Ink and Intuition: A Steamy Small-Town Bad Boy Romance

Grace Delaney is finished with chaos. After a brutal divorce and years of putting everyone else first, she escapes to a quiet coastal town for a clean slate no drama, no distractions. Her plan is simple: build her new therapy practice, keep her head down, and steer clear of complicated men.

Then she meets Jax Maddox.

Tattooed, brooding, and intensely private, Jax owns the shop next door. He’s temptation wrapped in ink and silence. When Grace asks him to redesign a tattoo tied to her past, he agrees on one condition: he won’t ink someone he’s drawn to.

From there, the lines start to blur. Stolen looks stretch into late-night talks. Grace glimpses the patient artist beneath the rough exterior, while Jax struggles to keep the walls around his past from crumbling. Letting her in could unravel more than he’s ready to face.

As emotions sharpen and solitude feels less safe, both must choose: hold on to the comfort of distance, or take the risk of something real.

Can Grace trust the one man who sees every mark she hides?
