She's soft, scared, and so sure she's unlovable. He's about to prove her wrong.

Ava Harrington runs a cozy little bookstore café, keeps her head down, and avoids anything -- or anyone -- that might hurt her again. But the tattoo artist next door makes that almost impossible.

Elijah Blacksmith is older, rough around the edges, and far too observant. And he's been quietly waiting for her to be ready...

for him.

Their friendship is laced with heat, their stolen moments toe the line, and when that line finally breaks -- he's more than willing to take control.

She thinks she's too much.

He knows she's everything.
