Jaxon Reyes knows how to sell a fight. Roman Cross knows how to end one.
Thrown together for the UFC's biggest tournament, the cocky rising star and the brooding former champion are supposed to be rivals. Instead, brutal training sessions, late-night confrontations, one dangerously shared hotel bed, and an attraction neither man can ignore begin turning hatred into something far more complicated.
But Roman is hiding more than his feelings.
With crushing debt, dangerous secrets, and his career hanging by a thread, Roman believes the only way to protect Jaxon is to push him away—even if it means destroying his own future.
Then the world discovers what's happening between them.
Suddenly their private relationship becomes public spectacle, and the final fight places them on opposite sides of the cage with everything at stake.
