No Limits

A surprise inheritance reunites a mixed martial arts fighter with the woman he’s never forgotten in the first in a smoldering new series from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster

Cannon Colter is quintessential hero material: chiseled jawline, shredded body—the works. He’s also the guy who rescued Yvette Sweeny from kidnappers, only to put an end to her romantic dreams. These days, she’s older, smarter, determined to face whatever life throws her way. Even the prospect of sharing a house and business with Cannon.

Cannon knew Yvette wanted him three years ago. But she was young—and some things are worth waiting for. Thrown together by her grandfather’s legacy, he realizes how deep Yvette’s scars really go, and how much danger lurks in their quiet town. As pent-up desire explodes between them, protecting her becomes the only fight that matters. And he’ll break all the rules to do it….

Dear Reader,

I’m beyond thrilled to return to the world of MMA—mixed martial arts—in my new Ultimate series. No Limits is Cannon’s story—you might recognize him from my previous Love Undercover series. And while you’ll see a few familiar faces from that series making cameos here, you’ll also meet all-new characters who I hope you’ll love!

Anyone who follows me on Facebook and Twitter knows that I’m a big UFC fan. Love the sport, respect the fighters, and I’m always intrigued by how such big, capable, lethal and motivated guys can not only fit romance into their training and travel schedules, but are also loving husbands and fathers.

The Ultimate series is not about fighting. It’s about fighters, aka alpha heroes. It’s about romance. It’s about love.

I hope you enjoy No Limits! Feel free to let me know. You can always reach me via social media, or email me using the links on my website at www.lorifoster.com. And if you missed Hard Knocks, the prequel novella introducing the Ultimate series, it’s available now wherever ebooks are sold.

Happy reading!

CHAPTER ONE

COILED TIGHT WITH TENSION, Cannon sat in the leather chair and faced the lawyer’s desk with loaded impatience. From head to toe, his battered body ached, but at present his mind focused on less-physical issues. After finally landing back in the States, he’d planned to spend the day in the hot tub, and the night in bed—with enough female company to help him forget how close he’d come to losing his last fight.

Three days ago he’d taken on the biggest challenge of his career, his most publicized bout on the main card for the Supreme Battle Championship—in Japan with a packed house and a lot of expectation from the organization.

Though he’d taken plenty of hits himself, he’d been beating his opponent on points...and then he’d fucked up.

After catching a kick to the liver, he’d lost his air, bent double in excruciating pain, and was going down. Only pure instinct had helped him throw one last punch when his opponent had charged in for the kill.

That punch had landed dead center on the Pit Bull’s glass jaw. Lights out.
