My sister is all I’ve got.
Kelly basically raised me after we lost our parents in a plane crash. When a douche made a joke about it, when life went bad, and when I needed her…
She was there. Always.
But I can’t stop crushing on her ex-boyfriend.
Jamie Jensen is six and a half feet of pure muscle, his arms tattooed and strong, his hair silver…his aura brooding. Aura sounds so cheesy, but he has one.
A major aura.
He’s forty-one years of intensity, watching me at a party one evening like he can’t decide if he hates me or wants to kiss me.
But it doesn’t happen there.
I decide to get a tattoo, live on the wild side, but I don’t tell Kelly. I book a session with her ex.
Nothing will happen, I tell myself.
I’m a twenty-year-old college student. Maybe one day I’ll be a teacher. I’m curvy and, honestly, not great with guys. Oh, and add virgin to that list, which puts my chances in the gutter.
But when Jamie kisses me, it feels right.
I can't fight the urges when things get even steamier in the tattoo studio.
We do possessive, hungry things together, both of us caught up in the moment.
Then everything unravels.
A brick comes through the window.
Kelly tells me a secret about Jamie.
And suddenly, I’m holding a gun, wondering if I’m going to get out of here alive.
Nothing will ever be the same, not now that my sister’s ex has inked me.
