Marked by the Possessive Biker

Heat & Ink

2025

A few months ago we danced. We flirted. I’ve never wanted a woman more. But she was too young for me. Too unguarded. Wide-eyed college girls with curves for days don’t end up with possessive bikers that have blood on their hands. Somehow I found the strength to push her away. Now she’s back, walking into my tattoo shop and asking another man to put his mark on her skin. Over my dead body. She gets inked, it’ll be by my hand or no ones. My bad boy biker rep might not match with her sunshine. But I know we belong together, so this time I'm not letting her go. This time I’m claiming her. Mine. Forever. Welcome to Heat & Ink where hot possessive tattoo artists leave their mark in more ways than one. The Heat & Ink series mixes Contemporary, Sci Fi Romance, and Paranormal in three standalone stories by best-selling STEAMY authors, Hope Ford, Michele Mills, and Olivia T. Turner.

Marked by the Wild Orc

2025

I'm broke and need a job fast. The best tattoo artist in the Pacific Northwest is hiring a manager for his tattoo shop. So I don' t have any experience... A few lies on my resume can fix that. Anyway, how hard can it be? I get the job and quickly find out that running a tattoo shop is very hard. Especially dealing with my new wild, brooding boss. He's an orc. An orc with a fiery temper. He's not all bad though, with a deep love for his three black cats. But for me? Not so much. We fight on a daily basis (usually while I'm taking care of the cats). But it's not long before this huge, hard-working orc with a purring cat snuggled in his hulking green arms instantly softens my attitude. He starts grabbing all my attention. Those tusks really do it for me, and I can't seem to take my eyes off them. But it would never work. He's much too old for me. And way too grumpy. He fires me (twice) claiming it’s too dangerous to keep me by his side because “orcs claim their brides in the dark of winter.” Whatever that means. I find out on the first snowfall when he marks me with his name in a place I'll leave to your imagination. As the snow falls, so do I... Deeper and deeper into the arms of this hot, wild orc.

Marked by the Grouchy Grizzly

2025

I finally went to get a tattoo. It was supposed to be a beautiful white lily, but the big grumpy tattoo artist had something else in mind. Only, he didn’t freaking tell me before he got started. When it’s time for the big reveal, I don’t see a pretty flower. I see his name. Tattooed across the back of my shoulder. He says I’m his. That I’m his mate. My friends tell him to go to hell. That we’re suing. But this grouchy beast isn’t shaken. He doesn’t care one bit. He keeps saying that he’s marked me, so I belong to him now. The worst thing is, I think he may be right. This can’t be happening. Fate can’t be so cruel as to bind me to a jerk like him. I can’t be mated to this big grumpy bear shifter, can I? CAN I???

Marked By The Possessive Polar Bear

2025

Adrian Cross was never supposed to walk back into my life—especially not looking like that. Towering. Tattooed. With eyes that burn hotter than his tattoo gun. He’s my brother’s best friend. A polar bear shifter. My lifelong crush. And the new artist filling in at our shop while Magnus is out. He says I’m his fated mate. That he’s known since we were kids. He says that he’s waited long enough and he’s done pretending. Now, he’s all grown up, and he’s not just putting tattoos on skin. He’s leaving something deeper. Something permanent. Because tattoos aren’t the only mark he’s making. He’s claiming me. Body, heart, soul, and every filthy thought in between. _Welcome to Heat & Ink where hot possessive tattoo artists leave their mark in more ways than one.

Marked by the Protective Biker

2025

He’s not supposed to touch me. I’m definitely not supposed to want him. But rules blur when a broody, inked inmate looks at you like you’re his salvation. I’m the sunshine counselor that sees the good in him. He’s the tattooed ex-con with a shady past. We had one night the night before he walked free and I told myself it was over. But he watches me when I leave work. He protects me from a distance. He tells me we’re wrong together… But he keeps coming back. And when I show up at his door, desperate for answers, he finally stops running. He puts his mark on me the only way he knows how. Ink on skin Heat in every stroke. A secret tattoo that says what neither of us can. We don’t make sense. We don’t fit. But somehow… I already belong to him.

Marked by the Scarred Orc

2025

My fierce older sister, Mia Irontree, recently married an orc firefighter and my life is now wall-to-wall orcs. It’s cray. I think orcs are perfectly fine…but marrying one seems a bit much. In ancient times, orcs used to kidnap women off the street and fill them with their orc sons. Ugh. No thank you. Mia’s husband is a great guy, but he’s basically the only orc I trust. One night, though, after a few too many happy hour shots and a full-on bar crawl, I stumble into an orc tattoo shop called Heat & Ink. Wherein a scarred, shirtless orc named Harken Overlord pulls me onto his chair. At first, I strangely enjoy the possessive touch of his big, rough hands. Then I scream when a hot branding iron lands on my... He licks my skin to take the hurt away. What the heck? The tiny tattoo of a cat I asked for is now Harken’s mark? I gasp with horror and blast him with all the salty language I can muster. As I slam out the front door of the shop, Harken thunders behind me, “You’ll be back, female, because you’re mine.” Uh huh. We’ll see. This orc has no idea what he’s unleashed. Welcome to Heat & Ink where hot possessive tattoo artists leave their mark in more ways than one.

But just as I'm about to crack, she walks into my life, all soft curves and shy smiles. The second I smell her sweet intoxicating scent, the beast goes quiet. We know she's mine. The torturous wait is finally over. All that's left to do is mark her. And I'll do it while bending her over, growling against her skin, and saying the filthiest things she's ever heard until she's begging for it. The fun is about to begin.
