Claimed in the Ring: a Forced Proximity Mafia Romance
I was the prize in a bareknuckle boxing match when my brother couldn't pay his debt.
Family means everything. But it cost me my freedom. Now I belong to Finnegan 'Fists' Fitzgerald, the brutal bareknuckle boxer who also collects for the Irish mob. Scarred knuckles. Tattooed arms. Eyes that strip me bare.
He moved me into his apartment. I wake in his sheets. Cook in his kitchen. "Mine," he growls against my neck.
He thinks winning me makes me his. I'm determined to prove him wrong… until his touch becomes my addiction, his protection my only safety. He claimed me like property, yet treats me like diamonds.
But when he crosses the mob boss who wants me back, he'll burn the city down before letting me go.
How do you escape a man you no longer want to run from?
Claimed in the Ring is an Irish mob romance with a possessive hero, forced proximity, and steamy open-door scenes. No cheating, HEA guaranteed.

Claimed in the Ring by Lady March is the kind of dark, dangerous romance that grips you by the throat and doesn’t let go until the last page. It’s brutal, tender, and pulse-pounding—a story where survival and passion collide under the flickering lights of an underground ring.
Shersh never asked for any of this. Her brother’s gambling addiction leaves her drowning in his debt, and “The Tooth”—the ruthless mobster who runs the illegal fights—offers her a way to pay it down: working as a “waitress and card girl.” But when she steps into that world of blood and bets, she realizes the real danger isn’t in the ring—it’s behind the smiles. Her sharp mind spots inconsistencies on the betting board, and suddenly, she’s the one The Tooth wants next. And everyone knows what happens to girls who catch his eye—they disappear.
Enter Finnegan “Fists” Fitzgerald. The moment his eyes lock on Shersh from inside the cage, the entire underground scene changes. He’s a fighter with a past, the kind of man who’s had everything stripped away but his fists and his pride. When someone tries to touch her, Finn’s claim is instant, primal, and public. She should hate him for it—but the pull between them burns hotter than fear.
Their deal starts as protection: she’ll move into his apartment and pretend to be his girlfriend to keep The Tooth off her back. But somewhere between shared meals, stolen glances, and the weight of danger closing in, the line between fake and real blurs. Finn becomes her shield, her safety, and her undoing. And when the mob comes for both of them, love turns from a risk into a rebellion.
Lady March crafts a world where violence and vulnerability coexist—a gritty urban romance pulsing with emotion, devotion, and defiance. Claimed in the Ring isn’t just about fists and fire; it’s about two broken people finding something worth bleeding for.
This story isn’t soft—it’s raw and real, a love that claws its way out of darkness. By the end, you’re not just rooting for Shersh and Finn to win the fight… you’re praying they make it out alive.
