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)
A knockout romance.

Killer by drharleenquinzel_
18 parts Ongoing Mature
"Do you ever think about the past?" I ask softly, my voice barely audible over the hum of the city. He doesn't look at me, his jaw tightening as his hands flex at his sides. "No," he says flatly, his tone cold, unfamiliar. My heart clenches painfully. It's a lie. It has to be. Eight years ago, Isla Walsh's summer was consumed by one man-Giovanni Moretti. He was her brother's best friend, the forbidden flame she couldn't resist. They shared a fleeting, intoxicating love, and were destined to burn out too quickly. But when Giovanni vanished without a word, Isla was left alone to pick up the pieces of her heart. Now a successful ER surgeon living in Manhattan, Isla has worked hard to rebuild her life, burying the pain and confusion of Giovanni's disappearance. But everything unravels when a dangerous underground fight pulls her into the shadows of her brother's secret world. Because the man stepping into the ring is none other than Giovanni-a ghost from her past who doesn't seem to recognize her at all. In a world of lies, betrayal, and forgotten promises, Isla must decide if she's willing to risk everything for a love she can't forget-or if it's time to leave Giovanni in the past for good.
