Karmen Davis doesn't do fragile things. She tattoos other people's pain onto their skin and keeps her own buried under cheap vodka and the hum of a needle. Kai shows up quiet and steady and too perceptive for his own good, and she knows exactly what he is - the kind of person who stays until it kills them.
It's not just a romance; it's a reckoning. A dance between protection and heartbreak.
