Two souls, too many secrets.
What makes the criminal organizations of Phoenix, Arizona so efficient, and so untraceable?
Charlotte Andersen doesn't know, nor does she care to find out. She just wants to tattoo her heart out and stay on the bad guys' good sides. But when one of her regular clients invites her to a glitzy party with all the city's most dangerous in attendance, she can't help but accept. She's neutral ground, after all. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Arsen Volkov never wanted a tattoo. He was only in the shop because of his brother's midday appointment. Yet something about the zany, red-haired, spitfire of an artist makes him want to change his mind. But how can he justify his attraction to her when they come from two different worlds? Not to mention species...
She's determined to wear him down, and he's determined to keep her out of his world.
Only one can succeed.
