Mina never meant to fall for her sexy tattoo artist, Eric, or to become a model. But when she’s asked to pose in a photo shoot for the Hot Ink tattoo studio, she can’t say no. She finally gets a look at Eric’s tattoos when they’re cajoled into posing together, and in a few breathtaking moments, an on-camera kiss turns the passion they’re asked to fake into something very real, leaving them both wanting more. The only problem is that Mina’s not the glamour girl she looks like on the Hot Ink posters, or even in a tattoo magazine. She’s only twenty-four, but being the sole guardian of her disabled younger sister has left her feeling much older. Will Eric still be interested when he gets to know the girl behind the ink and the make-up and finds out that she and her little sister are a package deal?

{book four of the Gang love series} *"Oh shit hi." "I'm gonna apologize now but i've been wanting to do this all night." he backed me against the wall. I took in a deep breath. He leaned down gently pressing his lips against mine. He pulled away. "Again I'm sorry," he whispered. I leaned up and kissed him. I wrapped my arms around him. He tapped the back of my thighs. I jumped up wrapping my legs around him. "Bathroom?" he whispered against my lips. I nodded. He walked us into the bathroom and pushed me against the closed door. He went back to kissing me. I opened my mouth letting him push his tongue into my mouth. He pressed himself against me. He kissed up and down my neck. "What's with you and bathrooms?" I breathed out. "Bit more private than a hallway and club, don't you agree baby?"* College is for finding and reinventing yourself.

I, Nova Brielle fell in love with my kidnapper. I'm not sure how or why. Actually- maybe it was the way his eyes shone when he was deep in thought. Maybe it was because underneath everything he was a good person. Or maybe it was because once he loved someone or something, he took care of that person or object and did everything possible to make sure it never got hurt. I didn't plan on falling in love with him. But I did, and there's nothing I can do to change that.
