Hoping to sign with one of the biggest boxing promoters in the country, Kross Maxwell has to maintain a near perfect record. He cant afford to lose any more bouts. But his head isnt in the ring. Instead, he cant seem to shake his past thats been beating on his mind. To get back in the game, he goes in search of the girl he walked away from--the one girl who's always owned his heart. Twenty-year-old, Ruby Lewis, is angry and frustrated with the way her life turned out. She dreamed of becoming a ballerina, but instead of performing for the rich and famous, shes swinging her fists at girls twice her size in filthy, underground fights. Shed give anything to sleep in a bed, rather than the cold dark streets of Boston. Begging for her next meal, she often thinks of the friends she once had, the nice home she lived in, and the only boy to ever steal her heart. But Kross Maxwell wouldnt want her now--not with dirty fingernails, ragged clothes and oily hair. But when she runs into him, the concrete wall shes erected around herself threatens to crumble, and she cant let that happen--if she wants to survive and get back the only thing that's ever mattered to her.
