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
