Endless Beauty by Lisa Helen Gray

Harriett
Harriett is my name.
Candy is my stage name…
And I’m a stripper.
Yeah, you heard that right.
Stripping might not be my life-long goal, but I love what I do. I’m not down on my luck, nor do I have daddy issues.
Strippers aren’t the cliché people make them out to be. At least, me and my friends aren’t.
Life is meant to be lived, and I intend to live it to the fullest.
Which is why when I meet him, I make a wager.
If we meet again, we can continue where we left off.
I never thought I’d see him again.
And much less at Tease, the strip club I work at.
Now I need him to look beneath the pretty exterior and see the endless beauty inside.

River
River is my name.
Rampage is my calling card…
And I’m a fighter. A damn good one.
For years I’ve been splitting skin beneath my knuckles, collecting victory after victory.
Until one night, I meet her.
She left me standing on the pavement, watching her tail lights disappear.
I never thought I’d see her again…
Until one night.
One chance encounter.
Now I have the biggest fight of my life.
Keeping her.
I have a dark past, secrets I want kept buried, and scars that run deeper than any wound an opponent could inflict.
But I never back down from a fight.
And for the first time, I have something worth fighting for.
Her.
