Overview

Harley Handley was the undefeated featherweight women’s MMA champion. WAS. Until I came along. The night we met on the boardwalk was nothing short of fate. I was homeless. Hopeless. Living day to day, just trying to survive. Aspirations were out of the question. I just didn’t want to end up dead under a bridge somewhere. My upbringing made me tough as nails. My lifestyle choices forced me to be a fighter. I learned a long time ago nobody would take me seriously unless I could throw a punch. I saw what happened to women who couldn’t defend themselves out here. I wasn’t going to be another statistic. I had no idea who she was until she invited me to her hotel room. I had no idea that MMA fighting was really even a thing. I just liked the way she made me feel, the way she didn’t look at me like some piece of trash drifter. Our connection was instant, our lust burned red hot, and for the first time in my life, I felt like I had a mentor. Then life happened. Fast, violent, unexpectedly… we were no longer friends with benefits… we were enemies, competitors. She had a title to defend. I had a promise to myself that I would do whatever it took to escape my past.
