Nessa Black has sworn off men after her ex leaves her with a broken heart. But when Harry Styles walks into her London tattoo parlor, her world is rocked.
Harry has never felt about anyone the way he feels about Nessa, but can he convince her to take a chance?

I am about to grab the door handle, when the door pushes back and a cold breeze hits me. I look up and find myself up close and personal with a familiar face, but even I get a shock. Harry Styles is in a word beautiful! I can't help staring. He is taller than I expected and even though he is wearing a black hoodie, sweatpants and vans, it is obvious he is lean and fit. He has the most beautiful blue-green eyes, gorgeous unruly curly brown hair and a smile (complete with a huge dimples), that would make any girl week at the knees
Get a grip Nessa, I tell myself and I snap out of it long enough to hear him say "Hi I'm Harry" and put his hand out so I can shake it-and as hands go it's pretty spectacular, with numerous rings and midnight blue nail polish...
"I'm a monster!" he shouted in my face, his veins popping out on his neck.
I tried to hold my tears but failed, all these months of patience and anger caused my body to shake, my heart was pounding so loud in my chest that my blood was boiling in my veins.
"No Harry! You're not a monster!" I cried out loud, my chest rising and falling from my heavy breathing.
He clenched his jaw and fisted his palms and in seconds, he punched the wall that was behind me right next to me, making me gasp for air. All the anger that built inside me was now replaced by fear as his piercing green eyes turned to a darker shade.
"How can you say that after what I did to you?" he hissed, his hot breath hitting my swollen lips, his nostrils flaring.
I took a deep shakey breath before I parted my lips to answer him.
"Because I can see through you, Harry. I can see your innocence."
