Fighting For The Future
Lewis Parker's life seemed perfect-until it wasn't. For years, his world followed a predictable rhythm. A steady family, a loving girlfriend, and friends who were always by his side. But one fateful year, everything changed. His father walked out, his girlfriend shattered his heart, and his friends turned their backs on him. Overwhelmed by heartbreak, betrayal, and an all-consuming sense of loss, Lewis spiralled into a dark place of depression, anxiety, and uncontrollable anger. In the midst of this turmoil, Lewis stumbled upon something unexpected: boxing. What started as a way to channel his rage soon became a transformative force in his life. With every punch, he not only fought his inner demons but began to rebuild himself, learning lessons about strength, resilience, and self-worth that extended far beyond the ring. Through boxing, Lewis found not only a way to defend himself but a new purpose, a newfound confidence, and-most importantly-a sense of belonging. He forged new friendships, found love, and built a family within the sport that had once been his escape. As he rises through the ranks to become a professional boxer, Lewis doesn't just fight for victory-he fights for redemption. The world would come to know him as the most famous rookie in boxing history. But for Lewis, it was never just about the fame. It was about reclaiming his life-and his future-one punch at a time.Complete

The Silver Fighter | ✓
"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]Complete

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."
