The Clinch

Eden Bauer has fought her way to the top of mixed martial arts, building a life around the discipline that helped her survive a difficult past. Brooklyn Shaw arrives with her own formidable skills and the expectations of a family deeply rooted in combat sports. A championship contest should make their relationship simple: each woman stands between the other and victory. Instead, rivalry brings an attraction neither can easily separate from her ambitions. Training, reputation and personal history make trust a demanding prospect, especially when professional success requires defeating the person drawing closer. Outside the cage, Eden and Brooklyn face a different challenge: deciding how much of themselves they can risk revealing.
