Katy Evans's heart-wrenching New Adult novel has its rabid fanbase giving up their previous "book boyfriends" in droves for the next Fifty Shades.

Brooke Dumas has reinvented herself after a shattered Olympic dream and is now a sports rehab specialist. Dragged to watch an underground fight by her best friend, Melanie, she never expected her life would change when she met Remington Tate "Riptide" - a famous underground fighter who has danger written all over him. Given his reputation, she's convinced he's only interested in a one night stand when he summons her backstage but he hires her as his sports rehab specialist instead. Traveling together, Brooke's physical and emotional attraction to the enigmatic Remy tests her boundaries. She wants him more than she's wanted anything in her life, but he's holding off for more than the casual sex she's ready to give him. He wants something real, but first Brooke needs to know every part of him--even the dark secret he'd prefer to keep hidden.

"A rare mix of fevered obsession and gentle enchantment, REAL is a visceral and addicting debut."
