Morgue's Redemption

She makes death into art. He makes death into a profession. Carmen Reyes built Sacred Ink from nothing—a tattoo parlor in the South Bronx specializing in memorial pieces, where grieving mothers come to carry their children's names and survivors mark what they've endured. When a protection racket decides her shop will pay tribute or burn, Carmen does what she's always done. She tells them to go to hell. Morgue spent years as a combat medic, then an EMT, watching people die despite everything he did to save them. Now he patches up his Gotham Reapers brothers and handles problems that require his particular understanding of anatomy. He doesn't do feelings. Doesn't do attachments. Doesn't do anything but keep his hands steady and his heart numb. But the woman who put six names on his chest—the artist who gave him somewhere to carry his dead—is in trouble. And Morgue isn't asking permission to step in. She saw his grief and made it beautiful. That makes her his. Now a protection racket is hunting her, his compound is under assault, and the tattoo artist with the steady hands and the steel spine is in his bed. Carmen's about to learn that some men kill to protect what's theirs—and Morgue's about to discover that the right woman can make a man who deals in death feel alive again. His woman. His to protect. Anyone who threatens her hands dies. Morgue's Redemption is a full-length, standalone MC romance with a possessive alpha hero, a heroine who never backs down, and an HEA. No cheating, no cliffhanger. This is Book 7 in the Gotham Reapers series.
