How hard would you fight for a Christmas Miracle?
Teressa Gutierrez, known as the Cyclone for her unparalleled speed and ferocity, was the most dominant Featherweight champion in the history of women’s mixed martial arts — until a devastating defeat almost ended her career. Everyone thought she was finished, but Teressa refused to give up. A hard-nosed realist who believes in nothing but muscle and courage, she comes to Seattle looking for a miracle: one last shot at glory and redemption. And she’s ready to crush anything that stands in her way.
Cameron Shaw is a struggling novelist who needs a break. When a sports agent friend sets up a gig to cover the big fight, ala Norman Mailer and Ali, Cameron detests the idea but has no choice but to accept.
From the moment these two meet, sparks fly. Worlds apart, they find themselves in the grip of something they can’t resist, something bigger than championships or art. Fate — and the Spirit of the Season — seems to want them together — even if they’re both fighting with every fiber of their being to resist.
