Book Synopsis

Modern Gladiator: Book One A prim and proper aspiring doctor and a destitute martial artist-both with hurts to comfort. Each with just the cure the other needs. Corbin Friel hates mindless sports, especially fighting and boxing. As a medical student, he wants to help others, not watch them beat each other senseless. But his sister, Lala, can't get enough of rough-and-tumble sporting events, and she drags her brother along whenever she can. Keon Lynch doesn't have much going for him. He's broke, he lives alone in a new state, and he's estranged from his family. But at least he has his dream-becoming a professional UFC fighter. Keon trains every day, and if he can just score a few more wins, he'll get his ticket into the ranks of professional competitors. But an unexplained pain jeopardizes Keon's dream. During a backstage meet-and-greet, Corbin recognizes the telltale signs of a bone infection, which could cost Keon his leg. Unable to ignore Keon's situation, Corbin begrudgingly decides to help. And while he gets to know Keon, finding him more desirable with each interaction, Corbin's ex-boyfriend isn't pleased with the development.... And he's determined to keep Corbin for himself, no matter what.
