Open Guard

By W.C. Burkhalter

Open Guard is a powerful LGBTQ+ sports drama about Jace Maddox, a rising MMA fighter hiding a truth that could end his career, and save his soul.

Raised to bury his feelings and fight without question, Jace climbs the ranks with silent fury. But when a photo leaks revealing a secret relationship, he's thrust into a media storm that forces him to choose: keep hiding, or fight fully seen.

In a world that teaches men to mask their hearts, Open Guard is a story of love, truth, and the courage to step into the light - fists raised, soul bare.
