"A more emotional story than GOT A HOLD ON YOU, but just as wonderful and fun to read."

Alexandra Hayes is a publicist who needs a job for the most important reason of all - to save her family. She's a divorced woman, whose ex-husband would love to take away her son. So Alexandra manages to get a job overhauling the image of a pro-wrestler named Loverboy Luke. Luke has the image of an all-around bad-guy in the ring and a womanizing love-'em and leave-'em guy out of the ring. So how does Alexandra plan to change this guy when a secret part of her likes him just the way he is?

Luke hides behind his bad-boy persona and this reputation keeps him safe. But once Alexandra steps in and vows to change him, Luke starts to realize what's missing from his life and that perhaps his heart can withstand the emotional pain he's tried so hard to block out.

In her second book about pro-wrestlers, Ms. White delivers an emotional story about a man whose life took a different course years before. The man he was, the man he is, and the man he can be meet a woman who genuinely cares, and life as Luke knows it will never be the same. RING AROUND MY HEART is a touching story about a pro-wrestler and the feelings and reasons behind his profession. Take a chance on this book - you'll be glad you did.
