Chaz Brookshire was at the top of his game as the reigning MMA champion in his weight class. Life was good - fame, fortune, easy women - and he was looking forward to the next step. When the elderly driver had a heart attack and hit him head-on the morning after his title match, he thought his life was over.

Now, two years later and nearly seventy-five pounds heavier thanks to inactivity while he recovered, he has found that the fame, money, and women have gone by the wayside. Determined to at least reclaim his health, he joins a local gym owned by the Kleist family.

Cooper Kleist hasn't had it easy - at fifteen, she survived cancer that ended her Olympic dreams. Now twenty-four, she works at the family gym, teaching gymnastics to little ones. Genetics and medications keep her a curvy girl, but she's happy to be alive and treats everyone who walks in as if they were a member of her family. After watching how she interacts with others, Chaz finally works up the nerve to ask her out.

As he regains his former physique, will he stay with Cooper? Will his love be unconditional?
