Sometimes the things we shouldnโt want become exactly what we need . . .
Waitressing at a seedy strip club isnโt ideal, but it pays Sarah Adamsonโs tuition. Her goal is to finish her masterโs program and get a job that doesnโt involve tight skirts and groping hands. She doesnโt need distractions. Especially not the one that comes in the form of a hot-as-sin tattoo artist who works across the street from her apartment.
Kicked out at sixteen, and a high school dropout, Chris Zelter is familiar with wanting things he canโt have. His fractured life has never been easy. As the product of someone elseโs bad decisions, he knows exactly what happens when the wrong person controls your marionette strings. Now an accomplished tattoo artist in a renowned studio in Chicago, Chris has it together.
Mostly.
Apart from his infatuation with Sarah. Sheโs way out of his league, and Chris knows it.
But heโs willing to be her bad decision. At least for now.
