He fights for survival. She fights for love. In the brutal world of underground boxing, where fists carve destinies and love is a dangerous game, Alexander "The Revenant" Voss is a man haunted by demons. Scarred by a childhood of violence and a past soaked in blood, he believes he is incapable of love—until he meets Eve Laurent, a psychologist who sees through his armor. Their romance is as dark as it is beautiful, built on pain, passion, and the promise of something neither of them truly believes they deserve. But love is never enough. When the past returns with a vengeance, Alexander is forced to choose between redemption and destruction, between the ring and the woman who holds his fragile soul. In the end, some battles can only be won by losing everything.

Gloves & Sins

Eve couldn't shake the feeling that she was missing something—something crucial about Alexander's past. She started digging, following the breadcrumbs he hadn't meant to leave behind. Bank records, medical reports, a list of underground fights. And then she found it—a direct connection between Alexander and Carver's criminal dealings. It wasn't just about the fights. It was bigger. Darker.

She confronted him that night, the apartment thick with unspoken words.

"You lied to me," she whispered, holding up the evidence. "You told me you fought to survive. But this… this is more than survival."

Alexander's expression darkened, torn between anger and resignation. "You don't understand what this world is, Eve. And you don't want to."

"Then make me understand," she pleaded. "Or is lying to me easier than admitting who you really are?"

Alexander clenched his fists. "Who I am is exactly why you need to walk away."

Eve shook her head, heart breaking. "You keep telling me you're broken, but all I see is a man too afraid to be anything else."
