The Pickup

After 20 years of knockdown, drag-out bouts, MMA champ Hoyt Daniels put himself out to pasture, retiring to a cabin in the Tennessee Mountains where no one would witness the rest of his decline from his fighting peak. His quiet life of solitude is interrupted by a hot-tempered young man in a beat-up Ford pickup who's got issues with Hoyt's driving. The former pro has no worries about who'd win in a fistfight, but the attraction he feels for "Ford" is a sucker punch he's got no defense against. (21k words, m/m erotic romance)
