Ryland "The Savage" Cole, a fierce and passionate MMA fighter looking for some affection?
... Brought to you by professional cuddler Jade. Or is there more to it?
Jade has gone through a rough time (to say the least) and what better way to get back up on her feet than to start a new business right?
Her profession is one that's quite eventful to say the least but after reading the book I must say it is one that could possibly have it's positive effects.
So it is through this job these two meet. Little does she know Ryland has got a little more to say about who her clients really are than she could have imagined.
When ghosts of the past come back to haunt her and Ryland asks for her services to come with him on his next tour, she sort of "reluctantly" agrees.
As you all know passion can simmer for a long time but it will explode at some point and when it does... Wow! I can seriously tell you Ryland is one of the most alpha guys I have ever read about.
Action combined with passion and a whole lotta loving - a recommendation for all of you who love a good old alpha and a heroine who is just as fierce!

The announcer said, “Your winner tonight by way of TKO is
Ryland ‘Savage’ Cooooolllle.”
Ryland’s arm was lifted high.
The crowd cheered, and I whistled and clapped along with
them. Then I froze as Ryland’s grays ensnared mine. Something powerful gleamed
in them. Something predatory, and I was unable to tear away.
A thought crossed my mind. Should I run because of the way
he was looking at me? I’d never had anyone look at me like that before. Not any
of the menacing women in the prison who were picking their teeth with bones nor
my ex when we were in the peak of our relationship. Ryland’s look was scary but
another kind of scary. A pure sexual scary, and I kind of liked it.
My insides quivered, and my body ached for him. Sexual
tension was a cunning enemy, always present, and I had ignored it since I’d met
Ryland. But at the moment, I felt that I was going to blow if he came near me.
He moved, his body a ripple of power as he stalked toward
me, ignoring the crowd seeking his attention. A reporter with a death wish
stepped in front of him, cutting off his path.
Ryland halted to shoot the man a glare. The reporter changed
his mind fast and scurried out of Ryland’s way. Coach threw his hands in the
air, shouting at Ryland to stay, but was ignored. Ben must have had iron balls
to put a hand on Ryland’s shoulder, but Ryland shot his grays to him, and Ben
lifted his hands and backed off slowly.
My jaw had already dropped but fell even more when
Ryland vaulted himself up the cage’s chain link, over the
edge, and leaped to the ground, his knees bent to soften the
impact. The spell broke when people swarmed him like flies, and I lost sight of
him.
Tyeesha gave my hand a quick squeeze, mumbling, “Oh Lord,
someone has it baaad.”
Who had it bad? Me or him? Because I freaking had it bad. I
needed to get the hell out of here before he caught me. As I decided to run far
away, maybe Hawaii or someplace farther, I watched the unfortunate person in
front of me get tossed aside, and Ryland’s T-shirt-clad body materialized two
inches from my face. I cranked my head back and froze.
The lights flashed behind him, and I blinked quickly. The
crowd moved and buzzed around me, but they were merely background noise. His
white teeth flashed in a predatory way, his grays were molten, and the way he
was staring at me had my body flaring from a single flame to a freaking
inferno. Run? What was the definition of that word? Before I knew it, he bent and
I landed on his shoulder, my breath escaping me.
We were moving before I realized what was going on. I didn’t
struggle, but I did attempt to brace myself on his back so I didn’t just hang
there. He carried me out of the arena like he was a victorious warrior claiming
the glory, claiming his prize. And I was his prize.
