Marcus "The Reaper" Rodriguez was supposed to be unstoppable.
Former UFC champion. Undefeated record. Until one devastating injury shattered his knee—and his entire world. Now he's a broken man hiding in his brother's gym, pushing away anyone who tries to help.
Enter Dr. Sophie Mitchell.
The stubborn physical therapist refuses to be intimidated by his anger, his walls, or his reputation. She sees through his champion facade to the wounded man beneath, and she's determined to make him fight for his recovery—whether he wants to or not.
But Marcus isn't her only problem.
Every heated therapy session blurs the line between professional and personal. Every moment of vulnerability draws them closer to crossing boundaries that could destroy both their careers. Sophie's never met a patient who challenges her like this, and Marcus has never let anyone see him this broken.
She's supposed to heal his body, not steal his heart.
He's supposed to get better, not fall for his doctor.
When the past comes calling and forces them to choose between playing it safe and risking everything, they'll discover that some injuries can only be healed by love—and some fights are worth losing yourself to win.
Can two people who've lost everything find the courage to build something beautiful together?
