Ink and art are in Jaylene Charles’ blood. When her overbearing father died unexpectedly, Jaylene quit her internship with a prominent Berkeley therapist and followed her heart to New Orleans. Finding kindred spirits there, she returned to her tattooing roots and realized her dream of owning her own tattoo shop. Jaylene had everything she thought she wanted when five tattooed, pierced, and broken-hearted rock n’ roll boys challenged her to put her skills, and her heart, to the test. Maggie’s Bones were Metal’s next big thing when tragedy struck, leaving them devastated and at each others’ throats. Their label demanded a follow-up to their latest insanely successful album, and they were running out of time. Hiding out in Louisiana to salvage their career, they sought Jaylene’s help. She immediately feels a connection with D, the broken man with the sorrowful eyes and missing smile, but refuses to let him in. Can Jaylene trust that D’s feelings are more than gratitude? Can the man with the sad eyes make her accept that sometimes love really can cure the haunted?FOR 18+ READERS: ADULT THEMES AND SEXUAL SITUATIONS.
