The world of college and chaos brings a whole new challenge that I'm determined to master just like I've done everything else. Long nights of studying and navigating fraternities has me searching for something more exciting.

Which is how I stumble onto the exclusive underground fights—a new passion that demands my knowledge of numbers, quick thinking, and snark.

The unmatched violence that happens down in these hallowed halls has my heart pumping out of my chest. And when it brings me face to face with the woman I haven't been able to stop thinking about—Tia—I can't seem to let go of a world that will ultimately destroy me.

Except, Tia isn't mine. She's his. Cairo's.

He didn't seem keen on sharing until I realize that there's more than meets the eye. The attraction between Tia and I runs hot and heavy just as I knew it would but the growing feelings and the way Cairo so easily submits terrifies me.

When he pleads for me to rid him of the demons trying to swallow him whole, who am I to say no?

I'm determined to escape this new obsession with both Cairo and Tia beside me. I won't be able to choose between them.

Here's to hoping they won't make me.
