Rika, the Cuban Flame

Rika Hardric isn't just a fighter. She's a phenomenon. The reigning queen of women's MMA, she dominates the featherweight division with a ruthless streak and an undefeated mindset. Millions follow her every move, but Rika doesn't play nice. She's sharp-tongued, untouchable, and unapologetically single. The Cuban Flame doesn't submit. She makes others kneel.

Lucas is just another overworked, debt-ridden pre-med student, drowning in textbooks and barely scraping by in his tiny studio apartment. His life is ordinary. Until he stumbles into the Hardric Gym and crosses paths with Rika, who immediately calls him pale and accuses him of trespassing.

During a live demonstration, Rika traps Lucas in multiple submission holds... and his unexpected reaction explodes across social media. Mocked, ridiculed, and slapped with a humiliating hashtag, his world spirals out of control. Meanwhile, Rika brushes it off and moves on, but soon wonders if Lucas might be exactly who she's been looking for all along.
