Harlem nights never sleep-and neither do secrets.
When Nevaeh Jordan walks into Rhodes Ink & Fade on a drunken whim, she doesn't expect the quiet, tattooed artist in the back to leave a permanent mark on more than just her skin.
Malachi Rhodes is the kind of man who keeps his past buried beneath ink and silence... until her smile starts digging things up.
She's the judge's daughter.
He's the man that judge once sentenced.
And neither of them knows the truth-yet.
Some roads lead to healing.
Other roads lead to her.
