SPARRING PARTNER: Romance. Murder. Cassidy Daniels has her hands full.

Cassidy Daniels got into Tae Kwon Do to learn how to protect herself physically, but no one taught her how to protect her heart. Given that most of her relationships self-destruct at around six months and she's just broken up with her boyfriend, it's understandable that she's leery of starting a new relationship with her friend and martial arts instructor Nick Barnes.

When Cassidy uncovers what she thinks is evidence of a murder on the martial arts school property and then becomes the target of the perpetrator, Cassidy discovers just how well she can take care of herself, both body and soul, and that taking chances sometimes pays off. Will she take a chance on love if it can lead to the perfect relationship she's been seeking?
