Stay Until The Bell Stops

Ten thousand dollars a night. Ninety seconds between rounds. One rule: stay until the bell stops.

Dr. Monroe Ellis lost her hospital, her reputation, and nearly her medical license after refusing to bury the truth about a dead boxer. Then Abram Vossler offers her a way back: serve as the private trauma surgeon inside The Crucible, his illegal underground arena, and patch him together between fights.

The infirmary is stocked to her exact preferences. The coffee is made her way. The room was built for her before she ever agreed to enter it.

Abram has studied everything about Monroe. He needs her steady hands, her unbreakable credibility, and her obsession with the case that destroyed her career. His brother was murdered in the ring, and Abram has spent four years designing the final fight that will expose the men responsible.

But his plan has a fatal flaw: every blow is worsening the damage inside his skull.

Monroe should walk away. Instead, she takes the keys. She writes the rules. And she stays—caught between saving the man who manipulated her and helping him complete the revenge that may kill him.

He built a cage around the only woman capable of stopping him.

He never expected her to become the reason he wants to survive.
