Sold to the Fighter by Cassi Hart

Grace

I’ve followed the rules my whole life, only to be told I’m not good enough. And when I finally escape my fanatical devil of a father, I stumble into a dark world I never could have imagined—a world where men are offering ludicrous amounts of money for my virginity.

I have no idea how to please a man, but when I meet Theo, I find myself wanting to learn. His voice makes me want to obey his every command, to be good for him. Unlike my father, he makes me feel safe. And unlike my father, he sees me and loves me for who I am. It’s hard to believe that the love he’s offering is real, but if I can accept it, I know I’ll never have to be afraid again…

Theo

As a fighter who’s made a fortune in underground rings, I’m used to the darkness. But this place is the worst…where the scum of the earth gather to buy and sell terrified young women. I’m just here to fulfill a promise I made to my father—and then I can go back to my lonely life, where at least I’m in control.

But then she steps onto the stage, and I know I’ll never be the same. This wasn’t the plan, but I can’t let any other man get his hands on her, so I know she’s coming home with me.

It isn’t long before I’m showing her a side of me I don’t share with anyone else. To my shock, she accepts all of me, even the darkest parts. Now I know I’ll never let her go…
