The Lady And The Wild

Synopsis

The first time the reckless heiress Claire Stark laid eyes on Evan Holt, he was in a pool of blood on the floor of an underground fight club. His face was a mask of red, and three of his ribs were broken. But he had his teeth sunk into his opponent's leg, refusing to let go. The crowd jeered, calling him suicidal. From her private box above, Claire swirled her wine, a slow smile playing on her lips. She pointed a single finger. "I want him." She signed Evan, took him in, and sculpted him with the best coaches and nutritionists. Evan clawed his way out of the gutter to become the brightest new star under the spotlight. On the winner's podium, he offered the golden championship belt to her, his eyes burning with a fierce light. "Claire," he said, "my life is yours." Claire simply smiled, gently plucking the cigarette from between his lips. "You should smoke less," she murmured. "It's bad for your lungs."
