Brian O'Connor's dad was one of the greatest boxers in Australia. He always taught Brian the message that no matter what goes on in your life, "keep on punching". 
But when Brian's mother dies in an accident and his father turns to alcohol and then taking his anger out on his son, how can he find the strength to keep on punching?
Then Brian gets what he's wanted ever since his mum died - a family. After running away from DHS, he is taken in by Ted and Rosie Gallagher, who run a boxing tent on the showgrounds. They treat him as their own son, he soon becomes one of their best fighters and even falls in love with their lovely daughter EJ. 
Can Brian apply the advice his father once gave him as he considers the greatest challenge of his life?

Reillyn Cole had experienced it all. Grief. Pain. Heartbreak. And yet, still, the cruel world continued to throw hurdles in her unendingly winding path. Elias Ryker had grown up under tyranny. Despite problems of his own, he becomes the most likely to be able to save her. And she was the last anyone expected to actually want to save him. But she did. She wanted him. He wanted her. But fate didn't want them together. Now, they must navigate an overprotective best friend, a homicidal father, a psychotic brother, and a hilariously crazy grandma. But, will Rei ever get her happy ending? - - - "Boxer Boy, you don't really have a choice in the matter, you either help me or I squeal about your very illegal activities," I obviously wasn't gonna tell but he didn't know that so I silently prayed he wouldn't call my bluff. He leaned down so he was eye level with me, he smelt like apples too. "Why do you wanna learn how to fight tigru?" I tried my hardest not to let my gaze flicker down to his bare chest, but it was right there and very distracting. He cleared his throat making me shoot my gaze back to him as I hoped my voice didn't come out shaky, "that's my business, just like the reason you fight is yours." His jaw sharpened as he straightened and seemed to contemplate what his next move would be. I took the time to declutter my thoughts and focus on what I needed from him; fighting lessons, the opportunity to save myself one final time. - - - "I love the book overall. It kept me on the edge of my seat and it was full of emotion! I can't wait for the sequel to come out! This book had something for everyone and anyone; if you enjoy reading, you'll enjoy this book!" - Mackenzie "I read a lot and this is one of the best books I've read. If you are this young writing this good I cannot wait to follow your career." - danielchristinatin

"I already killed your mother, Cam." As the words left my enemy's mouth like a mocking sneer, I growled under my breath at the mention of my old name. Memories started to boil up that I had been wanting to squash deep into my heart. Bad memories. "As you can guess, I'm here to finish the job." He continued with that ever-present sinister smirk on his face. And in that moment, a sudden burst of confidence just appeared within me. Or blatant stupidity. 'I'll take either one.' I silently admitted to myself. I rolled my eyes at his so-called 'threat', not really intimidated in the least. "Yeah, like that went so well the first time. The first time, you fucked up enough to get caught by the police." I pointed out. "The second time, your grown-ass men got their asses handed to them by two teenagers." I snorted at him. "Your odds aren't looking too good here, Berti." ~•~ Losing her father? Lovely. Getting in a car accident with her aunt, uncle, and cousin and being the sole survivor? Fantastic. Losing her mother because a deranged psychopath holds a grudge even better than The Grinch? Amazing. Being ostracized from her own family save from her paternal grandparents, and getting the blame for her mother's death? Cherry on top of the cake. Having to make sure three idiotic twats don't get themselves killed because they couldn't mind their own bloody business? Bloody hell, that's an entire ice cream cake with ten pounds of gummy bears. ~•~ Join Grace Stanton as she faces her demons and the demons of her past all while trying not to commit murder against her three new friends. Fun times. (First book in the Gilded series) ~•~ [#1 Streetracer - 4/21/21] [#1 Gangs - 9/16/21] [#1 Boxer - 9/12/21] [#1 Fighter - 12/11/21] [#2 Boxing - 9/3/21] [#1 Girlpower - 2/12/21]

(Completed) Bryan Phillips didn't have an easy life. When his parents became addicted to drugs that meant doing what it took to survive. He never imagined becoming a parent at nineteen. Hell, he never imagined becoming anything due to the fact of things he had to do. Blacking out when he lost his virginity is not even the icing on the cake. Bryan Phillips was a complete mess, that is until he heard those two words most teenage boys don't want to hear, "I'm pregnant." His life immediately changed and he was working towards doing better until his child's life was threatened. It's all thanks to his good for nothing parents that he's in the predicament he is in now. That's why he is standing near the underground fighting ring ready to get his ass handed to him. Somehow he lands a punch on the notorious Grayson Miller, who is feared by most in the unground fighting ring. "I'm so dead Benny, what the fuck was I thinking?" Bryan whispers to his best friend. "Your puny ass will be dead within a week here." Grayson glares at the man. But is surprisingly impressed by the punch Bryan delivered to him. "I don't have a choice, I rather it be me than my daughter." He has no idea why he just told this stranger that. Or why he gets a sense of familiarity around this intimidating man. But no matter what he won't back down. For some strange reason Grayson wants to help him, but will not let Bryan know it. "Your funeral, meet me here tomorrow at ten am and I will show you how to properly fight." Grayson also has ulterior motives to helping Bryan out. Little did they both know that they shared a history that will soon come to light once training begins. How they will deal with that history is anyone's guess. Copyright © 2022 All rights reserved.
