Fight To Win — Selina Coffey

Shelby Wilkes is an independent woman who has never let people define who she is, especially men, by her size. She has been a bigger girl her whole life, but has always been blessed with an unshakeable confidence that most would kill for. When she meets the sexy and enigmatic Aaron Davis while walking her dog one day, she thinks he is just another guy who thinks she might be an easy target. Well, he is in for a surprise, because Shelby is anything but that. In the past Shelby has chosen to play hard to get to the extreme, turning the whole thing into a sexy and fun game, but as she nears her thirties she has started to reevaluate her life and past relationships. She is starting to feel that maybe she isn't really just trying to weed out the winners from the losers when it comes to men, but maybe she is really just trying to keep up the wall she has constructed around herself to protect a fragile heart. When she meets Aaron, she quickly realizes he could be somebody very special, and this sends Shelby into a tailspin of fear and self-doubt. Will she open the door to let him in? Or will she allow her fear to push away the best thing that might ever happen to her? Shelby Wilkes is about to learn that sometimes a heart has to be uncaged… Author's note: This is a standalone with a HEA, no cliff-hanger.
