Description

Five dishonored soldiers. Former Special Forces. One last mission.

These are the men of Hard Ink.

Trouble just walked into Nicholas Rixey's tattoo parlor. Becca Merritt is warm, sexy, wholesome—pure temptation to a very jaded Nick. He's left his military life behind to become co-owner of Hard Ink Tattoo, but Becca is his ex-commander's daughter. Loyalty won't let him turn her away. Lust has plenty to do with it too.

With her brother presumed kidnapped, Becca needs Nick. She just wasn't expecting to want him so much. As their investigation turns into all-out war with an organized crime ring, only Nick can protect her. And only Becca can heal the scars no one else sees.

Desire is the easy part. Love is as hard as it gets. Good thing Nick is always up for a challenge . . .

“Joining the Avon ranks is hot new star Kaye, who kicks off a suspenseful and electrifying new series featuring tarnished soldiers trying to regain their stolen honor. In the Hard Ink series, several former Army Special Forces soldiers who survived a deadly attack in Afghanistan were blamed for it and forced out of the service. The mystery of exactly what happened and why appears to be the thread that will span the series. Becca and Nick are well-rounded and compelling characters from the start, and the collision of their lives makes for sizzling danger with a spicy edge! Kaye is one to watch!” - RT Book Reviews (top pick)
