Ryan is the newest tattoo artist at Montgomery Ink Too and knows the others are curious about his secrets. But he’s not ready to tell them. Not yet. That is…until he meets Abby.

On each other.

Read an excerpt from ASHES TO INK:
She pulled into
Ryan’s driveway, right next to his car, and let out a breath. She’d been right.
He was home.
She didn’t want to
say that he was going to pay for leaving her like that, but it would be pretty
damn close. Anger surged through her veins. She wasn’t mad at Ryan, she was
angry that he’d given up. But his life had been dealt another blow, and he had
turned around and done the same to her.
Well, that just
wouldn’t stand.
She slammed the
car door and made her way to Ryan’s front door. She rang the doorbell, once,
twice, then three times, her hands shaking as she did.
Maybe the
adrenaline from what had happened at the store was finally wearing off and she
was starting to freak out. Well, she could do that later. First, she needed to
make sure that Ryan understood exactly what was going on.
Because there was
no way she’d let it end like this.
It was going to
end on her terms or his. Their terms.
Not Michael’s.
She was about to
ring the doorbell again when Ryan opened the door, his eyes wide, a closed beer
bottle in his hand, and his shirt unbuttoned.
It was very hard
to concentrate on being angry with him and the entire situation when all she
could do was stare at his chest.
His very sexy
chest.
A chest with the
perfect amount of hair that made her want to growl, and ink everywhere there
wasn’t hair.
She really, really
wanted to touch that chest.
But first, she
needed to let her anger out.
“Can I come in?”
she asked as she pushed her way into the house.
She wasn’t usually
this forward. In fact, she was usually only this way with her business. Except
for when she had been in bed with Ryan. Then, she had been just as forward as
he was. And it had been fun. Good. Neither of them fighting for control but
pushing each other to go further. To fly over the edge as they came.
That had been fun.
But her standing
up for herself like this? She wasn’t really good at it.
But she’d be
damned if she let what had happened earlier change and ruin everything.
Ryan closed the
door behind her and then turned around on his heel. “I guess you can just come
in.”
“Thanks. We need
to talk.”
He pinched the
bridge of his nose and let out a breath. “I don’t want to hurt you, Abby, but
you need to go.”
She ignored the
little clutch in her belly at his words. She would let him off the hook this
time and not get too angry. She wouldn’t lash out at him for pushing her away.
She understood the desire, the need. She had done enough of that when she lost
Max. But she wasn’t about to walk away just then.
“No.”
