Fighting Fate by Caitlyn Lynch

After disastrous results when she confesses her secret crush to her boss, Rosie honestly believes her only option is to leave Sunfish Island, even if it will break her heart to do it. Meeting Adam, a retired MMA fighter wondering where his own future lies, Rosie finds herself re-examing her path and her life choices.

The last thing Adam expected to find during his run along the beach is a beautiful woman in a glamorous evening gown crying her eyes out amongst the palm trees. Doing the gentlemanly thing, he stops to see if she’s all right, and finds himself intrigued by Rosie… even if she does seem to be hopelessly in love with another man. Nevertheless, he asks if he can see her again, and is delighted when Rosie says yes. Now he has to figure out a way to make her forget her crush… and fall for him instead!
