All In

My name is Raven, and I am a survivor. After escaping a life that left me broken and distrustful, I've built walls around my heart no man could ever breach. I was content with my quiet existence, focusing on my work and my small circle of friends—until he walked into the bar. Kade is everything I should avoid. A professional fighter with a dangerous aura, he's used to getting what he wants. And for reasons I can't understand, he wants me. His pursuit is relentless, breaking down my defenses one by one. He sees the pain I try to hide and the strength I don't know I have. He challenges me, pushes me, and makes me feel alive in a way I never thought possible. But the ghosts of my past are never far behind, threatening to destroy the fragile trust we're building. Kade says he's all in, that he'll fight for us. But when my worst fears become reality, I have to make a choice: let my past define me forever, or find the courage to fight alongside him for a future I never dared to dream of. This is a story about learning to trust, to love, and to risk everything for the one person who makes you believe you're worth it.
