Riley Campbell is no stranger to loss. After losing her father in a car accident at a young age, she decides to forfeit the relationship she has with her mother and move in with an older man at the age of 17. Four years later, after ending the relationship due to being physically abused, she feels the need for a celebratory tattoo; her first of what she expects to be many. Her expectations of the parlor, the artist, and the process are pretty weak as she walks in. Upon entering, she's pleasantly surprised. Covered in tattoos, handsome, mysterious, and muscular, Blake West is not at all what Riley expected to find, but exactly what she feels she needs. Blake is the mysterious owner of Blurred Lines, a tattoo parlor that not only has provided him with a steady income, but in the past supplied a constant stream of women into his life. Now, however, things for him are much different. Blake is a recovering sex addict, and is focusing on being faithful. Details of his sordid past, however, are sketchy at best. As he begins the process of tattooing her for the first time, Riley feels an almost addiction to the process, the feeling of being tattooed, the ink on her skin, and ultimately, Blake. As the tattooing of Riley continues, so does her knowledge of Blake. Life-long secrets unveil themselves, and as they do, she realizes not only how much they are alike, but the truth surrounding her father's death. "Everyone has secrets; revealing them is simply a matter of finding out where to dig." AUTHORS NOTE: HEA, stand-alone, no cheating, no sex outside the relationship.

Stevie is a tattoo artist and a free spirit. She’s covered in tattoos, cusses like a sailor, and is quite brash. She lives payday to payday, can barely pay her rent, and uses a bicycle as her only mode of transportation. Every man in her sordid past has abused her, and she’s reached the end of her rope. Only attracted to tattooed alpha males, and primarily bikers, she begins to wonder if her choices in men have been poor. One day as she stands in a torrential downpour without a ride, a handsome man in a suit offers her a lift in his Porsche. And she can’t help but wonder… Wilson is a successful businessman and a self-made millionaire. He’s handsome, intelligent, loyal, and unlike many other men with similar interests and wealth, he’s got an extremely colorful personality. But he also has a secret. While having one of the worst days of his life, he meets Stevie. Immediately, his views on matters, and on life, change. And he chooses to change her life in return. But Stevie and Wilson are from two totally different worlds - worlds that historically don’t mesh well. Can a self-made millionaire find love in someone who has nothing to offer him but herself? Can a woman who has only known pain, abuse, and inconsistency see value in stability and sincerity? Quite possibly only if both halves are willing to meet somewhere in the middle. Pretty In Ink is a stand-alone modern day Cinderella story. It has no cheating, no sex outside the relationship, and a heartwarming HEA. Be forewarned, this is erotic romance, and it is intended for audiences who are mature, and at least over 18 years of age.
