Tavian Brooks has spent his life fighting for more. Raised in The Bottom, he earns a place at legendary trainer Marcus “Heavy” Carter’s elite gym and finally gets the shot that could change everything.

There’s only one rule Heavy makes clear: stay away from his daughter.

Sloane Carter has built a life of her own, but when Tavian steps into it, the attraction between them is immediate, reckless, and impossible to ignore. What starts as something they agree to keep secret quickly becomes far more complicated than either of them planned.

As Tavian’s career rises and the pressure outside the ring mounts, their relationship forces them to confront family, ambition, loyalty, and the cost of loving someone when the people closest to you may never understand.

Inside the ring, Tavian knows exactly what he’s fighting for.

It’s everything waiting for him outside the ropes that could change his life forever.
