Jesse was once a talented pro boxer — until a fixed fight cost him his entire career. Now he’s forced to fight in underground matches to pay for his young daughter Mia’s life-saving surgery.
The last man he ever wants to see again is Grant: his cocky, self-proclaimed straight high school nemesis, who’s hated him for years, convinced Jesse stole his girlfriend back in school.
But Grant holds all the cards now. He offers Jesse a well-paid contract as his personal bodyguard — with intimate, non-negotiable conditions attached.
With Mia’s life on the line, Jesse has no choice but to sign. Caught between his long-hidden secret crush and Grant’s simmering resentment, he’s pulled into a dangerous game of hate and desire, with stakes higher than any fight he’s ever stepped into.
