About Worth Fighting For:
Nothing in Kellen O’Connell’s life has come easy. He knows
better than anyone that if you want something, you better fight for it.
When he finds himself drawn to a feisty kindergarten
teacher, he realizes he’s going to have to fight harder than ever if he wants
to know her secrets.
On the outside, Ali Crawford has it all. The perfect job.
Great friends. A wonderful family. But she has demons, just like everyone else.
There are things she’s never given a voice to, and they are relentlessly
chipping away at her conscience.
Will she have the courage to trust the magnetic, if not
annoyingly infuriating, Kellen with her past? Or will she let it ruin the best
thing she’s ever known, as it turns her into someone she doesn’t even
recognize?
If they can learn to trust each other, they might just find
something worth fighting for.
*Intended for readers 18 years of age and up due to mature
content.
Worth Fighting For is the second book in the Worthy series. This one is Kellen and Ali's story. Ali is a kindergarten teacher with a secret in her past. Kellen is a cop with a lot of past baggage. I didn't know it was part of a series going into it. It holds up very well as a stand alone. I adored this couple and their story. I was sucked right into their romance and was sad to see their story come to a close. The book is really well written with lots of snarky humor and tons of sexual tension. I loved watching their relationship slowly develop and I was so rooting for them. Of course, it isn't a completely easy path as they learn to trust each other and deal with their pasts. But the journey was worth it. I highly recommend this one. I also want to go back and read Worth Holding On which is Mason and Callie's story. I look forward to the next book. Maybe Shelby will get her chance at love next?

Exclusive Excerpt:
While the kids were held captive by one of the men donning a
heavy tan fire suit, Ali felt someone come stand beside her. She glanced to her
right and found Kellen. He seemed much bigger, standing shoulder-to-shoulder
with her, than he had the other day. Ali wouldn’t consider herself short, and
he still had at least six inches on her.
“You doin’ okay?” he whispered, keeping his eyes trained
forward.
“Aces. Why do you ask?”
“Oh, I don’t know. Could have something to do with the pale
skin and choppy breathing. Or maybe it’s the way you’re swaying on your feet.”
Crap.
She hadn’t thought it was so noticeable.
She caught the eye of one of her students who’d turned to
talk to the boy next to him and motioned for him to be quiet and pay attention
before she whispered back, barely moving her lips, “Occupational hazard. I’m
fine.”
“Of course you are, but why don’t you have a seat before you
fall over?”
Ali gritted her teeth. More than a little annoyed that he’d
noticed. Annoyed that she felt like crap. Annoyed that he’d ordered her around.
And annoyed that the pills were barely keeping her on her feet. “I said, I’m fine.”
“Whatever you say, Ali Cat.”
“Excuse me? Did you just call me an alley cat?”
When he didn’t respond, she glanced up at him and found him
completely relaxed, calmly watching the firemen who began taking questions from
the kids.
That only annoyed her further.
“You know, in polite society, people don’t go around
pointing out how crappy someone else looks.”
“And, if you’d retract your claws a little, you’d realize I
never said you looked crappy. I was simply asking if you were feeling okay.”
Double crap.
Ali closed her eyes.
He was right, and she was being a bitch again.
She had ninety more minutes before she could head home and
quarantine herself—and her bitchiness—in a hot bath where she couldn’t infect
anyone else.
But there was something she needed to do first.
“I’m sorry.”
“Accepted,” Kellen easily returned.
“No, not just for today,” she continued. “For last week in
front of the diner. I was snippy that day, too, and you didn’t deserve it then
any more than you deserve it now.”
“Has everyone been graced with your sunny demeanor lately,
or am I just that lucky?”
She huffed out a surprised laugh. “You’ve been luckier than
most.”
“Any particular reason?”
None that she was going to share. “Luck of the draw, I
guess.”
“Fair enough.”
“And I appreciate your concern. Thank you for checking on
me.”
See, I can be nice.
