The Ink Romance Series

Solitude. That is all Leslie wants out of life with the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs, and her dog, Flamingo. Okay, and her best friends David and Molli. Oh, and the animal shelter but everything else doesn’t matter. That is all she needed to be happy in life. She doesn’t need a sexually-empowered man that makes her body frenzied and mind cloud with lust, no matter how bad she craves it. Until Kane Bridgeshaw comes into the picture, tattooed with raw sex-appeal, money, and he isn’t afraid to use it, if it means getting everything he wants-including Leslie.

Leslie Benton is an independent woman who doesn’t need a man! At least, that is what she thought for years, until a black-haired, six-foot-five, annoying, self-centered, and sexy man buys the shop she has been saving up for to expand her animal shelter. It makes everything change. Refusing to give in to her body’s lust, she goes on a date with the local veterinarian Chase Jackson. But Kane interferes, yet again. When push comes to shove and threats loom over their heads, can Leslie and Kane beat the odds?

Kane's exterior is tough like armor, but the one person that penetrates it most is Leslie Benton. The amount of effort he puts in to keep her away doesn't matter - she quickly has chipped away at his walls. When Leslie's stalker reveals his true nature and Kane's enemy comes to seek revenge, can Kane fully give himself over to Leslie instead of the broken man he has become?

Leslie is tired of Kane leaving her alone in bed with nothing but a memory to keep her company. She decides there are other fish in the sea, and she deserves a man who won’t make her feel dirty and used. When she meets another man, a man that actually wants her, Kane interferes with his caveman act. It’s obvious Kane is jealous, but when an enemy sets his sight on Leslie and Leslie gets hurt, Kane realizes there will never be another man for Leslie except him. When he tells her he wants her for good, she does something he doesn’t expect - she pushes him away.

Leslie was slowly healing from her fear that Chase was lurking in the shadows. Nightmares and panic attacks would have eaten her alive if it wasn’t for Kane. He was being the friend she needed, but not the lover she wanted. She wanted Kane to replace the tainted touches Chase left behind, but Kane wanted to earn her trust by being what she needed not what she wanted. When a threat from his brother’s past makes itself known, can Kane live up to his promise to protect? Or will his effort to earn Leslie’s and Evan’s trust break?

Black roses for Kane and Leslie’s beginning. Red for the blood that will be spilled. Or is red the color of the end? Leslie’s life was on the line, and she had no idea why. She knew one thing: She was tired of all the pain and agony life had brought her recently and was ready for a change.
