Everyone has something to say about a professional boxer. The rumors are endless. Some people swear you and Kayson Reed hate each other. Others insist you’re secretly in love. There are even people convinced one of you is paying the other to keep the rivalry going. The truth? You barely know him. You’ve spent years competing in the same divisions, appearing on the same fight cards, and fighting completely different opponents without ever exchanging more than a passing glance. Until one fight changes everything. When an opponent is allowed to fight dirty and the referee turns a blind eye, you push through the pain until your body finally gives out in the ring. And Kayson Reed sees all of it. For the first time, the man you’ve only ever known through rumors has something to say. And he’d rather say it to your face.
