About Sweet Victory:
Sophie Caldwell might not like asking for help, but help is what she needs if she’s going to save her family business from her uncle. Her grandma left one rule for Sophie if she wants to gain sole ownership before she’s thirty—get married. Yeah, fat chance of that happening since she hasn’t had a boyfriend in years, and now she can’t get her uncle off her ass. British-born MMA fighter Xander James has never lost a fight, and he’s not about to start now. He’s on the brink of a comeback that could make him a UFC champion, but his landlord wants to take away his last chance by shutting down his gym. Hell, no. Fortunately, his landlord’s niece has a problem of her own. Time for a proposal she can’t refuse.Get your copy today!

Xan’s body had tensed more with every
minute he listened. Then Caldwell insulted Sophie, making Xander’s blood boil
and his fists curl tight. The only thing she could do to stop the sale was get
married, and the snide bastard flat out told her he didn’t believe for a second
it would ever happen, now or ever.
What a bunch of bullshit. Xan would bet
Sophie had men panting after her on the regular, and if her relationships
didn’t last, it was probably because they couldn’t hold a candle to her raging
fire.
That wouldn’t be the case if they ever got
together, at least not in the bedroom. He would match her flame for flame until
they incinerated everything around them. He’d been on the verge of letting
those torrid images get the best of him again when the cruel words of her uncle
smacked him back to the present.
“…the only way to acquire the trust is
through a legitimate marriage. Considering your track record with men, I think
we both know what the likelihood of that is.”
Fucking hell! To hear him speak so callously to a
woman—his own niece—brought back painful memories of growing up hearing his
father berate and belittle Xander’s mother. It’s why he often got involved in
situations that were none of his business. He couldn’t stomach witnessing a
woman being bullied.
Xan was going to make the tosser choke on
his own words.
He stalked out to the front door, reached
up, and flicked the little bell to signal his “arrival.” Turning around, he
faced a perplexed Kristin who opened her mouth, presumably to ask if he’d
fallen off his rocker. He held a finger up to his lips and shot her a look he
hoped would brook no argument. She simply raised a single brow with interest.
Xan spoke loud enough for his voice to
travel down the hallway to Sophie and her uncle. “Hello, Kristin, you’re
looking lovely as ever,” he said, walking toward the hall. “Just popping in to
see my girl after my run. Tell Billy I said hello, yeah?” Then he proceeded to
eat up the short distance to reach the office.
Acting as though he had every right to
barge in without knocking or asking for permission, he swung the door in wide
just as she was approaching, hopefully to throw the asshole out of her office.
Sophie’s chocolate eyes widened in surprise, her red-stained lips opening on a
gasp.
“There you are, sweetheart.”
“Xander, what—”
That’s all she got out before his large
hands took hold of her face and he slanted his mouth over hers for a claiming
kiss. He wasn’t the sort of man to greet his woman with a chaste peck, but
rather one of possession and ownership. One that marked her as his alone,
without question, without challenge.
Only he hadn’t known that about himself
until the moment his lips touched Sophie’s.
Mine. So fucking
mine.
