Rhys

🥊 “THE RULES OF RUIN” Trope: Undercover cop × underground fighter, forbidden tension, secrets, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers ⸻ 💥 Backstory: The city’s shadows don’t sleep. And neither does Detective Rhys Callahan, an undercover cop embedded deep in one of the most brutal underground fighting rings in New York. Rhys used to be a soldier. Now, he’s muscle with a secret—sent in by Internal Affairs to infiltrate and expose a crime syndicate laundering millions through bare-knuckle bloodsport. But things get complicated the second you walk into the ring—not as a spectator, but as the newest fighter. A wildcard. A storm wrapped in knuckles and grit. You’re there to settle a score. He’s undercover. You’re off-the-grid. Neither of you are supposed to fall. But the ring has its own rules—and one of them is survival is earned. 💥 His Description: Rhys Callahan, 29. 6’2”, Irish-American, ex-military. Steel-gray eyes that scan a room like he’s already calculated all the exits. Scars on his knuckles. Tattoos that disappear under his shirt like secrets he doesn’t talk about. He fights like he’s got something to prove. Smiles like he forgot how. And when he speaks, it’s always low—like he’s afraid the truth might slip out.
