Publisher's Synopsis
Now that I'd bared my deep dark secrets to Josh, I had no interest in hanging out with him. Didn't matter that my fingers itched to slide through his messy hair or that I could perfectly imagine that velvet voice coaxing crazy amounts of pleasure from me. I didn't hook up with guys who knew more than my name and my tattoos.
Grace Lockwood doesn't do repeats. Guys get one shot with her, that's it. As a social worker, she knows it's not a healthy lifestyle, but she can't help the damage her addicted, abusive parents did to her. She's no good for anyone past a one-night-stand. Josh may have slipped past her defenses and gotten a second chance, but he doesn't get a third. Never mind that the sexy tattoo artist can make her laugh, even during sex, or that he shows up at Halloween dressed as the Dread Pirate Roberts to her Buttercup. Rules are rules for a reason.
But when Josh witnesses Grace's dad taking a swing at her, he can't stay away. And Grace can't resist the escape he offers. One hot night leads to another, which leads to time together out of bed. Slowly, Grace opens herself to the possibility of more. But when her mom shows up with cruel words and harsh demands, will Grace finally be ready to put the past behind her and take a chance at her fairy tale?
