Patrick "Trick" Kelly has one golden rule. Never mix business with pleasure. That rule gets thrown out the window when Wren Taylor walks through the door of his tattoo shop and into his heart. She's sassy, smokin' hot, and his complete opposite. Wren has plans, though. She wants to be a social worker, and she needs to concentrate on getting her degree. Not the hot-as-hell tattooed bad boy who owns Sin & Ink tattoo shop. Some things just won't be denied, however.

Deke Hart is a complete and total jerk, so why am I going to a family function as his fake girlfriend? That’s easy to answer. I owe him after he helped me out of a jam. There’s only one problem. He’s easy on the eyes. When Deke isn’t talking, he’s doing amazing things to my body. I have a past. Don’t we all? Am I letting it rule my future? Sure. Do I have a chip on my back because of it? Yes. Am I using Kelsey in more ways than one? Absolutely. What I’m unprepared for is that I’m the one going after Kelsey, when all it seems she’s wanting is to keep things platonic.

I know what I want and what I want is Tallulah Jennings anyway I can have her. Tully wants to keep our relationship a secret. She thinks my name attached to hers will make the people in our small-town talk. And not in a good way. I'm biding my time. One day soon she'll have my last name, be the mother of my children, and they'll be no more hiding the way we feel for one another.

I'm a man who knows what he wants and what I want is Birdie. It hurt like hell to watch her leave our small town to set off and chase her college dreams. I let her go once, I'm not letting it happen again. Now she's home for good, and I'll stop at nothing to keep her with me, always. Even if that means tying her to me in every way possible.

A wife. Happily ever after. That was never in the cards for me, not with a past like mine. Everything changed when Millie entered my life. The no labels I demanded on our heated encounters became meaningless when she threatened to walk away. There's only one thing a man can do when he realizes the woman he loves is going to leave forever.

I always get what I want and what I want is Amelie. One month after leaving, my only thoughts were of the woman I left to protect. Thoughts of her consumed me night and day, pushing me to work harder and faster in order to have her back in my arms. The need to protect her from my own blood, a father who would ruin me and anyone that means anything to me in order to further his political career.
