SYNOPSIS

I’m a world famous tattoo artist with a six month waiting list. Everybody’s begging me to put my ink on them. I’m the hottest shit in L.A., and can get any girl I want. So the last thing I expect is for Ash Carter to walk into my shop and blow me off.

I’ve spent the last seven years screwing half the women in the northern hemisphere, but nobody could come close to the girl I left behind. Ash was my world. But in order to protect her, I had to let her go. It was the biggest mistake of my life. And now I’ll do anything to get her back.

It’s been seven years since we last spoke. Seven long years of trying to ignore the memory of her skin, her eyes, her incredible confidence. She is everything I remember. Still stubborn and feisty and sexy as hell. They say you should forgive and forget. But Ash can never forget what I did. And I can never forgive myself.

She’s left a permanent mark on my heart.

But even if she takes me back, will we be able to overcome the past? Will we be able to move forward towards our future?

EXCERPT

“You want something to drink?” she calls from some other room.

“Sure. Something strong.”

“Vodka ok?”

“Always.”

I pace around the room a little, lust still pumping me full of adrenaline, taking in the details, stopping to study a Basquiat print above a bookcase. Flashbacks of conversations we had in her bed rushing through my mind, until she clinks some glasses behind me and I turn around.

“Here you go,” she says, handing me the glass.

I take it from her, sip slowly, but my eyes stay on hers—a living work of art even more captivating than what’s on the walls. The alcohol burns, hitting the spot, but I’m intoxicated enough by the room, by the smell, by her. She must sense it, because she breaks my gaze, eyelashes flickering away as she smiles down, but her coyness only ignites the fire building within me.

I put my drink down and throw her on the couch so I can gaze at those lush curves, trace my eyes down the length of that magnificent body.

I trace a finger around her ear, down her neck. She trembles like a leaf under my touch, skin cool with goosebumps. Her breath quickening, hot and heavy.

I climb on top of her and we devour each other’s mouths as I tug her pants off and she pulls her shirt over her head. We roll around on the couch, her hands squeezing my cock, my mouth sucking each nipple until her breath shudders, her fingers clawing down my back. I need to taste her.

I pull away, enjoying how she hisses with unresolved desire.

“Why are you stopping?” she asks, her voice tinged with desperation.

I growl, low and firm, “I’m not. I’m going to eat you.”

MARY’S REVIEW

LOVE & INK has everything!!

Second chance romance. CHECK!
Just the right amount of angst. CHECK!
Engaging from the start. CHECK!
Undeniable chemistry! CHECK!!!

JD’s best ever AND I totally Flove Teo and Ash. Their story so sensual, passionate and raw that my heart stood still at times! Was it fate or luck that brought them together for a second chance? To grasp what had eluded them for so many years. Was it finally time for Teo & Ash against the world?

Teo and Ash were teenagers in love. From different backgrounds and defying all odds it worked. They were so in love and tired of hiding what they had the two hatched a plan to make it public. Yet, when the time came to let everyone in on their secret, parents be damned, it vanished into thin air.

Teo had grown up in the wrong part of town raised by a dad who had a criminal background. It was only natural that he would be given a bum rap by that alone. Ash had grown up with everything she could want and need. Her family active in politics and always on the go.

Now it’s seven years later. Seven years of heartbreak, memories and moving on to new lives. When a trip to one of the LA’s most popular tattoo shops unexpectedly finds Ash face to face with Teo! All the years of hurt and pain come rushing back… so much so that Ash left without her tattoo and unanswered questions she could not voice.

But what happens when unresolved feelings begin to clash with the past? Both Teo & Ash knew that their hearts had never let go of the love they had for each other. What would it take to let go of these unresolved questions? Would Teo finally be able to let go of the secrets that had haunted him during this time?

LOVE & INK is JD’s BEST to date! An excellent read that is so much more than just a second chance. It’s about the power of true love. A love that is forgiving and all-encompassing.

BTW, Ginger & Kayla were pretty awesome too!!
