He can defeat anyone in the world.
Except the one woman he was never supposed to want.
Kai Nakamura is a world champion.
On the mat, he’s disciplined, controlled, and nearly untouchable. Off it, he’s a global star with sponsors, cameras, expectations - and a career that can’t afford mistakes.
Maya Levin wants none of that.
She’s spent years trying to escape the world of elite karate, the pressure of her famous father, and the shadow of the man everyone else seems to admire.
Kai is her father’s star student.
He’s also her brother’s best friend.
And now they’re teammates.
Forced together by training camps, international travel, and the relentless demands of competition, Maya and Kai discover something neither of them can control: the attraction between them.
They know the rules.
Don’t date a teammate.
Don’t cross the line with your coach’s daughter.
And absolutely don’t fall for your best friend’s little sister.
But some rules are made to be broken.
Because when the world’s greatest fighter finally meets the one woman who sees the man beneath the champion, walking away may be harder than any fight he’s ever faced.
FULL CONTACT is a high-heat karate sports romance featuring forbidden love, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, a famous athlete, the coach’s daughter, the best friend’s sister, intense chemistry, and championship-level stakes.
