Book Launch for Sparring Partners with Author(s) Erin Rose​

Gloves off. And hands on. We’re throwing down for a hometown author duo and the launch of their hottest book yet.

Join us for a high-energy release party celebrating Erin Rose’s Sparring Partners, a forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers, age gap sports romance where a Gen Z content creator collides with a brooding MMA coach and the internet cannot look away.

About the book
When Lily Parker takes a job as content creator for a scrappy South Side MMA gym, she’s chasing a fresh start and trying to save the gym. What she’s not prepared for is Kieran Sullivan, the scarred, tatted, emotionally unavailable coach who treats her like the enemy. A viral video forces them into a fake-friendly situationship for the cameras, and suddenly the internet is obsessed with their will-they-won’t-they tension.

Sometimes the only thing separating love from hate is knowing exactly who your opponent really is.

About the authors
The Erin Rose writing duo met in high school and began writing together as a creative outlet and a way to process tough feelings. Their romances blend heat with heart, centering characters navigating CPTSD, addiction recovery, and second chances. Now adults with husbands and kids, Rose is a high school English teacher and Erin is a stay-at-home mom. Both use she/her pronouns. Rose identifies as bisexual and Erin is demisexual.

*SIGNED* Sparring Partners by Erin Rose

$18.99

When a Gen Z content creator meets a brooding MMA coach, they are the hottest thing on the mat in this forced-proximity, enemies-to-lovers sports romance for fans of Nikki Castle and Elle Kennedy. 


Gloves off. 


And hands on...


When things get hard, some choose "flight..."


It's been a year since Lily Parker fled to Chicago, hoping to lose herself among millions of people. Becoming the new content creator for a South Side MMA gym isn't just a fresh start or a new job--it's a chance to save the gym and help women protect themselves. But while the gorgeous, scarred and tatted-up MMA coach has marked Lily as an enemy, there's definitely something spicy between them... 


He chooses "fight."


Kieran Sullivan only knows how to use his fists. His body is a testament to survival and protecting those he loves--and that does not include the gym's newest employee. But when a video goes viral, Kieran and Lily must play nice in front of the cameras to keep the gym's fans happy. Now the internet is obsessed with their scorching, will-they-or-won't-they chemistry. 


Sometimes, the only thing that separates love from hate is knowing exactly who your opponent really is. 


Sparring Partners is a spicy, fast-paced romance you can read in one sitting. 


Erin Rose is the pen name of co-authors/best friends Katie Erin and Katie Rose. Lovers of all things Romance and advocates for mental health, you can expect to find hard-won happily ever afters in their stories. They currently live in Shepherdstown, WV, with their respective husbands, children, and dogs.
