Choke Hold by Eve Holmes

“But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward.”
-Rocky Balboa

Ty Roscoe and Luca Mitchell have moved beyond their rivalry in MMA, becoming more than just teammates. Now working together both in and out of the cage, they’re focused on one common goal: making it to the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
But their journey is about more than just achieving success in the octagon. As pressures and obstacles threaten to derail their path to the top, they also grapple with how to love and support each other through it all. As Ty returns to training after injury, and Luca continues to fight for his choices in life, they are no longer exerting dominance and control over one another. Instead, they learn to lean on each other’s strengths and break free from the choke hold these pressures have on them.
They’re stronger together than they ever were apart.
And no matter how tight the hold, they refuse to submit. Because the ultimate strength comes from facing life’s challenges side by side.
But is it enough to make their dreams come true?

Choke Hold is book 2 in the No Holds Barred duet and ends with an HEA.
Books in this duet must be read in order, as book 2 is a continuation of book 1 with the same main characters.
