Ava Rose has only one dream: to become the first female world boxing champion from her town.
But no gym wants a girl. No coach wants to waste time on her. She is broke, hungry, and angry.
Leo Cruz is a former world champion. Now he is the most ruthless coach in the country. He hates female boxers. He thinks they are weak.
When Ava is bleeding and fighting for $50 in an illegal basement, Leo watches her from the dark.
He offers her a contract that will change everything.
"I will train you for 90 days for the National Finals. If you win, you get your title shot. If you lose, you quit boxing forever... and you become mine."
She hates his arrogance. She hates his cold eyes. But his hands are the only ones that have ever made her feel safe in a fight.
What she does not know is that Leo was the last man to fight her dead brother in the ring.
