Avery is no stranger to bullying; not only from within his own home, but from his classmates as well. He assumed once he started college, his peers would mature and his worries would be over, but he couldnt be more wrong; rude remarks and hurtful words turn to physical altercations, and Avery needs to learn to protect himself.
Troy, a retired heavyweight boxer, is awestruck when a gorgeous young man enters the gym where he works as a trainer. Troy immediately takes Avery on as a client, and after one lesson, hes drawn to do more than teach and protect him.
But Avery has to protect his heart as well as his body, and has built walls which Troy must climb to discover secrets and surprising shared needs. If theyre willing to fight for each other, their love could be a knockout.
