Defying the odds By Kele Moon



When struggling waitress Melody Dylan gives a handsome, lonely stranger a simple gift she has no clue her life is about to take a drastic turn.

The stranger ends up being Clay Powers, a famous UFC heavyweight fighter. Clay’s large build and dangerous fists have always intimidated. People in his hometown keep their distance and Clay is fine with that. Everything changes when a new waitress at the local diner buys him a piece of pie on Thanksgiving. Touched by the gesture when it’s obvious she can barely afford to survive, her warm smile and lush body churn up powerful feelings that leave Clay wanting more from her than pie.

Melody is running from her past and the small, country town of Garnet is the perfect hiding place. With an ex-husband after her and scars from her abusive marriage etched deep, the last thing she expects is to fall for a man who makes a living with his fists, but she can’t resist Clay or the tender connection they share.

Finding love in the most unlikely of places, the passion is undeniable, but Clay and Melody know their haunted pasts and unpredictable futures leave the odds stacked against them.

Melody is a struggling waitress. She's on the run from her abusive ex-husband. It doesn't elaborate on that as much as I would have liked really. 
Straight off we can tell what kind of woman Melody is from the first scene. She's working double shifts, struggling to make enough money to live off, yet when she sees the lone stranger by himself on thanksgiving she buy's him a piece of pie.
Clay touched by her buying a piece of pie struggles through eating it just to appease her. 

I loved Clay because he wasn't one of those UFC champions that are all about women, sex, women, money, sex and sex. He actually wants the connection between himself and another woman. 
It's why I find it so sweet when the two find an uncanny bond together.
