"Random hookups were my way of feeling like someone admired me, because until, like, a month ago I had absolutely no admiration for myself" I say, finally opening up to someone about my internal turmoil.
Myles reaches forward, kissing the inside of my elbow where my 'i win' tattoo lays. "Perfect" he breathes out and when he looks me in the eyes, I forget why I was ever scared to feel this way.

Joana & Myles
•
Joana Collymore finds herself living the life she always wanted. Having an apartment in New York to herself, owning a successful company and constantly being surrounded by friends seems to be the new normal for her. But now that it has been almost six years since the darkness of her past, Joana might just be ready to accept love again. Or does the fear she felt before keep her from discovering health in fondness.
Myles isn't the type to randomly play with girl's feelings. He's lived with two sisters since the youngest one was born 16 years ago, so he respects women's feelings too much. But after a very public failed relationship, Myles finds it hard to keep putting himself in the position of getting hurt or hurting someone, so maybe some hookups won't hurt as much. Does he keep that mindset when a new 'friend' comes into his life?

The Tattoo Artist (SAMPLE, NOW PUBLISHED ON AMAZON)
"If you're brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello." - Paulo Coelho With that said, goodbye to the wrong woman in my life and hello to my reward-whoever she is... I owe my newfound thought process to the woman I befriended and become my best friend for life--Shiloh. She taught me many things. What she taught me the most was how to love, that I can love, and that I will love. My heart expanded like never before the day she had her little girl, and I was over the moon with how that moment made me feel--even though that moment cost me ten stitches to the forehead. I enjoyed the swelling feeling of my heart so much that it had me wishing I'd, too, find my soulmate. I never thought I'd hear the day for me to say I'd like to find that remarkable woman to settle down with for the rest of my life and wish to expand my family tree. But here I am, looking to do just that. The day Sawyer walked into my Tattoo parlor, my heart reacted in a way it never had before for any woman I crossed paths with. The beautiful blonde had my heart racing, my palms sweating, and the unit behind my pants twitching. I also felt nervous and feverish, which is not like me. And if that's what feeling in love feels like, then I'm determined to do whatever it takes to win her love. Cover artist: www.selfpubbookcovers.com/billwycComplete
