Paradise Pass (Tales from the Margin)

After refusing to throw a match, prize fighter Maximus is framed, sentenced to ten years as a bonded servant, and sold to a stud farm for his exceptional physique. Escape means Maximus is now a fugitive, and he makes his way to the Margin where he can eke out a hard but satisfying existence in the desert, trying to forget his bloody past. New name, new world, new life.

Blind circumstance throws him into the arms of a woman who has been stolen, her past erased, and her future promising only pain and degradation.

They say a person's past predicts their future. On the edge of the desert, in an isolated whorehouse called Paradise, the future of justice is at stake.
