An up-and-coming MMA fighter wants more than just one night
from a woman fleeing her past in Lori’s irresistible new novel.
Heavyweight fighter Denver Lewis plays real nice, but he
doesn’t share. That’s why he’s been avoiding top-notch flirt Cherry Peyton. But
a man can only resist those lush curves for so long. Their encounter surpasses
all his fantasies, bringing out protective urges that Cherry’s about to need
more than she knows…
Denver’s combination of pure muscle and unexpected
tenderness has been driving Cherry wild. Yet no sooner does she get what she’s
been craving than old troubles show up on her doorstep. And this time, Cherry
can’t hide behind a carefree façade. Because the man by her side is one who’ll
fight like hell to keep her safe…if only she’ll trust him enough to let him…

“Holding Strong will have you holding
your breath while burning fingers quickly turn the pages.”
“…a fun and sexy read. It has a touch of suspense to it as
well to keep the pace of the story going along.”
“The men of Foster’s Ultimate series may be powerful
fighters, but they are all heart, and none more so than the hero of this
installment. His unwavering support for his feisty, frightened heroine redeems
them both in time, but it is their searing chemistry that will hold readers’
attention.”
“Foster…manages to keep characters evolving throughout the
course of a novel, becoming true ‘heroes’ by the time ‘The End’ rolls around.”
Twisting
around, he forgot all about harassing his friend—which had probably been
Armie’s intent. But damn, he hadn’t lied. Denver watched Cherry laughingly
refuse an insistent guy bent on gaining her cooperation. The slow, thrumming
music would have meant a different type of dance and Denver let out a breath
when she didn’t give in.
Seeing her
body to body with another man, this time someone he didn’t know, would have
made him nuts.
Stack sat to
one side of her, also watching the idiot who refused to take no for an answer.
To her other
side, Miles started to frown. Suddenly Cherry pushed back her chair and an ugly
tension sank
into Denver’s chest—until she grabbed up her purse and made a hasty getaway
toward the restrooms. When the idiot started to follow, Miles blocked his way
while Stack spoke close to his ear. Whatever he said made loverboy frown and
search the bar.
It wasn’t
until his gaze clashed with Denver’s that he gave up and stalked away—in the
opposite
direction
that Cherry had gone.
Smiles
quirking, Stack and Miles both saluted Denver, then went back to their table
and the other women there.
He was
wondering what Stack had said when Armie shoved him, and Denver almost dropped
off his seat. Righting himself, he muttered, “What the fuck?” and shoved Armie
back. But since Armie wasn’t daydreaming as Denver had been, he barely budged.
Snickering,
Armie shook his head. “Damn man, get it together or go after her.”
