Hunter was born to fight. Now he must fight for love. Hunter Wolfe's life has been a revolving door in the penitentiary system of Saginaw and Detroit, Michigan from an early age. After witnessing the brutal murder of his mother as a young boy, the trauma molded him into a juvenile delinquent his grandparents could no longer control. It was no surprise to anyone in his circle that he became a weapons enthusiast and ruthless street boxer. Despite what many believe, though, Hunter's heart beats for a select few-such as his dying friend, Noah, who has given him a set of tasks to complete on his behalf. Somewhere along the way, though, the unimaginable happens... Nita Percy is a hardworking single mother living in Detroit, Michigan. The last thing she needs is a hulking, beastly felon like Hunter hanging around her home, but her hands are tied, seeing that her daughter's best friend's father is about to draw his last breath. Nita realizes appearances can be deceiving and sees through Hunter's gruff exterior. As a friendship begins between them and their physical attraction grows stronger, she can no longer fight her desire for him, no matter how hard she tries. Love has punched her in the heart. This is a tale of earning trust, turning turmoil into triumph, and unlikely love in the heart of the Motor City.
