Cocky Contender is a fun, steamy, read with a bit of angst and suspense thrown in. The ending will leave you smiling for days.

Marco and Mila are both instantly attracted to each other but dangerous secrets threaten to keep them apart, possibly forever. Marco must make a desperate sacrifice to ensure their future.

Marco is a great male character: he’s protective without being overbearing. He’s funny and flirtatious without being cheesy. He’s caring and loves his family.

Mila is escaping a scary situation and has a lot of secrets but she’s able to put it all aside and love Marco fully.

Aside from the scorching hot love story with elements of angst and suspense there’s a nice story of family and friends who support you.
