Juke's a problem in and out the ring—silent, savage, and undefeated.
His rivalry with Boom runs deeper than boxing, rooted in the streets and personal history. So when he offers to help the DeLucas with a situation involving their cousin Sophi, it's just something to keep his hands busy. He's not looking to play hero… just keep an eye out… lie low, and handle business if it comes to that. But Sophi ain't what he expected. She's soft-spoken but guarded, moving like a woman who's had to survive more than she's ever told. Falling for anyone, especially a man like Juke, was never in her plan. But when her past shows up loud and violent, Juke makes it real clear… She's under his protection now. What starts as a favor turns into something deeper… darker. As lines blur between protection and possession, Juke and Sophi find themselves fighting for more than survival. This time, the battle ain't in the ring. It's for love—and Juke never loses.
