Double Dare (Devil's Fighters MC #3)

Alyssa finds herself caught up deep in Xavier’s world
The answer to her unasked question eight years ago has Alyssa struggling to hold onto a shred of normality in her past. But what’s worse, now that Xavier has been ordered by the Devil’s Fighters to enter into a fight to the death with the toughest underground fighter in the state, Alyssa believes that her joys are about to turn to ashes in her mouth.

Xavier is forced into a choice he doesn’t want to make
He wanted a way out, he wanted to be with Alyssa without thoughts of the ring looming over him or thoughts of facing a man with a reputation for killing his opponents in the ring. But Xavier knows that the only chance he has of cutting his ties with the Devil’s Fighters is to do the one thing he’s best at.

One final chance to undo the mistakes of the past.
Can Xavier find a way to beat the unbeatable odds mounting against him? Can Alyssa risk having her heart broken for good? Will they find a way to be with each other at last and build a future together? Or will it all come crashing down in the blood-soaked ring run by the Devil’s Fighters?

EXCERPT

“I love you,” he said.

He said it in a different way than usual. Despite his best efforts to open up to her—old habits die hard—and Xavier was always somewhat guarded—even around Alyssa, even when he was baring his feelings. Not this time. This time, he was open and naked in more than the physical sense. This time, he was unguarded.

Alyssa’s heart swelled.

“I love you, too,” she declared easily. Because that was the thing when it came to admitting her love with Xavier…it was as easy as breathing. “Please, don’t get yourself killed tonight.”

Xavier smiled. He reached over and pulled her close to him. He kissed the top of her head like he used to do when they were teenagers, as they lay on Alyssa’s bed in her bedroom. “I’ll do my best.”
