As soon as Alex sees the man, he knows he must possess him. But Cristiano is a comeback kid too--returning to the fight game after a long absence, he has only recently discovered he is gay. Seduced by a hot Cuban champion, he is attracted to Alex, their union is fiery hot, but his own past keeps threatening to derail his future happiness.

He's the man who dumped his last name after his dad abandoned him--now he is fighting for his life, in and out of the ring. Can Alex and Cristiano trust their love or will the past come back to haunt them both?
