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 couldn't 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, he's 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 they're willing to fight for each other, their love could be a knockout.
This low angst story is full of sweet moments and steam. It contains no cheating or cliffhangers and has a very happy HEA! *Trigger warning - this story contains instances of body shaming and mention of physical and sexual assault.
