The Opening Bell

by J.B. Garner

When Leilana Ito wanted to continue her family's legacy in the wrestling ring, her father adamantly refused to let her proceed. Unable to deny the fighting spirit in her heart, Leilana did the unthinkable and defied her father's wishes, having no idea what terrible series of events she had begun.

Dana Harding was in the twilight of her wrestling career, striving for one last chance at glory in the regional circuit. Juggling two children and the hard life of the road, Dana had one last chance to win championship gold and thought she would do anything to attain that.

Now, the rookie with an unknown past hunting her and the veteran heel with nothing to lose are about to meet in the ring. Their clash will bind them and wrap them up in corporate machinations, family rivalries, and secrets of the past coming back to life to threaten both women and everything they hold dear.
