Chance Series
Untapped talent fighting prejudice for love in the boxing ring.
The Judgment POV: "I see the flicker of embarrassment in Mark's eyes when I step into the ring—as if I'm the scandal, not my passion. He loves me, but he despises the fighter. I'm fighting for my life in here, but the real battle is fighting his prejudice outside the ropes. Is his love strong enough to withstand my ambition?"
The Insecurity and Passion POV: "I've trained for months, bled for this ring, yet one disapproving look from Mark can still make the old, insecure girl resurface. I crave his approval, but I need this feeling of victory. If he truly loves me, why does he keep asking me to trade my gloves for a lie? The roar of the crowd is sweeter than his silence."
The Ultimatum POV (Focused on the Ex-Girlfriend): "His ex-girlfriend floats around, poised and polished, everything Mark thinks a woman should be. She's a constant reminder of the life I'm expected to abandon. It’s not just a boxing match; it’s a fight for my identity against his ideal woman. Will I win his heart only to lose my soul?"
A Wallflower's Shocking Transformation into a Boxer: The most intriguing element is Sally's life-altering pivot from a woman feeling trapped in "solitude and dissatisfaction" to an unexpected, gifted boxer. The intrigue lies in discovering the source of this hidden, aggressive talent and how her passion for a brutal sport unlocks the courage she lacked in her former, quieter life.
Readers of Leon M. A. Edwards's Chance Series 1: By Chance will be drawn into a compelling and emotional contemporary sports romance that deeply explores the themes of self-discovery, the fight for acceptance, and the power of embracing an authentic life.
The book focuses on Sally, a woman initially living a quiet life of dissatisfaction, who finds a radical new identity in the world of boxing. Readers will experience the exhilaration of her untapped talent suddenly flourishing, providing a powerful inspirational journey of a character breaking free from being a "wallflower" to becoming a passionate, driven fighter.
Beyond the intensity of the boxing ring, the novel delivers a sweet and steamy friends-to-lovers narrative with Mark, the man who sparks hope in Sally’s life. However, this romance is immediately fraught with high emotional conflict. Readers will be captivated by the central dilemma: Mark is smitten by Sally, yet struggles with feelings of embarrassment and prejudice toward her chosen career.
This conflict drives the narrative, forcing Sally into an agonizing decision: Should she sacrifice her newfound passion for a "well-paid job" and the security of their relationship, or should she stand firm in her identity, risking their love? The story is enhanced by the introduction of an ex-girlfriend, who adds external pressure and obstacles, escalating the battle for Mark’s heart.

It is a story of resilience, where both characters are forced to grow: Sally to defend her self-worth, and Mark to "confront his own biases and insecurities." The book promises to leave readers breathless and cheering for Sally's ultimate victory in both the physical and emotional battles, demonstrating that true love must be strong enough to withstand the embrace of one's whole self.
