Inked By My Hero

A Small-Town Romantic Suspense

I swore I’d never fall for another bad boy—especially not the tattooed stranger who made me feel safe... then made me beg.

Rick Ashton is the last man I should trust—too rough, too private, too good at hiding how dangerous he really is.
But when my ex starts circling again, Rick doesn’t flinch. He moves in with me and my boys.

He says it’s temporary.

Then he grips my waist like he’s starving.
Watches me sleep like I’m already his.
Whispers things at midnight that burn hotter than his hands on my skin.

I know better. I’ve made this mistake before.
But with Rick—every time I say no, my body says don’t stop.

And then I fall.
Hard.

Just when I think I’ve found the one man who won’t hurt me—
My ex exposes Rick’s criminal background, telling CPS that I’ve got a dangerous man around our kids.

Now I could I lose my boys and the safety I've found in Rick's arms
But I'll be damned if I'm going to let Jeremy destroy my life.
