Winning Love by Abby Niles
Mac "The Snake" Hannon has spent years throwing himself into cage
fighting as a way to lash back at the natural disaster that destroyed
his future. A call for help has Mac returning to the one place he swore
never to return: Kansas--in the height of tornado season.
There he meets free-spirited Gayle Matthews. At first he wants nothing
to do with the infuriatingly persistent woman, but the crazy challenges
she tosses his way are impossible to resist. As she thaws years of
bitterness, bringing back the Mac he believed long gone, he starts to
make peace with the past and see the future again. Until he learns she
chases his worst nightmare--then he can't get away fast enough.
Meteorologist and storm chaser, Gayle Matthews is no stranger to being
left behind and now believes in living in the moment. She wants to do
just that with the handsome extreme fighter with the achingly sad eyes.
As she works to replace the sorrow with desire, she finds herself
breaking her one rule: have fun but don't fall in love. When he suddenly
pushes her away and she discovers the horrifying reason why, she issues
one more challenge: face his fear and come on a chase with her.
Will squaring off with the past lead to a victory for heartache or love?
