But when she meets Maddox, she sees that under his hard biker's body is the sensitive soul of an artist. What starts out as a sizzling one-night stand soon becomes so much more.

Bee wants Maddox to join her tattoo business, but letting him into her life means revealing all her most intimate secrets. And as the past begins to intertwine with her present, Bee fears their love may not be as permanent as their ink . . . 

***************

Bee is a tough, take no shit blonde haired tattooed beauty- who has severe issues. Maddox is a hot brooding guy who also has some severe issues. During the first part of the book I wasn't sure if I wanted to even finish it I was so put out by Bee's attitude that it was really annoying me. I stuck with it and things got better I was afraid it was always going to be Maddox that had to make the first move and not only open up but chase after her in a sense. These two were made for each other and once they let their walls down it was almost a relief for both of them. Some hot juicy intense sex scenes-nothing raunchy or graphic. Good ending.

If you have read "Charade" &/or "Facade" you will get to read about those couples in this book as well.
