London, 1742. In the brutal underworld of bare-knuckle prizefighting, Clark Phillips is a contradiction.

A former naval surgeon's mate, he fights with chilling anatomical precision—targeting nerve clusters, dislocating joints, and breaking bones with the cold efficiency of a man who knows the human body better than any living fighter. He does not fight for glory. He fights to survive. He fights to buy a tavern and escape the blood-soaked sawdust forever.

When Clark stumbles bleeding into Margaret Palmer's struggling circulating library, he expects fear. Instead, she sees the scholar behind the scars—the man who handles rare medical folios with the same hands that shatter jaws. As the corrupt Lord Harrington tightens his grip on the London prize ring, Clark must choose: throw the championship fight and save Margaret's library, or risk everything to win their freedom.

But Clark has been studying anatomy his entire life. And he knows exactly where to strike.

A sweeping historical romance set in the brutal world of 18th-century bare-knuckle boxing—where gentlemen bet fortunes on broken bones, and love is forged in sawdust and silk.
