The last person a champion battleboxer should love is the man who owns his contract.

Famed battleboxer Imalroc finally has a handler too inexperienced to control him. He can carve his way out of the blood-soaked arenas at last– just win a few more fights. And then put a sword to Rerdas Toriem’s lovely throat if the handler doesn’t surrender his contract once his winnings fulfill the bargain they made.

Rerdas Toriem is surrounded by danger– a leering duke who wants to keep him like a helpless trophy, a queen convinced he’s working against her, and a fierce battleboxer who will turn a blade on him at the first opportunity. His deal with Imalroc is his only hope of escape, but working with him means glimpsing the love-starved man beneath the armor. A man who might be worthy of his trust.

Rerdas and Imalroc both know they can’t give in to such a dangerous attraction. Relationships between handlers and battleboxers are utterly forbidden. But resistance crumbles with every passing day, and their tangled feelings are blooming into a perilous secret. If it’s discovered, Imalroc’s freedom and Rerdas’s life are forfeit.

A slow-burn, spicy m/m Fantasy Romance for fans of enemies-to-lovers, captor/captive, political intrigue and Captive Prince.
