Chasing A Legend by Sarah Robinson | RELEASE DAY & EXCERPT REVEAL!
Synopsis:
A topnotch manager and agent, Quinn Kavanagh pictures a life outside of his family's renowned MMA gym. Beneath his sleek exterior, Quinn has a secret passion for sculpting. But after a nearly fatal motorcycle accident, he's struggling just to walk again, let alone get back to the studio-- and it doesn't help that the doctor in charge of his physical therapy is his childhood crush. Quinn's always ready for a fight, but the bittersweet string of unrequited love has him begging for mercy.
Dr. Kiera Finley is determined to make her medical residency a success. Six years ago, she gave in and shared a single passionate night with Quinn. Now she's just hoping the cocky lover from her past doesn't derail her plans for the future. Little by little, though, Kiera gets to know another side of Quinn. She knew he was a family man, devoted to his parents and brothers, but he's also a free spirit trapped in a cage-- and only she has the key. To heal both Quinn's body and soul, Kiera's tempted to give him a special kind of medicine.

"He just smiled, watching her walk around different pieces in the room, surveying everything slowly and meticulously. One entire wall was filled with broken down motorcycles, another with shelves filled with tools, and his giant metal statues were dispersed throughout the center of the floor.
The fascination in her eyes, the smile on her lips- he drank it in eagerly. There was an unexpected pride in his gut as he saw each of his pieces as if for the first time, through her gaze.
'Are all of these made out of motorcycle parts?' she called to him from the other side of the room as he leaned against the wall.
'Mostly, but there's glass and other sheet metals thrown in here and there, too.'
The statue she was standing by now was of woman pushing out of a wave that looked to be drowning her. He loved this piece because, depending on the angle it was viewed from, the waves were something different- hands choking her, tears swallowing her, a rush of love consuming her. It was how he'd pictured Kiera- so overwhelmed with everything her future had to offer that she'd completely missed him standing there, wanting her, wanting to tackle that future with her.
A silly thought, he knew, but he wondered if she saw that. She stood longer at that statue than any of the others, one arm around her waist, and the other under her chin.
He walked over to her, careful not to let his cane hit any of the pieces. 'What do you think?' he asked once he was alongside her.
She didn't say anything at first, but he heard her sniffing.
'Keeks?' he slid the backs of his fingers down her cheek, turning her chin to face him. 'Why are you crying?'
A small tear had trailed down her face, but she was smiling, and he could not have been more confused. 'Quinn, this is so beautiful. Your work, your art... it's masterful. It's emotional and painful and uplifting. Everything art should be.'
Heat rose in his cheeks, unaccustomed to such praise, particularly since only one person in the entire world knew about his hobby, and she was standing here in front of him crying over it.
Kiera circled his waist with one of her arms, leaning her head against his shoulder. A simple, comforting pose that they'd been in hundreds of times over the years before, but it felt heavier now. More meaningful.
He kissed the top of her head and squeezed her back, and just stared at the sculpture for a little while longer."
