Ariyah “Nova” Stevens was born to fight. With boxing in her blood and enough talent to build a legacy of her own, she once had everything it took to become a champion. Until one night left more than her dreams in ashes. Now, the gloves are off, her temper is quicker than her fists, and Nova has no intentions of ever stepping inside a ring again. But some fights don’t end just because you stop throwing punches. With a past she refuses to confront and a future demanding she finally does, Ariyah may discover her toughest opponent has always been herself.

Landon “Breaker” Mercer has never met a fight he couldn’t win. Undefeated in the ring and damn near untouchable outside of it, Breaker is boxing’s favorite problem. He has the money, the women, the attitude, and enough power behind his fists to make opponents reconsider their career choices. The world knows the shades, the mouth, and the man who turns violence into entertainment. However, there are some blows even a champion can’t block. With ghosts from his past colliding with wounds he never expected to acquire, Landon finds himself against the ropes in a fight no undefeated record can save him from.

Nova and Breaker know exactly what to do when the bell rings. Outside the ring is where shit gets complicated. As one prepares to reclaim the future she walked away from and the other prepares to defend the legacy he built, love becomes the one fight neither trained for. Hidden agendas, bruised egos, carefully placed lies, and devastating misunderstandings threaten to destroy more than their relationship. When everyone around them seems to have a hand in the fight, Nova and Breaker will have to decide who belongs in their corner, who’s been swinging against them, and whether two fighters accustomed to protecting themselves can stop fighting each other long enough to win the only title neither wants to lose.

Love.
