NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio.
Emerson
It’s not like I planned to fall for my older brother’s best friend.
It just happened. With a perfect body covered in tattoos, and a dirty mouth, Roman is the kind of guy women notice—and believe me, I noticed. Even when I tried not to.
When he finally gives in to temptation, there’s no going back. At least for me. Too bad Roman doesn’t see it that way.
He thinks he needs to protect me and my relationship with my brother, but I don’t need him to fight my battles. I just need him.
Roman
My name whispered from Emerson’s perfect pink lips is all it takes for me to betray my best friend.
Before that night, I kept the green-eyed beauty at arm’s length. Watched her from afar and told myself that the chemistry between us was one-sided.
I pretended that I didn’t want her more than my next breath. Which is what’s on the line if her brother ever finds out we’ve been sneaking around behind his back.
But I can’t stay away. Especially after knowing what it’s like to have her and lose her.
Now, I’m given a second chance, and I have every intention of making her mine—consequences be damned.
Emerson has had feelings for Roman for a while but didn’t think he would ever see her as more than his best friend’s younger sister. While spending her college break with her brother the sparks fly between her and Roman even though they both know it will end when she returns to college but that is proving to be easier said than done.
Roman and his four best friends have always been a part of each others lives and they are also partners in a tattoo shop. He doesn’t want to jeopardize his relationship with Emerson’s brother so despite his feelings for her he will not pursue he however he is beginning to realize that this is a battle he will never win.
Emerson and Roman keep us on edge as they can’t resist their feelings for each other, and you know it is only a matter of time before all is revealed as they take us on a heartfelt and romantic ride filled with all the feels.

He’s the last single Dare sibling standing. She’s his lost love who disappeared. Now she’s back, bringing secrets and danger.
Hadley Stevens is on the run with her younger sister—again—but this time, she’s in control. Zach Dare might hate her, but she knows he’d never turn away someone in need. He’s the only man she trusts. The man she’s never gotten over. Even if she left him without a word.
Zach never expected the girl he once loved to walk into his bar. The last time he saw her, he’d dropped her off after school and promised to pick her up for prom. Except she disappeared.
Now, she’s back with a new name, but the same doe eyes and pouty lips, and she’s asking for the help he would have gladly given her all those years ago.
Zach agrees to protect them, but he refuses to fall for Hadley again. But late nights working side by side give them a tempting glimpse at the life they could have had…and all the reasons he loved her come flooding back.
For the second time her father’s actions have put her and her sister Dani in danger and now they must flee the life they have built. Uncertain of where to turn a magazine gives her the answer as there is an article on her first and only love Zach. The only problem is that she had to leave him years earlier with no explanation and has been unable to reach out to him since and she hopes that he will be willing to help.
Zach was devastated when Hadley disappeared from his life on the night of the prom that they were going to attend together. She owned his teenage heart but when he finds out why she left his only thought is keeping her and Dani safe and convincing her to say.
A love that endured the time and distance between them, hot chemistry, family and a little suspense all add up to an entertaining story you won’t want to put down.

A year ago, I let my heart overrule my head and I made an error in judgment that cost me everything I’d ever worked for.
Then I screwed up again trying to save my career and lost the last ally I had left.
Just as I’m slowly rebuilding the life I spectacularly destroyed, I’m sent back to the scene of the crime to go undercover in the hottest new club on what seems like an open-shut skimming case. But as always, nothing is as it seems. Especially when I cross paths with the very last person who wants to see me–Marlee Manning.
The biggest distraction and risk to my cover—and hers—just happens to be the girl who enamored me as a kid, who enchanted me as an adult, and who used to be the one constant presence in my life, loving me unconditionally until I broke her heart, her trust, and everything else.
Now we need each other to help bring down a man who could be the most dangerous man on the Strip. The problem is, we don’t know what we’re up against, and the deeper I get into the life, the more I realize that the stakes are higher than ever. Not just for me, but for her, and any future we might have.
Because if I’m not careful, this case, this chance, this journey toward redemption, could very well end up being my last.

I’ve always said that my life is about surviving, but I didn’t realize how true that was until the devil sent me soaring off a bridge with the love of my life and lodged a bullet through my thigh.
It’s not my time to die.
He should know by now that I’m a survivor and it’s going to take a little more than a submerged Dodge RAM in the bottom of the river and a bullet to take me out.
I want my revenge and I want it now.
Lucien Valentine will not get away with this.
Someone should have warned me that when you’re playing with fire, you’re bound to get burned. This game just upped the stakes and this time, I might not have what it takes to make it out the other end.
