Frankie and Nathan

She was forged from pain and honed into steel. Frankie Hughes was the steel that coated the outskirts of a boxing ring. She had the agility of a panther and a past that marred everything that she could have become. Did she allow herself even a second to feel defeated? No. Did she give up on what she thought she would one day become? Yes.

A skilled mixed martial artist was her official title, but after stopping her competitive career and losing sight of her passion, Frankie’s future became a tight knot of indeterminacy. She was honed into excellence, but her talent was wasting away into mere nothingness as she lost sight of who she wanted to become.

When an arrogant boxer strutted into her gym and challenged her in a way she hadn’t before been challenged, a spark within her ignited for the first time in a while. Their egos clashed, but Nathan was different than the people from her past, and that changed everything.

But pasts cannot be forgotten, and Frankie is about to surface once again. She had known for a while that the time was growing near, but there was nothing that could stop the clock - not even the hard-headed boxer who would do anything to protect her.
