Widower.

Single father.

Notorious womaniser.

Ethan Brooks is one of the most violent men I have ever laid eyes on.

When I accepted the job to look after his daughter, the last thing I expected was to fall in love with everything I despise.

My heart belongs to the hottest guy in MMA and that can only mean one thing...

I'm going to get my heart broken (again).

Timid.

Naive.

Hopeless Romantic.

Mia Cooper is kind, caring and everything that I am not.

When I invited her into my home, I didn't realise that she would be the best thing to happen to this family since my wife.

I can't get her out of my head and I'll do anything to protect her.

But as much as it kills me, there is no way we can ever be together.

Local Mixed Martial Artist to return to octagon two years after tragic death of wife.

MMA star Ethan Brooks is said to be returning to the octagon for the first time since the tragic death of his wife two and a half years ago.

His return will mark 33-year-old Brooks' bid for the light heavyweight championship against old team-mate and long-time rival Lucas Stone.

The former interim champion posted a heartfelt message on his Instagram describing his feelings ahead of his return.

His social media post read: 'Currently in talks with VFL trying to agree terms for my return. It's been two years since I last stepped into the octagon and put on a show for you guys; but two years ago, my world fell apart in the worst possible way.'

'The memories of that last fight have been tarnished. What should have been an event to celebrate, turned into the worst day of my life when I found out that Samantha was gone.'

'Fighting didn't matter to me anymore, the only thing I cared about was my gorgeous baby girl, which is why I gave up my career and devoted the past two years to raising her.'

The Manchester born father of one, who has been raising daughter Madison, 7, after losing Samantha, also paid tribute to his daughter and sister Sarah Johnson, who is also his manager.

'Things are different now,' he continued. 'These last two years have been tough, but thanks to the love and support of my sister, I am now in a much better place and return to claim what's mine.'

Ethan's late wife Samantha tragically died when she was visiting friends in London when she fell victim to multiple stab wounds during a mugging gone wrong.

Although initially asking followers to respect his privacy during the grieving process, Brooks has frequently been spotted at multiple events, with various women, leading to backlash from fans who initially supported the widower.

Speaking with President of Valkyrie Fighting League, Elaine Silvers, we can report that The Sandman is currently in talks with matchmakers regarding his return, however contracts have not yet been signed.

You can do this. I take a deep breath, trying to convince myself that everything will be okay as I ring the doorbell. If the bus ride here is anything to go by, I'm going to need a miracle to get this job.

I should have stayed on my sister’s stupid sofa with Ryan Gosling just like I have every single day since my world came crashing down around me. Instead, I've had the embarrassment of spilling my coffee down me on the bus, missing my stop and getting caught in a huge downpour while walking here. Luckily, despite having to walk an extra half a mile, I am actually early.

The door opens and a tall brunette in her late thirties appears in the doorway. She reminds me a lot of my sister — beautiful without so much as trying.

And there stands me, drenched, and desperately trying to wrap my black blazer around my body to hide the brown stain down the front of my once pink blouse.

“Hi, you must be Amelia.” She smiles “Come on in.”

Amelia Cooper, that's my name. Twenty-four years old. A yoga fanatic, perfectionist with a heart as big as the ocean. Lover of all things Disney, riding boots and curling up under a wool blanket with a cup of hot chocolate and a good romance movie.

A girl so obsessed with Prince Charming that I saved myself for the one man who ticked every box on my list, and then watched as he ripped my heart right out of my chest.

“Thanks, please call me Mia.” I
