Simon Evans retired from the ring with his faculties still working and his body in great shape. However, he returns to the ring to take out his anger on his opponents when he catches his girlfriend cheating.

His biological father, who deserted Simon and his mom years ago, sends his stepdaughter Dakota Dream to find his son and to ascertain if forgiveness and reconciliation is possible though he hides from her his ulterior motive. Simon wants nothing to do with his dad although he admires and is attracted to the courageous Dakota. She finds she wants him too. When an unknown adversary tries to kill her, Simon risks his life and his heart to protect his stepsister, the woman he loves.

Lori. Foster's latest Supreme Battle Championship tale is an exhilarating story starring a hero who knows first hand love hurts and thus trusts no one as people cheat and lie. His reaction to his attraction is precious as he wants to kick his own butt for desiring his dad's "agent". Dakota is a fiery feisty female who CAUSES HAVOC in the solar plexus of Simon. Although the "assassin's" subplot seems outside the ring of the core story line and the chutzpah of his biological dad is incredulous as they never met before, readers will enjoy going the distance with this fine pairing of two champions.
