Axel King left his life as an MMA fighter behind him when his parents died. He'd had no choice when the courts deemed his career choice to be too violent to raise his younger sister and infant brother in. Now 3 years later Axel attends Ramsden University of the Arts while running King's Gym -the gym and training facility his father built from the ground up nearly 30 years ago. Aspen Wolfe is the RUA's golden child. Her singing talent is well known throughout the school and her friendly personality paired with her unique appearance makes the young woman loved by nearly everyone she comes in contact with. Everyone but Axel King. When the two are paired together for a final project, things for the both of them begin to go downhill, quickly. Aspen ends up hospitalized after a brutal beating, and Axel is arrested. With lives on the line, can he keep his family safe from this threat without returning to his old ways? **For MATURE readers! Swear words and possible triggering situations!**

Story Title: Beneath The Bruises Genre: YA/NA Romance, Drama, Slow-Burn, Enemies to Lovers Tone: Emotional, Gritty, Tension-Heavy Athena Wolfe never wanted to be at Crestwood Alternative Academy, one of the biggest charter school disguised as a second chance for 'bad kids'. After bouncing through foster homes and being abandoned by both her biological and adoptive families, trust isn't something she gives freely-especially not to a brooding, tattooed guy with a prison record and a permanent smirk. Edward "Bruiser" Black got his nickname the hard way-after beating the hell out of the boy who hurt his little sister. Now he keeps everyone at arm's length, except for the ones who feed the version of him he's learned to be: cold, careless, dangerous, and a total manwhore From the moment Athena and Edward cross paths, it's war. Verbal jabs. Public tension. Fights that almost turn physical. But between hallway run-ins, shared classes, detention shifts, and one reckless trip to a lake house, the line between hate and something deeper starts to blur. Secrets unravel. Pain resurfaces. And when a scandalous video threatens to tear everything apart, Athena and Edward must confront what they've both been running from-and whether what's building between them is real, or just another fight waiting to happen.
