that was in it for the money, the fame, and the sex.

Alice had given him a reason to be more than that, to feel more than that. Her stunningly perfect, untouched body and the way that she confidently glided over him each night was enough physically for him. She was this tame sexual beast whom he had so much more to explore with. Their relationship was just starting to heat up.

But outside the bedroom, she was his sole reason for survival. She was what he thought about as he ran miles upon miles on the track or the treadmill. She was the reason he took sucker punches and hits to his broken body. She was the reason he posed for the camera while shilling power drinks and athletic wear. She was the reason he was winning.

If this Lucy Hamlin was able to let him live his life with Alice as he wanted to while still molding him into the guy without two cents to give, she may be worth his time. If she wasn’t the answer to his problems, Micah needed to find a better solution to his image issues—fast. With semis coming up, he knew that eyes would not be on him and his muscles or his show in the ring. They would be square on Alice and their relationship.
