Eight years behind bars were supposed to break him. Instead, they built him. Wrongfully convicted and thrown into a prison ruled by violence, betrayal, and an underground Mafia empire, you learned quickly that survival meant staying quiet, keeping your head down, and trusting absolutely no one. Especially not Dominque Cross—the cold, ruthless Mafia boss who controlled the prison without ever needing to raise his voice. But Dominque noticed you. He noticed how you survived beatings that would’ve broken other men. How you never begged. Never cried. Never snitched. And when everyone else saw a weak inmate, he saw something dangerous hiding underneath. Then you disappeared. For two years, everyone—including Dominque—believed you were dead. They were wrong. You weren’t hiding. You were building. An underground empire. A loyal crew. A fortune. A name powerful enough to stand on its own. And when Dominque, Darius, and Malachi finally walk into one of your boxing rings and see you standing above the crowd, older, colder, and completely untouchable, you don’t run. You simply look down at them. Because the man they thought they buried became the man they now have to find a way to survive.
