Between the Ropes is a gritty, high-stakes tale of ambition, deception, and the price of playing the game. Nina has never cared about love-only money, fame, and the power that comes with them. When her best friend lands her a job as a ring girl in the brutal world of professional boxing, she sees it as her way up. Enter Tony, a showboating, dark-haired Italian fighter from New York, and Trevor, a golden-boy Californian boxer. The two men despise each other, but that doesn't stop Nina from playing them both-until their rivalry comes to a head.

As the world watches, Nina basks in the chaos she's orchestrated, convinced she's untouchable. But the night of their fight changes everything. Suddenly, she's on the outside looking in, shut out by the very men who once revolved around her. Fame slips through her fingers, and the life she built starts to crumble.

A raw, cinematic descent into greed and self-destruction, Between the Ropes is a story of how fast you can rise-and how much faster you can fall.

"Love at first fight." (2024)

Sinscared Series #1 A forbidden love. A betrayal lurking in the shadows. And a world built on blood, deception, and vengeance. In the ruthless world of the Italian mafia, loyalty is power, betrayal is death, and love... is a dangerous game. Serafina Moretti is no stranger to violence.

Lucien has always been there-her protector, her confidant. But he's never been hers. His heart has always belonged to another woman. Now, bound by an arranged marriage that neither of them wanted, Serafina is forced to face a truth she's spent years running from: Lucien's love is a ghost. And as the Russian mafia closes in, their fragile peace teeters on the edge of destruction. Serafina must navigate a dangerous world of blood, betrayal, and lies, while fighting a love that was never truly hers to claim. In the end, the question isn't how far she'll go to save Lucien-but how much of herself she's willing to lose in the process?
