Every session at the tattoo parlor is a battle of wills between you and the enigmatic artist who refuses to finish your sleeve until you confess the dark secret you're hiding. But when he corners you against his desk after hours, the lines between professional and personal blur—and the truth might not be the only thing spilling out.

She knows more about Ronan's past than he'd like, and she may be the key to the truth Tessa is hiding—or the one who forces it into the open.
