With pain comes strength. My name is Hazel Perry. You, however, can call me Lioness. I live and breathe MMA -24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. That ring is mine. I'm the Queen. Fierce, untouchable, and undefeated. I've been asked how I willingly subject myself to such an intense, brutal career. My answer… Because it feels good. The rush, the high, how all other pain in your life numbs away into nothing. It's made me stronger. Every single stitch of pain I've experienced -both physically and emotionally- has made me stronger. I've learned to protect myself. I don't trust easily and I never allow others to get too close. Until Knox Carr. He turned my world right side up and showed me how to feel again. How to live again. How to love again. Through the bouts of separation and trials along the way, will we make it out alive?

With strength comes dependence. I thought I had it all. The Title. The Pro status. The man. I thought I’d finally left the past where it belonged, thought the future would be nothing but a bright ray of light with Knox by my side. I was wrong. In seeking answers, I opened the doorway to a terrifying, psychotic ride no one was prepared for. And through that very door, the past -both his and mine- somehow wove its way as one and slithered back into our lives, creating a fresh hell that stirred doubt and resentment within us. Will our bond, our love, be strong enough to supersede the forces threatening to break us, or will we swiftly crumble to the ground, piece by piece?
