Second Chance

Championship success risks losing love when an ex resurfaces unexpectedly.

“I know what passion is. It’s the burn in your lungs during the final round, the fierce will to win, the power you grab when you flatten your opponent. But this other kind—the soft, fragile kind they call ‘romance’—is a weakness I swore off. Is this Second Chance supposed to make me drop my guard? I became an indomitable fighter to survive, not to melt for a second chance at a life I outgrew.”

A Staggering Betrayal Impairs Sally’s Fighting Prowess: The stress of her crumbling personal life, specifically the betrayal by Mark, has a direct and serious consequence on her professional career. The betrayal is so significant that it is described as “impairing her once unbeatable fighting prowess,” raising the stakes for her decisive title rematch against Racheal Dawson.
