Joshua Fatu, 40, has ink in his veins and art in his soul. As a talented tattoo artist working in his family's thriving shop, he's known for precision, passion, and keeping his heart off-limits. With six brothers, one sister, and a tight-knit Samoan family, Joshua's life is full-loud, loyal, and built on legacy. But behind every design he carves into skin, there's a piece of himself he never shows anyone.
Naveah Jackson, 22, is a black British-American entrepreneur with dreams as bold as her curls. Running a booming unisex salon alongside Trinity Fatu, Joshua's sister-in-law, she's confident, creative, and determined to leave her mark-without letting love distract her.
When a family event throws them together, sparks fly-unexpected, undeniable, and impossible to ignore. He's twice her age, grounded and guarded. She's young, fearless, and full of light. What starts as friendly banter soon turns into late-night talks, lingering glances, and a connection neither of them saw coming.
But can two people from such different worlds find balance between duty, desire, and destiny?
Because once Joshua sketches her into his world, he realizes some marks aren't meant to fade...
