In the unforgiving world of professional boxing, 24-year-old McKenzi "Saint" Washington is a rising star with a haunted soul. Born and bred in the violent streets of Memphis, Kenzi carries survival remorse like a second skin-numb to success, fueled by rage, and quietly unraveling behind the mask of glory.

After a brutal match leaves his opponent in a coma and the media turns bloodthirsty, Kenzi's team forces him into therapy as damage control. What starts as a punishment becomes something more when he's paired with Lisa Etienne, a 33-year-old trauma therapist whose calm, precise demeanor hides scars of her own.

Lisa is everything Kenzi is not: composed, methodical, emotionally disciplined. But the deeper they dig into his past, the more the lines between patient and healer blur. He's a storm she's trained to weather. She's a portrait he never meant to paint.

What begins as resistance turns into a slow-burning connection neither of them can deny. But the closer Kenzi gets to healing and to Lisa, the more dangerous it becomes for them both. In a world that expects them to stay broken, can they risk rewriting the narrative?

Or will loving her cost him the only fight he hasn't already lost?
