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

The underground arena roared with anticipation. Alexander stood under the blinding overhead lights, his opponent already in the ring—a monstrous figure, taller, heavier, his knuckles scarred from years of breaking men apart.

Carver's voice echoed through the speakers. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's final act. Let's see if our fallen king can still stand."

Alexander barely heard the crowd. His focus was on one thing—ending this. He lunged first, a brutal right hook meeting his opponent's jaw. The man staggered, but he was built like a machine, unfazed. He came back swinging, fists colliding with Alexander's ribs, forcing the air from his lungs.

Eve was somewhere in the audience. He could feel her eyes on him. And that was all the strength he needed.

The fight stretched on, both men breaking, both refusing to fall. Until finally, with a last burst of rage, Alexander delivered the knockout punch. The crowd erupted.

Carver smirked from the balcony above. "Did you really think I'd play fair?"

Alexander, bleeding, barely standing, wiped the blood from his mouth. "I don't need fair. I just need you dead."
