Indira "Indi" West is a licensed therapist with cerebral palsy and the softest thing in a city that keeps trying to harden her. When she's assigned to run group sessions at King's Corner, the community boxing gym holding half the neighborhood together, she's ready for angry boys, court dates, and panic attacks. She's not ready for Messiah King-the gym's founder, her first love, and the man who once walked her home, then disappeared "to keep her safe." Now they're sharing the same kids, the same circles, the same late nights in a building with his name on it. Indi has rules: no flirting, no blurred lines, no saving men who don't want to save themselves. But watching Messiah stand between these boys and the same streets that almost swallowed him makes it harder to pretend he's just a "community partner." In a world where jail visits feel more normal than report cards, Indi and Messiah are trying to give these kids a different ending... while quietly wondering if they're allowed one too. Includes themes of trauma, incarceration, panic attacks, police encounters, and violence alongside romance, softness, and healing.
