By day, I do all the grunt work at my family's struggling L.A. brewery. By night, I blow off steam at an underground fight club. I never thought the pandemic would bring Deanna Delgado back into my life-the woman who ghosted me three years ago after one unforgettable night. But the brewery needs a miracle to survive. And that miracle could cost me the only person who's ever had faith in me. My family calls me an idealistic do-gooder, but I see a better, brighter future for my community. My biggest problem? I've just lost the job I love. To ease my pain, I've hooked up with Angel Rosas, the filthy-sweet one-night stand who's somehow dropped back into my life. There's so much more to Angel than he lets on. Is he the man I can trust with my body and my heart? Or is he just another lost cause?
