The Knockout Rule by Kelly Siskind

Isla Slade was raised by her father, a heavyweight boxing champion, after her mother left them. Knowing that every fight could lead to her losing her only parent caused her to have severe panic attacks.  She is determined never to live that fear again so when she starts her own therapy studio, she accepts all athletes except boxers.  But when her dad asks a favor to be a therapist for his boxing client Brick Smash,  she feels she can't refuse.  At first believing his public image of a dumb jock,  she soon learns he's anything but.  He only began boxing to earn enough money to support his mother and sister. As they spend more time together Isla realizes that Brick aka Erik is everything she wants.  But how can they be together when the thought of him getting hurt in the ring causes her panic attacks to return? 
I love Erik's intelligent and sensitive character behind the dumb jock exterior. The chemistry between him and Isla really worked.
