\u201cCallihan and Young teamed up in what can only be described as a winning combo of heavyweight championship proportions. Sexy, sassy and so much fun, Outmatched was a page turner that I wished never ended. I want MORE!\u201d  \u2014 USA Today Bestselling Author T Gephart
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outmatched, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by New York Times bestselling authors Kristen Callihan and Samantha Young, is LIVE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens when a boxer finds chemistry with a geek?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parker Brown can\u2019t believe she needs to hire a fake boyfriend. When she landed her dream job in renewable energy, she thought she\u2019d be entering a world at the forefront of progressive thinking. But the head boss prefers to promote employees who are \u201csettled.\u201d Thankfully, she\u2019s found the perfect candidate, a fellow intellectual looking for some quick cash. What Parker gets is his protective big brother\u2014Rhys Morgan. The tall, muscled ex-boxer with a foul mouth shows up just as her boss does, and now she\u2019s stuck with the manipulative jerk.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsibility weighs heavily on Rhys. Now permanently out of the ring, he\u2019s trying to hold together his late father\u2019s gym and keep his younger brother, Dean, on the straight and narrow. To save Dean from himself, Rhys takes his place, ready to give this society girl a piece of his mind. Instead, he finds an opportunity. Even though they can hardly stand each other, posing as Parker\u2019s boyfriend is a win-win deal. She gets to keep her job, and he\u2019ll charm her star-struck boss into sponsoring his gym.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Problem is, they can barely keep their hands off each other. And what started as an easy deal isn\u2019t so easy anymore. Because what future can a rough ex-boxer, afraid to open his heart, and a polished society geek, who has sworn off real relationships, possibly have?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say opposites attract. These opposites are about to combust on impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Outmatched Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could I put much-needed distance between me and Rhys if I confided deep, emotional history to him? \u201cIt\u2019s not relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it is, if your boy is making such a big deal about it. My guess \u2026 Theo is some rich little f***er who screwed you over. Is that why you don\u2019t have a man? You don\u2019t trust guys \u2019cause of a first love gone bad?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memory of Theo still caused a deep ache in my chest, and Rhys\u2019s supposition left a bad taste in my mouth. \u201cHe died,\u201d I blurted out. \u201cHe was my childhood sweetheart. We grew up in the same town, started dating when we were twelve. He was my first everything.\u201d I turned toward him as he drew to a halt beside me. \u201cI loved him in a way I thought I would get to for the rest of my life. Until one night when we were seventeen, he walked home from a friend\u2019s party, drunk, on a dark country road, and a car hit him. And they left him there to die by the side of the road.\u201d Tears burned in my eyes, but I fought them back. \u201cHe was my best friend \u2026 and then he was just gone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJesus, f*** \u2026\u201d Rhys suddenly pulled me into his arms, and I didn\u2019t stop to think before I rested my head on his chest and slid my arms around his back. \u201cTink, I\u2019m so sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were silent a while, just holding each other in the middle of the street, until I felt his arms tighten. His voice carried softly down to me. \u201cMy best friend died too.\u201d The words sounded torn from him. \u201cI watched him die in a bout. Jake. We grew up together. He was like a brother to me. And \u2026 there was nothing I could do. One minute he was alive \u2026 and the next, I watched the light go out of his eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
