About the books
#GIRLFIGHT” is an emotional journey of self-discovery, healing, and love. The realistic rite of passage story takes place in and around South Shore towns, particularly Bayport. Recently, Readers’ Favorite awarded the novel a 5-Star review.

Jayden Jones, her small town’s first female wrestler, finds her once strong career aspirations uprooted. Jayden’s finding it difficult to keep the promise she made to her deceased father to stay in New York and finish her law degree while her boyfriend is becoming a celebrity on a Las Vegas-based Mixed Martial Arts reality show. Distracted by her loneliness and envy that he’s able to continue fighting competitively, Jayden flies to Vegas to try out for the same MMA show.

But when she arrives, she finds her boyfriend wrestling with the show’s most popular female fighter—Naked. A fight between the three of them gets Jayden banned from the show.

Jayden goes back to her Long Island hometown, followed by a viral media storm that turns her world upside down and offers her the opportunity to confront her ex’s new partner in the octagon. She seeks help training for the fight from former wrestling teammate, Cooper McCaffrey — her first love and her first heartbreak. Being home stirs up unresolved conflicts with her estranged mother and sister, but with her eye on the ring, Jayden learns how to slow down, to listen and understand those around her, and learn how to love and be loved, finding a deeper courage, other than the kind she needs to step into the octagon.
