Chapter 1

EmeryThe first thing I heard was bone, not the music, though it pounded hard enough to vibrate through the walls and into the handle beneath my hand. Not the laughter echoing from within the building, nor the guttural sounds of men drinking and conversing loudly. Bone…a sharp crack that sliced through everything else.I froze outside the back hallway door, my fingers tightening around the cold metal handle as another sound followed it; flesh hitting canvas hard enough to make something in my stomach knot.For one second, long enough for common sense to catch up with me, I considered turning around. The front of the bar had already felt rougher than I’d expected: too loud, too crowded.Leather cuts stretched across broad backs. Tattoos climbed thick arms as hands wrapped around whiskey bottles. Pool balls cracked somewhere behind me and old rock music rattled the walls hard enough to shake the neon signs hanging behind the bar.CAGERS BAR glowed electric blue against the far wall.LIV

Chapter 2

Cain stepped toward the cage door, toward me, and every instinct I had screamed to leave before he reached me. To turn around, to walk back through the hallway, and pretend I’d never opened the door in the first place, because whatever this place was, I didn’t belong in it. No where even close to it.The violence felt too real. The fight didn’t possess the polished, professionally controlled look that television fights had.Maybe I was being a little too guliable, but this place was raw noise, sweat and blood under brutal white lights while grown men screamed loud enough to shake the walls. Money traded hands openly around me as people shoved for better views of the cage, arguing over bets while someone near the front laughed at the man still unconscious on the mat.The music pounded hard enough that I felt it beneath my ribs, bass vibrating through concrete while heat pressed heavily against my skin from too many bodies packed into one room. Cigarette smoke curled through the air, th

Chapter 3

“I didn’t know there was fighting back here,” I mumbled.His gaze slid briefly toward the cage again before returning to me. “Most people hear what’s happening back here and walk the other direction.”“Most people?” I asked.A faint huff left him, a sound that wasn’t quite a laugh. “Yeah.”Behind him, two men dragged the unconscious fighter out while someone sprayed down blood inside the cage like this happened often enough to have a routine.That should’ve disturbed me more than it did. Instead, my attention drifted back to Cain. To the blood drying along his jaw. The tattoos that disappeared beneath his leather cut. To the silver barely threading through the dark hair brushing his shoulder, and my fingers itched to touch it.Jesus Christ, Emery! Your best friend’s dad? Really? “You planning on staring all night?” he asked quietly.My eyes snapped back to his as heat flared in my face. “I wasn’t staring,” I defended.That almost-smile appeared again, knowing I was lying.A woman bru

Chapter 4

CainI watched her leave. That was the first problem. The second was that I didn’t look away when I should have.Emery crossed the cage room with her shoulders pulled back like she hadn’t just stood in a room full of blood, bets, and men who would eat softness for entertainment.Reaper stepped up beside me with a beer in hand, his gaze following mine toward the hallway. “That the new girl?”I took a slow drink from the bottle someone had shoved at me before answering. “Yeah.”He hummed low in his throat, scratching at his beard. “I’d fuck the hell outta that bitch.”My hand tightened around the bottle.Reaper noticed, and his eyes slid toward me, the lust written on his face fading as he caught something in my expression I hadn’t meant to show.“Cain?” he questioned carefully.I looked at him flatly, and he lifted both hands slightly. “Didn’t say nothing.”“Didn’t think so.” I tossed the towel over my shoulder and turned back toward the cage.His mouth twitched, but he was smart enoug

Chapter 5

EmeryThe next night, the cage room felt even more dangerous.Tess glanced up from stocking liquor bottles behind the bar when I came in wearing the fitted black Cagers shirt she’d tossed at me earlier.“Well,” she muttered, dragging her eyes over me once. “That’s gonna be a problem.”I frowned slightly as I set my bag beneath the counter. “What is?”She tipped head toward my shirt. “You looking like that back here.”Heat crawled up my neck immediately. “I look normal.”Tess barked out a laugh while shoving shot glasses into place. “Honey, nothing about you looks normal in a room full of violent men and alcohol.”Before I could answer, a roar exploded from the crowd as two fighters slammed against the cage hard enough the chain-link rattled.I flinched automatically, and Tess noticed. She slid a bottle opener across the counter toward me. “First real fight night?”I nodded. “Pretty obvious?”“Little bit.” She smirked before nodding toward the cage. “You get used to it.”I looked over
