Then Jezebel Ekas walks into his life—an American MMA fighter with knockout looks and the kind of presence that makes a man reconsider his ways. For the first time ever, Archie wants more than just a fling. There’s just one problem: his past has caught up with him in the form of a rare, undiagnosed, and deeply inconvenient STI. FREE – SHOP NOW /
