A fighter afraid to fight. A rich boy now poor. Their paths crossing at the most critical times. Haley has fraught in the ring for as long as she remembers and remembers the way it felt to let everything go and focus on the other person standing in front of her. But something kicks her down and makes her lose her momentum and fight to win. West is hot headed and loyal brother however its his past actions and disobedience that saw him and his trust fund fly away. Learning to live off scraps of food and working to support himself is all an eye-opener to West who takes it on in a heart beat and reshapes his future into a man he can be proud of. Their relationship builds from sparring partners to more and contains the usual number of fights and protective instincts that leads the reader from page 1. Take Me On is part of a collaborative line that interlinks with other stories written by Katie McGarry and is truly an inspiration of friendships, love and fighting for what you believe in.
