Ink & Canvas

ྀི The rules of a fifteen-year friendship are simple:

Never let Reed Blackwood swallow your pink erasers (learned the hard way in third grade).

Always make sure he drinks water after a wild night out.

Never fall for him.

For Maddie Winslow, keeping that last rule has always been easy. She's focused on surviving her brutal assistant job at an art gallery and finally getting her artwork noticed. But coming back home after college changes everything. The lanky boy she grew up with is gone, replaced by a towering, tatted-up tattoo artist who runs his own studio and wields a dangerous amount of charm.

Reed has always kept his feelings for Maddie locked down. She's his best friend, his anchor, and the one person who sees past his rugged exterior. But when Maddie's career takes a frustrating turn, Reed steps up to protect her, pushing their usual playful banter into territory that feels entirely new-and entirely unplatonic.

She works with canvas. He works with ink. But when their two worlds collide, the masterpiece they create might just change their lives forever. ྀི
