Fame can't buy the one thing Draven wanted most-someone who would see the man beneath the boxer.
Draven
I'm a stoic champion in the ring and a gentle tiger in a divided world, and I had everything except the one thing that mattered: love without fear of being used. When I met Victor-a sharp-tongued human with a generous heart-I found myself wanting more than victory belts and roaring crowds. But loving Victor could mean losing everything I worked so hard for, and only being seen as a punching machine in the ring. Will he be able to see the real me through the mask I wear as armor?
Victor
I've spent my life outrunning my past, choosing flour-dusted mornings in my uncle's café over the violence that once defined me. Falling for a beastman was never part of the plan. I saw the man beneath the muscles, and that might be the most terrifying thing of all. But being with Draven could be detrimental to my safety. I would be putting myself in the crosshairs of people who reject what we have. Is it worth giving this mysterious stranger a chance?
In a society where humans are seen as second-class citizens, and loving across species is dangerous, our connection is as forbidden as it is undeniable. Our world is determined to tear us apart. Can we fight for a love that shouldn't exist?
