Description
Love on the Ropes follows Mackenzie “Mack” Siler, a professional wrestler reeling from the death of her best friend, who is determined to honor her memory by helping the three orphaned children she left behind. When a letter asks her for a favor, Mack shows up at the Lee household, only to face Tae—her old connection from college who now has more on his plate than anyone realizes. As the newly appointed guardian to his niece and nephews, Tae is barely holding it together, and the last thing he needs is Mack stirring up old feelings he thought he’d buried.
No-spice readers who enjoy heartfelt, character-driven romance, stories about grief and healing, and found-family dynamics will likely enjoy this book. It blends gentle humor, emotional depth, and a slow-burn reconnection with a focus on love, hope, and the courage it takes to start over.
