Stay Until The Bell Stops

Ten thousand dollars a night. One wounded fighter. And a man who knows exactly why she needs the money.

Dr. Monroe Ellis lost her career after refusing to conceal the truth about a boxer's death. Now she's facing financial ruin, with little hope of ever practicing medicine again.

Then Abram Voss offers her a job.

He's the ruthless owner of the Crucible, an illegal underground fighting arena where the rules are brutal and the stakes are deadly. He needs a private trauma surgeon to keep his fighters alive.

Especially himself.

Abram has studied Monroe for months. He knows her professional history, her habits, and the scandal that destroyed her reputation. Even his private infirmary has been prepared around her preferences.

But he hasn't hired her by accident.

His brother was murdered in the ring, and Abram has spent years arranging the fight that will expose the people responsible.

There's one problem.

Every blow brings him closer to death.

Monroe knows she should walk away. Instead, she takes control of his treatment, challenges his dangerous plans, and refuses to let him throw his life away for revenge.

He built the Crucible to destroy his enemies.

He never expected the woman he hired to save his body to become the reason he wants to live.
