All things, when placed under pressure, eventually break or leave a mark.
Tattoo artist Brody "Cujo" Matthews knows how to keep things simple. In life and in love. Abandoned as a child by a mother who refused to stick around to raise three boys she didn't want, he's intent on staying clear of complicated women. The only things complicated in Cujoโs life are the killer tattoos he designs and inks. That all changes when heโs asked to help organize his best friend Trent's engagement party, which means working with Trent's fiancรฉe's best friend, Drea, the definition of high maintenance and sizzling curves. And the one woman he doesnโt want to walk away from.
Andrea "Drea" Caron is broke and tired. After years of caring for her ailing mom, she's at the end of her rope trying to manage the piling medical bills, two jobs, and a life placed on hold. She certainly doesnโt need the added frustration of a sexy playboy tattoo artist messing up her best friendโs engagement party or her carefully balanced life. But when Drea witnesses the abduction of a woman from the cafรฉ she works at, she canโt help but turn to Cujo whoโs determined to prove to Drea that heโs someone she can count on foreverโฆbut as they attempt to bring the truth to light, someone is working to bring that forever to a sudden, deadly halt.
