A savior lies in the heart of every good man, but sometimes only love can awaken the man inside the savior.
The worldâs had it out for San Francisco firefighter Mace Crawford from the moment he was born. Rescued from a horrific home life and dragged through an uncaring foster system, heâs dedicated his life to saving people, including the men he calls his brothers. As second-in-command of their knitted-together clan, Mace guides his younger siblings, helps out at 415 Ink, the family tattoo shop, and most of all, makes sure the brothers donât discover his darkest secrets.
Itâs a lonely life with one big problemâheâs sworn off love, and Rob Claussen, one of 415 Inkâs tattoo artists, has gotten under his skin in the worst way possible.
Maceâs world is too tight, too controlled to let Rob into his life, much less his heart, but the brash Filipino inker is there every time Mace turns around. He canât let Rob in without shaking the foundations of the life heâs built, but when an evil from his past resurfaces, Mace is forced to choose between protecting his lies and saving the man heâs too scared to love.
