Alex Scott is the devil in a suit. Rude, obnoxious, and hellbent on evicting me from the tattoo studio my parents and I built from the ground up. This shop isn’t just a business—it’s my heart, my history, and the only thing that kept me from falling apart when my world shattered twelve months ago. But in the middle of the chaos, there’s one saving grace. A client. Xander. He’s secretive, slipping in and out of my life whenever he pleases, but the connection between us is undeniable. The only problem? I have no idea who he really is. While Alex Scott floods my inbox with eviction threats, Xander sweeps me off my feet. One is a ruthless, brooding force, determined to take everything from me. The other is kind, patient, and protective—not just of me, but also of my autistic brother. Conflict. Betrayal. Lust. Angst. No matter what, my heart is destined to break. The only question is… which man will be there to put it back together?
