Inked Hearts: A Bad Boy Next Door Romance

?? FALL FOR THE INK, STAY FOR THE HEAT. ?? ????? "Ryder is the kind of tattooed bad boy who wrecks your rules and steals your heart without saying a word. I couldn't stop turning pages." – Reader Review You know that feeling when life hands you a script, and all you're supposed to do is follow the lines? That was me, Lena Rose, living the life my mother had planned since I was born. Fashion shows, perfect image, no say in my own California story. My little wishlist for happiness was pretty basic, nothing out of this world: a dog (ASAP!), a cozy apartment, a car that didn't pollute more than Chernobyl, a job that didn't feel like a cage, and to finally chase my art. ?? But instead, I was just a puppet on a catwalk, chauffeured around in a car I couldn't even drive, not when my mom panics about me hitting someone. Oh, and don't get me started on her hatred of dogs. Then, I saw an ad. It felt like a sign, my chance to break free. Three hundred bucks, two suitcases, and a one-way ticket to London. Goodbye, perfect but empty life. ?? That's when I found Inkphoric. A tattoo studio that quickly became home. I found my people there, my tribe, the family I never knew I needed. And then, Ryder came into the picture. The kind of guy who doesn't just walk into a room, he owns it. Tattoos everywhere, a smirk that could make you forget your name, and eyes that hold secrets you'd be crazy to ask about. Every word from him feels like a challenge, but damn if I'm not tempted to take him up on it. ?? This is life unscripted, and it's wild. ?? Book 1 of 3 in the Ink & Fire Series — a steamy, emotional ride where passion and rebellion collide.
