About this eBook

A Publishers Weekly Top Ten Pick for Romance & Erotica

He scared me. He thrilled me. And after one touch, all I could think about was getting more...

Makayla never thought she'd set foot in an elite mixed martial arts club. But if anyone needs a medic on hand, it's these guys. Then again, at her first sight of the club's owner, she's the one feeling breathless.

The man they call Torment is all sleek muscle and restrained power. Whether it's in the ring or in the bedroom, he knows exactly when a soft touch is required and when to launch a full-on assault. He always knows just how far he can push. And he's about to tempt Makayla in ways she never imagined...

Praise for Sarah Castille's Redemption series:

"Smart, sharp, sizzling and deliciously sexy."—Alison Kent, bestselling author of Unbreakable

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely addictive & fun. Makayla is such a fun character with a no-bars-hold attitude, but has a secret that she can't keep hidden for long. Torment is one amazing control freak, but his over protectiveness is endearing & his past is also a private matter that never gets spoken of. Together these 2 create friction, electricity & passion. Can't wait to read from more of the guys at Redemption.

I feel like it was missing something and had so much potential to be better. It has the emotional, possessive, protective bad boy and it has the cute girl but I think I compared it to another book that I love. I have been looking for another book similar to my favorite book and so far this has been close. It kind of dragged on, had unrealistic side stories that were not meaningful to the book and nothing really climactic happened. Overall, an ok book.

My ultimate love crush for this couple. They set Redemption alight and I loved their journey to love
