Lionheart by Robin Huber

LIONHEART was previously published as A LOVE LIKE YOURS and A STORY LIKE OURS in 2019.
Lucy Bennet finally has the life she dreamt of when she was growing up in Brighton Park, an impoverished suburb of Atlanta. She lives in a beautiful house on a quiet, tree-lined street, her budding art career is beginning to take off, and she can paint to her heart’s content in her very own art studio—a wedding present from her entrepreneur fiancé. It’s a life far from the rundown foster homes she was raised in. There’s just one thing missing…the love of her life.

Sam Cole refused to become another statistic. After he lost the only girl he ever loved, he turned to boxing and used his heartbreak to become the Light Heavyweight Champion of the world. He’s won seven national titles, a gold medal, and is well on his way to becoming the greatest boxer of his generation. He has everything he ever wanted when he was growing up in Brighton Park…except for Lucy.

After years of watching Sam’s career through a microscope—and being tortured by the fame that goes with it—Lucy never expected to see him again. Now she’s faced with a decision that could mean sacrificing everything she’s worked so hard for. But she soon learns there is a price to pay for true happiness. And Sam finds that his biggest challenge isn’t inside the ring. He’ll have to fight for Lucy one more time or say good-bye to her forever.
