Choke Hold (No Holds Barred Book 2)

Once enemies who expressed their feelings through flying fists and bruised egos, Ty Roscoe and Luca Mitchell have traded their rivalry for something far more terrifying: actually being in a relationship.

In this steamy, laugh-out-loud second installment of Eve Holmes's LGBTQ+ MMA sports romance series, No Holds Barred, the octagon is no longer the most dangerous place these two fighters face. With the Ultimate Fighting Championship finally within reach, Ty and Luca are united by a shared dream—but the road to the UFC has a way of exposing every crack in a foundation, no matter how strong it feels.

When Ty returns from injury, his confidence shaken and his future uncertain, he's forced to do the one thing he's always avoided: ask for help. Meanwhile, Luca is still fighting battles outside the cage, defending his choices against a world that doesn't always understand them. Two men who once channeled everything into dominance and competition must now figure out how to hold each other up instead of holding each other back.

Holmes delivers the perfect balance of heart-pounding athletic tension and romantic comedy warmth, proving that loving someone fiercely doesn't mean loving them easily. The push and pull between Ty and Luca crackles with the same electric energy that made their rivalry impossible to look away from—only now, the stakes are so much higher.

Can they fight for each other as hard as they fight for the championship? Readers of Book One won't want to miss finding out.
