The Ink Between Us

Arymani doesn't do drama.

At twenty-one, she's built a name for herself as a respected tattoo artist, drives the car she worked hard for, and keeps her circle small. While everybody else is caught up in rumors, relationships, and city politics, Arymani stays focused on her money, her art, and her peace.

Cross "CJ" Johnson lives a completely different life.

Loyal to the people he's grown up with, CJ is constantly surrounded by problems, secrets, and situations that seem to follow him no matter where he goes. He's learned not to trust easily and not to get attached.

Their worlds were never supposed to cross.

But when Arymani's best friend starts talking to one of CJ's closest friends, the distance between their lives begins to disappear.

What starts as random encounters turns into conversations neither of them expected.
And as feelings grow, so do the complications.

Because in a city where everybody knows somebody, the wrong connection can change everything.

Some people leave scars.

Some people become them.

And some stories are written in ink.
