Beyond the Limit
Book Summary
An intense and forbidden love story between two opposing worlds. Ryan Hess, a young boxer fleeing a stormy past in Texas, arrives in Mexico with a single goal: to focus on his sport and keep a low profile. However, his plans fall apart when he meets Dalia Sandoval, the spoiled daughter of an influential lawyer—brilliant and diligent, but who has never felt as alive as when she is near him. Between the boxing ring and social prejudice, their attraction becomes a flame impossible to extinguish.
What is it about?
Ryan Hess has left behind Texas and a stepfather he hates to pursue his dream of becoming a professional boxer in Mexico. His plan is to stay on the sidelines, train hard, and avoid trouble. But Dalia Sandoval, the daughter of one of the most powerful lawyers in the country, crosses his path. She is everything he is not: privileged, perfect, and with a bright future laid out by her family. Despite their social differences and the fact that both know they should stay away, the chemistry between them is explosive. The novel explores their internal struggle against their feelings, the external obstacles trying to keep them apart, and how love can defy any limit, even those they impose on themselves.
