Ink and silver
Eliana Ruiz has never fit in - not with her bold friend group, not in crowded rooms, and definitely not in tattoo shops. Soft-spoken and shy, she's used to being the quiet one in the background, the girl everyone talks over. But when her best friend Megan drags her to her brother's tattoo shop for matching ink, everything changes. Alex Torres is rough around the edges - a tattoo artist with a short temper, a bad attitude, and no interest in love. He doesn't do sweet. He doesn't do gentle. But when he sees Eliana being pushed around by her so-called friends, something in him snaps. What starts as a tense, unexpected moment - a piercing, a few sharp words, a stare that lasts too long - turns into something neither of them can ignore. She's sunshine trying to survive the storm, and he's the storm that can't stop watching her glow. But Alex has walls higher than the ink on his skin, and Eliana's heart has never been brave enough to reach past them.
Bruiseprint
A story of love, pain, and second chances. In a world where friendships crumble and kisses taste of betrayal, some wounds cut deeper than skin. A lover's touch can heal-or destroy.
