Xavier Mercer has always lived fast - motorcycles, tattoos, and a past he never talks about. Before New York, there was heartbreak so sharp it nearly broke him for good. Right before college, he lost the girl he thought he'd spend forever with, and nothing has been the same since.
In the city, he carries the weight of it quietly. The tattoos on his skin are reminders of everything he's been through, but underneath, he's still the same - loyal, steady, hopelessly romantic. He believes in love, even when it hurts. Especially when it hurts.
Then Rena crashes into his life. She's guarded, complicated, and determined to keep her heart locked away. Xavier should know better, but he can't walk away. Not when she feels like the one thing he's been waiting for, even if she swears she doesn't believe in forever.
Love has burned him before. But this time, Xavier isn't afraid of the fire.
Stand alone novel, following the character Xavier in the book fuck it, I love you a part of the leather & ink serious. This is a standalone novel, excluded from the leather & ink series.
'"Can you spread your legs a little farther for me, baby?" he asks me, his voice a low whisper.
I nod, doing exactly as I'm told, and he bites down on his lower lip.
"Good girl," he breathes, and those two words alone do the most wicked things to me.
His fingers trail even farther north until he reaches the hem of my underwear. His eyes meet mine and I have to let out a shaky breath, holding on tight to him to keep myself stable.
"Yes or no?" he asks me quietly, and I nod frantically.'

Lexi Brooks' love life was suddenly flipped upside down when she was kissed by Bryce Bradshaw the day before he mysteriously moved away. It left her heart in a twist, until her mind was trapped elsewhere when 'The Incident' occurred; quite possibly the hardest thing she'd ever go through.
But Bryce always had it easy. He was the heartthrob, the bad boy, the perfect guy. He had the looks, the talent, and the charisma.
Though to Lexi's surprise, on the rare occasion she could catch him out of the spotlight, she saw something else there.
She could tell that he was a little distant. He could tell that she was a little different.
The only crucial detail:
He simply left without a word.
