Fighting Fate

Jamie Salsbury

Axelle’s broken. I live to hold her together. Killian McCreery only has two dreams . . . Fight for the UFL. And Axelle. He’s watched her give her time and her body to men who don’t deserve to breathe her air. He’s waited, worked hard to become the kind of man she deserves, hoping one day, when the time is right, he’d get the opportunity to make her happy. After a painful anniversary, he finally gets his chance. But life has a way of sucker-punching its victims—striking when they least expect it in the most devastating ways. Killian loves me. But I screwed up. Big time. Axelle Daniels appears to be the typical college student—parties, hangovers, and men. No one knows that inside she’s a mess, and no amount of booze or meaningless relationships have managed to fill the cracks in her heart. But Killian knows. He’s been there since the night it all began and has never left her side. When she wakes up one morning to find the consequences of her actions have caught up to her, even Killian’s white-knighthood can’t save her now. Fate is put to the test when, for the first time in their five-year friendship, they no longer have each other to lean on. When he becomes a UFL superstar, she hardly recognizes the man he used to be. And she no longer needs him to hold her together. With the foundation of their friendship gone, they’ll discover that even a love that is meant to be needs to be fought for and destiny is a choice.
