Yielding to Duke by Elektra King
Can she trust again?
Alexa is the locum ringside doctor for an MMA tournament that is featuring the first man she had ever loved and had given her virginity to ten years ago; the very same man who left the morning after without a word and who she hadn’t seen since. Although her head is reminding her of all the reasons she shouldn’t get involved, her body betrays her resolve.
He’s fighting for her heart.
Duke had no choice but to leave ten years ago; something he’d regretted for a long time and felt he had missed his chance. Seeing Alexa again stirs up old desires that he can’t ignore. Even though she may hate him, she responds to his touch.
Will one wild night be the closure that they need to walk away and forget each other? Or will their insatiable desire for each other be forever etched into their souls?
This is a short story that contains heavy sexual language and a HEA.

What inspired you to write your book?
These two characters were floating around in my head. Bits of their life and dialogue were appear out of nowhere so I decided to write about them.
Here is a short sample from the book:
I couldn’t tell her I was leaving town for good tonight. My heart bled at the thought of never seeing her again, never seeing her sweet smile that warmed me from the inside out, never holding her close to me again and never being able to taste her lips.
“Baby?” She broke me out of my brooding thoughts. “You ok?”
I looked at her in silence, my eyes memorising every detail of her beautiful face as we sat across from each other in the diner. I hated the fact that our last meal together was in such a cheap place. She was born into a wealthy family, had eaten in five-star restaurants since she’d started eating solids and here she was sitting in a roach infested dive cause her boyfriend was too dirt poor to take her out for a proper meal.
Yet she had never complained and that thought alone made me feel all the more shit.
Her hand reached up to my jaw, her delicate fingers cupping the side of my face while her thumb stroked my cheek, concern reflected in the depths of her beautiful green eyes. I smiled at her as I covered her hand with my own, holding it in place as I closed my eyes and leaned my head into her palm.
“You were a million miles away,” she said without realising the sting those words carried. I will be miles away tomorrow. And she would hate me.
