Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.4 mb
Overview: They were never supposed to be partners.
Draven Volkov is all controlled violence, dark eyes, and brutal precision. Predatory, ruthless, and built like a weapon, he has spent his life turning instinct into discipline and pain into power. A fighter with a past buried deep beneath silence and muscle, Draven doesn’t let people close. He doesn’t need softness. He doesn’t believe in surrender.
Aalto Merrick is everything Draven shouldn’t want near him.
Cocky, blond, sharp-mouthed, and impossible to ignore, Aalto fights like water under pressure — fluid, unpredictable, devastating. Behind the lazy smiles, colourful ink, and effortless arrogance is a man who knows exactly how to hide damage in plain sight. He has his own scars, his own secrets, and his own reasons for never letting anyone see too much.
At Apex Strike Club, rivalry is expected. Ego is currency. Weakness is expensive.
But when Draven and Aalto are forced into the same space — training side by side, travelling together, sharing rooms, sharing silence, and pushing each other past every limit they thought they had — the line between hatred and hunger begins to blur.
Every sparring session becomes a confession neither of them will speak aloud.
Every bruise becomes proof.
Every glance is a challenge.
Every near miss pulls them closer to the thing they swore they would never let happen.
They promise themselves they will keep control.
They promise themselves they will not look too long, want too much, or let their guard drop.
But some fights don’t stay on the mat.
As the World Championships close in and the pressure around them tightens, Draven and Aalto are forced to trust each other in ways neither man is prepared for. What begins as rivalry becomes obsession. What begins as friction becomes need. And when a hidden threat from within Apex puts more than victory at risk, they will have to decide whether the one person capable of breaking them might also be the only one who can keep them standing.
Because surviving the shift from enemies to lovers was only the beginning.
Now, with careers, reputations, secrets, and their hearts on the line, Draven and Aalto must face the hardest fight of all — the one that demands honesty, surrender, and the courage to stop running from what they have already started.
