I never saw him coming.

I walked away from an abusive relationship, determined to create a new and better life. Swearing off guys seemed like an easy task until I started working at Life in Ink.

Adrian is the hot tattoo artist at the shop I work for. I've stared at him from afar for months. He's grumpy and the most I get out of him are grunts when I ask questions, but that doesn't deter me from finally working up my nerves to approach him outside of work hours.

I can't deny the chemistry I feel between us, but a threat from my past could make everything tumble to the ground before it's even started.
