Grace Delaney is done with chaos. After a painful divorce and years of putting others first, she moves to a quiet coastal town to start fresh—no drama, no distractions. Her plan? Focus on her new therapy practice, heal quietly, and avoid complicated men at all costs.

Then she meets Jax Maddox.

Tattooed, brooding, and fiercely private, Jax isn’t just the owner of the shop next door—he’s temptation in human form. When Grace asks him to redesign a tattoo tied to her past, he agrees… with one condition: he won’t ink someone he’s attracted to.

The line between them blurs with every stolen glance and late-night conversation. Grace sees through Jax’s rough exterior to the careful artist beneath. But Jax has spent years keeping his past locked away—and letting Grace in might unravel more than either of them is ready for.

As emotions ignite and boundaries fall, both must decide: are they willing to risk the safety of solitude for the promise of something real?

Sometimes the deepest healing begins with the sharpest ink. Will she dare to trust the one man who sees every part of her… even the ones she hides?
