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 is filled with bloodlust, with gamblers shouting, fists slamming against metal cages. Alexander wraps his hands, his muscles coiled tight.

Eve stands near the edge of the crowd, watching. Her stomach twists at the sight of him back in this world, back in the violence.

He doesn't look at her. He can't afford to.

But she knows him well enough to see it—the way his hands tremble slightly before tightening into fists. The way his breathing changes when the fight begins. This isn't just survival anymore. This is war.

Blood spills. His opponent is ruthless, but Alexander is worse. He fights like a man with nothing to lose.

Eve watches, fear and love tangled in her throat. "I don't want to watch you bleed for them."

After the fight, Alexander finds her in the back corridor, sweat and blood dripping down his face. He cups her face in his hands, pressing his forehead against hers.

"Then don't watch, angel," he whispers, brushing his lips against her knuckles. "Just promise you'll be there when I come back."
