Etched in Ink (Paperback or Softback)

She is the flower soothing my soul, and I am the thorn protecting her.

With dark secrets etched in his soul and on his skin, Kain Kessler is a talented tattoo artist who does not believe in love. But that belief changes when he meets a beautiful woman who stuns him on the spot. He’s determined to make her his, even after she rejects him.

An eager and resourceful young florist, Eva Collins dreams of owning her own flower shop—and that’s all she wants. One serious heartbreak was enough for her . . . until a family member sets her up with an irresistible man who’s much older than her. When she’s kidnapped and tossed into the terrifying underbelly of a black market operation, she gathers every ounce of courage to survive.

Eva wants nothing more than to erase the cruelty Kain has suffered, and all he wants is to protect the woman he loves from the darkness that wants them both dead.

Etched in Ink is an age-gap, slow burn, he falls first, morally gray billionaire, and a suspenseful contemporary romance. It is Book One in the Etched series but can be read as a standalone.

Caution: This book contains sexual content, profanity, and violence. Recommended for 18+.
