Cassius Valencia is in his final year at Redwood University. His life is already complicated with school, work, and supporting his younger siblings. He has no time for love or relationships until his sister surprises him with a new roommate. Living with a disability makes it hard to be independent, but Melody Watson is determined. Even if it means rooming with the hot tattoo artist she had a one-night stand with. Cassius is more than aware their unforgettable night is a thing of the past, but her insecurities get under his skin, and he’s determined to change that. Melody is kind, sweet, and deserves to see the beauty behind her scars. And the more time he spends with her, the more he’s inclined to put his heart before his responsibilities and make her his. Tattooed Hearts is a standalone, dual POV, roommates-to-lovers, slow-burn romance.
