NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan begins her binge-worthy Montgomery Ink series with a bachelor ready to finally settle down and the one woman he shouldnโt have.
One look at the woman who comes in for new ink and Austin Montgomery knows sheโs the one for him. The problem: she canโt stand him. Now heโll have to be his most charming and brooding if he has any chance of changing her mind...and claiming her heart.
Sierra Elder has reasons for keeping away and secrets close to her heart. An accident took her first love and scarred more than her soul in the process. Now the inked man with a wicked grin is starting to melt the ice sheโs built to keep her safe, but the danger isnโt only from what she feels.
Some secrets were never meant to be kept and when mistakes from both of their pasts come knocking, theyโll have to trust each other, even if it could hurt them both in the process.
