She’s a fighter. He’s a test. Together, they’re about to rewrite the rules.
When Justine, a fiercely built nurse with a past forged in hardship, stands her ground against a powerful gym enforcer, she sets in motion a private fight that no one sees coming. Zachary, the gym’s acting manager and a principled competitor, is sent to deal with her—but what begins as a test of strength quickly becomes a challenge of values.
Their battle is brutal. Honest. Unforgettable.
But what follows is even more surprising.
In the bruised stillness of dawn, a new code emerges—one written not by fists, but by grace, courage, and the quiet power of honor.
By Principle Alone is a dramatic, character-driven novella about strength in all its forms—physical, moral, and relational. It’s a story of earned respect, unexpected connection, and the fight that truly matters after the final bell rings.
