Lily Parker has always been a flight risk. First a runaway teen, then a runaway bride. Now she's landed in Chicago with a new name and ready for a new start as a woman without a past. She even has a new job as social media manager of a Mixed Martial Arts gym. New Lily runs Lake Michigan’s sand dunes, chases drinks with her bestie in her popular “Get Ready With Me” videos, and drops the filter when she gets real with her followers. But never too real. Some parts of her past are too painful—and dangerous—to share.  

 

Kieran Sullivan learned from a young age to roll with the punches. After retiring from the pro fighting circuit, he’s settled into a routine which includes coaching at his home gym, South Side MMA, and keeping his teen brother out of trouble and away from their abusive father. But when his boss hires a silly influencer to promote the gym and his team, Kieran finds himself facing an opponent he can’t match. Lily’s as determined as she is beautiful and no amount of evasion can save him from her camera lens. And somehow, she’s strong-armed him into doing a self-defense demonstration video with her.

 

The video goes viral and Hit It users are hooked on their on-screen chemistry, but their boss has a strict No Dating Coworkers policy. With each new video, the gym’s follower count increases and the tension between them builds until they agree to a situationship behind the scenes. But falling in love wasn’t part of the plan, and Kieran and Lily must find a way to reconcile their feelings with the fears from their past before their insecurities make them forfeit a love worth fighting for.
