Blackmailed back into the arena by a ruthless crime boss, a former underground fighting legend must survive a gauntlet of savage matches where losing just one fight... means losing it all.

When San Francisco pet shop owner Willa Davis encounters the man who stood her up in high school, she fights both her head and her heart when she starts falling for him all over again ten years later.

Ava and her mother Faye are bonded by many things...unconditional love, a passion for the arts, a belief that magic exists, and an insidious disease that will one day end both their lives. It's been three years since Ava moved back into her mother's house to care for Faye, and as Ava witnesses the slow downward spiral all she can do is keep her mother's spirits up while locking away the fears of her own future. Today is a day like any other until rare guests and unexpected events compel Faye to make a shocking announcement, sending Ava into a tailspin. Unable to deal with reality, Ava cries herself to sleep in her mother's arms and escapes to a dream world filled with old friends and long forgotten desires. Written by Marina Rice Bader
