They
say the only good thing about hitting rock bottom is that it can't get any
worse . . . or can it?
World
famous boxing champ, Felix Sanchez, had it all—the fame, the fortune, and all
the women any man could ask for. When the hours of partying followed by hours
spent in court and in rehab begin to outnumber the hours he spends training,
losing his title comes as no surprise to everyone. The world assumes he
deserved to lose it.
Only
those closest to Felix know the real truth behind his sudden downward
spiral. And if Felix has his way, no one else ever will. With an uncertain
future ahead of him, he heads back to his roots—5th Street—the gym that
started it all for him. It's where he meets the humble but mighty little Ms.
Ella.
The
only times Felix had ever decided to forgo the usual meaningless fling and try
a real relationship he was burned badly. Now the adorable but tenacious
self-defense instructor has him considering this love thing one more time.
Then just when he begins
to worry that his past is letting his possessive and jaded heart get the best
of him, he's blindsided in the most brutal way—he's brought to his knees—to what could be the one low in his life he may never
recover from.
Excerpt
“You hired me not just
to help manage your career but to do damage control with the mess you and Andy
made of it. And ever since, all you’ve done is continue to go downhill. It’s
almost as if you’re trying to ruin your career.”
“Oh yeah? And what
career would that be, huh? My boxing career? Because I think we can both agree
that ship has sailed. I’m just trying to enjoy my life now.”
“How? By
getting drunk every night and partying ’til you pass out? By starting brawls
and beating the shit outta every nobody that calls you a has-been?” Preston
followed Felix into the next room of his penthouse suite. “You’re not washed
up, Felix. But if you keep treating your body the way you have been this past
year—staying up every night, fucking every girl who throws herself at you, and
partying up for days—you will be. Hell, even your dick’s gotta say I’ve had
enough sooner or later.”
Felix laughed, taking a
swig of his glass of bourbon. “Not a chance.”
