A fighter. A lover. One ultimate matchup where love just might be the main event. Former boxing champion Janna Fresno trades her belt for a boxing gym in her sleepy hometown. She'll go toe-to-toe with anyone, but can't figure out how to knock out a six-figure business loan. Enter Blake Knox, professional impulse follower, video app darling, and antagonizer of one famous Irish boxer. His ever-running mouth means he needs to learn how to box to save face. And fast. The only person willing (and desperate) enough to train him? Janna. It's love at first sight for Blake, a contender for her heart. Janna's unimpressed at his chaos and camera antics. But round after round, she finds his goofiness and surprising dedication begin to punch cracks in her defenses. Can Blake go the distance as a boxer? Will Janna lower her guard enough to let him in? Love Against the Ropes is a romantic comedy with heart, haymakers, and hilariously bad decisions. This closed-door romance stays above the belt, and can be read as a standalone.
