King of the Pit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244790269)

He built a kingdom out of blood and concrete.
She's here to burn it down-or rebuild it from the cage up.

In the underground fight scene, Roman Vega is more than a promoter-he's the King of the Pit. Fighters owe him purses, hospital envelopes, and sometimes their lives. Regulators want his head, investors want his profit, and every punch thrown in his warehouse empire lands on his conscience.

When numbers-obsessed matchmaker Elena Park walks into The Pit with a tablet full of data and a mandate from the money men, she's supposed to "civilize" his circus: smarter matchups, fewer funerals, more streaming potential. Roman thinks she's a corporate plant who's never smelled blood on concrete. Elena thinks he's a charming monster hiding behind cash and charisma.

Then the card she designs explodes in the cage-in all the right ways. No ambulance sirens. No body bags. Just fighters who get to walk out under their own power.

The more they rebuild the cards together, the more dangerous the chemistry becomes.

When the state finally comes for Roman's kingdom, Elena faces an impossible choice: help bury the so-called king...or stand beside him and gamble everything on a fighter-first league with real rules, real safety-and real love at the center of it.

King of the Pit is a gritty, emotional MMA romance in the Bare Knuckle Hearts universe, perfect for readers who love morally gray kings, razor-sharp heroines, found-family fighters, and redemption arcs that hit as hard as the main event. Can be read as a steamy standalone, but hits even harder after Bad Bloodlines and Cutman.
