Hard Knocks: An Ultimate Novella by Lori Foster is a tie-in prequel novella to her eponymous series of f/m mixed martial arts contemporary romances, free courtesy of publisher Harlequin's HQN imprint.
Apparently, there's a new novella and the 2nd novel in this series coming out in the next few weeks, and thus the freebie-ization of this one.
Currently free @
B&N,
Amazon (available to Canadians),
Kobo &
iTunes &
Google Play (all available to Canadians),
All Romance eBooks (DRM choice of formats available worldwide), and directly from
the publisher's webstore (ADE-DRM ePub available worldwide).
It looks like international Gentle Readers are going to have to pick this up via ARE or the Harlequin mothership, as the edition available outside of North America is out from their daughter-clone Mills & Boon, who aren't currently freebie-ing it, though that could change later.
Description
In the stunning prequel novella to her new mixed martial arts series, New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster brings together an elite fighter and the woman he's determined to win.
Power. Brute strength. Unforgettable moves. It's no wonder Harper Gates hasn't been able to get her fling with Gage "Savage" Ringer out of her head. Months have passed since she laid eyes--or any other body parts--on him. Months without a word of contact...until, sidelined by injury, he comes back to town.
Staying focused on his training seemed like a smart move to Gage, even if he thought about Harper every day. Seeing her again only makes it clear how much is at stake. He's got one night to earn back her trust. One night to show her that behind his breathtaking skill and ripped body is a man who'll give her everything she needs.
Don't miss No Limits, the first novel in Lori Foster's Ultimate series.
