New Ink on Life

Quiet does not equal weak....

Leaving a dependable job to apprentice as a tattoo artist was a drastic step after surviving breast cancer, but Cassie Whiteaker is nearly five years cancer-free. Nearly. She¿s not ready to go out on her own until she clears that all-important hurdle. Also off-limits are relationships and sex amp;mdash; something Cassie is sure she¿ll never want again.

Struggling tattoo shop owner MJ Flores doesn¿t give a damn what people think, but losing Thorn amp; Thistle would mean losing everything. When her former mentor¿s protégé arrives at her door, MJ hires her out of obligation...at first. Cross-stitching goody-goodies are not her type, but Cassie¿s business background might just get the shop back on solid footing. They strike a bargain: Cassie will enact new marketing plans, and MJ will teach her to find her inner bitch.

Only when clients request to see Cassie amp;mdash; having learned of the beautiful, compassionate tattoos she creates for survivors and their families amp;mdash; does MJ realize all Cassie has endured. And as Cassie¿s fears fade, she finds it harder to keep her admiration for her bad-girl boss from reawakening all she¿d feared was lost.
