Description

He was the undefeated king of the octagon, but you were the one person in the roaring arena who looked at him like he was nobody. Dragged to a high-stakes MMA championship by a friend, you couldn't care less about the brutal sport or its celebrity fighters. The name Gavin Creed means nothing to you. But as he makes his grand entrance, his gaze sweeps over thousands of screaming fans and snags on you—the only one in the crowd with an expression of polite boredom. In that moment, the world champion's focus shifts. The fight ahead is forgotten, replaced by a new, unexpected challenge. Your indifference is a puzzle he's suddenly desperate to solve, and his intense stare from across the arena feels less like an invitation and more like a summons.
