Announcing Battered Not Broken, My New Contemporary Releasing Dec. 19
Here it is, the new contemporary romance I've been looking forward to announcing today. :)
Ryan Moore forged his own path when he defied his wealthy family’s expectations by joining the United States Marine Corps as an enlisted man. After a period of service that’s cut short by an IED explosion, the lingering physical and mental effects of war result in an isolated struggle to exist in the civilian world. He throws himself into competitive MMA fighting – the one thing he’s still able to excel at, even if every match is a risk he can’t afford to take.
His first encounter with amateur female fighter Ally Rivera ignites a spark of desire he hasn’t felt since before a bomb left its marks on his life and his body, but his flirtation with her turns out to be anything but harmless. She’s struggling to hold together a family ravaged by violence – a feat that isn’t easy when her father has been imprisoned, leaving her vulnerable to relatives who run a local gang. Can two unrelenting fighters overcome challenges they couldn’t defeat alone, or do the wounds of war and crime run too deep for even love to heal?

I'm excited about this book for so many reasons, not least of which is the fact that it's an MMA romance. As a few of you may know (okay, probably only those who took part in or witnessed the great 'man sweat' debate of facebook that one time), I've been involved in multiple forms of martial arts since I was a teen. Mostly just for pleasure and recreation, but I even did a little bit of competitive fighting for extra cash during my college years. So, it was a delight to combine something I know and enjoy and elements of imagination to create this story.
Of course, as the blurb makes clear, there's much more to this story than MMA. This is a long book that deals with multiple issues and elements, all aspects of the story that I truly enjoyed writing about. I can't wait for you to meet Ally, my tough heroine, and Ryan, my latest sexy, tattooed hero.
I've updated my site (www.ranaerose.com) with all the latest info on Battered Not Broken. Sometime before release day, I'll also be posting an excerpt there. And on Wednesday, I'll be here blogging about why I chose to write an MMA romance. See you then!
P.S. On an unrelated but awesome note, I've got a special surprise for my newsletter subscribers this month. The December issue of my newsletter will go out sometime before the 7th and will include a very special feature and giveaway. If you're not a subscriber and would like to be, you can sign up here.
