A once gifted ballet dancer chained to the demons of her past, Jewel is broken and no longer dances, her dream **torn ** away from her. Determined to not lie down and die, she takes up the fight, disguising herself as a man, and dares to enter... The Tornadoβs testosterone-fueled gym.
An Ex-Marine turned MMA champion, living in the shadow of his tragic past, Asher βThe Tornadoβ Prince only wants to keep his head in the game, turning any man who enters the ring into dust. His temper is hotter than a branding iron, keeping everyone at armβs length for good reason. He is all tattooed muscle, blood, sweat, and anyone who dares to cross his path, heβll leave them in tears.
But one night is all it takes. One look is all it takes. Two broken souls find love in the unlikeliest of places.
Jewel wants out of her dark world, but she faces the fight of her life to get there. But she wonβt do it alone. When Asher discovers that the skinny little kid who comes to his gym every night is a beautiful young woman, nobody will dare touch her again. They call him The Tornado, and Jewel finds out fast why he lives up to his hard-hitting, bone-crunching name. But when he proves to be the tornado to her demons, he also becomes the shelter to her storm.
And in the end, he will give up his dream, only so that he canβ¦save hers.
