[Get Ink'd 04] • Hard Ink (Get Ink'd Book 4)

I don’t have the best history with older men.

When Mateo saw my last relationship implode, he was there to help.

He saved me.

Hopefully self-defense lessons will keep me from getting hit again.

I can’t ask for more of my friend.

Even dreaming of keeping him is wrong.

But when my ex makes things difficult, Mateo steps up again.

I don’t want a protector, but maybe it’s time to accept a little help.

For the first time in my life, I want something real.

What will it cost to keep the man I’m falling for?

Bryan needs a protector.

Those rich old guys that chase after him aren’t the answer.

All I want is to keep him safe.

I want to watch him grow into the strong man I know he can be.

Falling for him wasn’t the plan.

But now that I’ve had a taste, I can’t let him go.

Sparks and ink fly in Hard Ink, a 60,000-word standalone m/m workplace romance between tattoo artist and teacher, Mateo, and his student and co-worker, Bryan.
