Lady and the Champ

** Lauren **

When my brother's attacked, I'm terrified. He's all I have, and without him, I'm stuck raising my niece Faye on my own. Thankfully, his best friend Onyx is by my side. He's strong, sexy, sensitive, and he promises to protect us from the imminent threat hanging since my brother's been hospitalized. But being in close range has only blurred boundaries. I need him, wildly, to soothe the pain. Especially if my brother doesn't make it.

** Onyx **

I'm a fighter by nature. Born to win, I'm a sole survivor. Blood, sweat, tears, and the support of Fabian have kept me going, even when nobody else believed in me. When my best friend is stabbed after my latest fight, I take it personal. Fabian's more than my manager. He's my best friend and brother. I promise to protect Lauren and Faye at any cost while he's down, silently praying that he makes it. Lauren is easy to love. She's sexy, sweet, and she needs me. But when threats against our lives appear, I pledge to go down fighting to protect her.
