 Enemies to lovers and lovers to enemies. 
 Jason has some issues, mainly keeping his anger in check. He's also confused and was brought up to hate a part of himself. Coming back home wasn't easy but what he felt needed to be done. All he has to do is lose one fight. 
 But how can he lose when he sees his high school crush in the audience. Instead of losing he wants to show his old crush what he's all about. Losing be damned. 
 But what he didn't know, is that his crush is also now his punisher after he loses the MC tons of money for not losing. 
 Originally thinking he's in trouble with the MC he tries to show no fear, but what Hyde has in mind is anything but punishment. 
 Jason wants to give to Hyde and give in to Hyde but he's confused with what that makes him. Hyde and Jason have quite the push pull relationship but also steamy in a dark sort of way. 
 Did I like this novella? Yes, but it was too short for me to completely feel the dark bond between Hyde and Jason. Thankfully there will be more from this series and more from Hyde and Jason. Was it the type of MC I preferred? Kind of, but I think I still wanted it more dark. However, I did like the dichotomy that was Hyde with his family and his MC. Was this typical K.A. Merikan? Hmmmm, it was but it wasn't. It was almost too tame for them this time around, but I did still enjoy it.
