Bare Knuckle

Eric Donaghue, a fighter pilot known as "Kisser," has not been the same since a plane crash nearly killed him. As a captain, he spends his days trying to rebuild his nerve in the cockpit. At night, he fights as a boxer in off-Strip bouts to earn the prize money that will pay for his younger brother's third stint in rehab.

Eric's face once drew women into one-night affairs, but his scars have changed that, and nobody in the ring cares about it. He is there to win. Still, his attention keeps drifting to the new ring girl, a blonde who looks like a glamorous pageant queen.

Vegas showgirl Trish Monroe has hit a rough patch, but she has not given up on the spotlight. The scarred, hard-eyed loner who watches her from his corner gives her an extra reason to show off. Curiosity and a casual, no-strings arrangement draw them together. When they discover their private desires, she likes to be seen and he likes to watch, and what began as simple attraction becomes an intense exploration of shared appetites. They suit each other well, but trusting someone with your heart is harder than trusting them in bed, and both of them are hiding things, even from themselves.

The book is a Sin City-style Beauty and the Beast love story with plenty of explicit photos and videos, adrenaline-pumped base jumping, and a set of note cards marked as very important. Its fighter pilot is also described as incredibly attractive.
