Mark Me

He makes his living leaving permanent marks. But the woman who walks into his tattoo shop is about to leave one on him.

Mica knows a thing or two about scars.

Five years after walking away from a marriage that left its own damage, hes built a life around ink, loyalty, and keeping his heart firmly out of reach.

Then theres Nyah.

Trapped in a relationship with a controlling, abusive man, Nyah has spent years learning how to stay quiet, keep the peace, and make herself smaller. Shes forgotten what it feels like to have a choice.

Until a tattoo artist refuses to make one for her.

Mica sees what others dont. The fear behind her silence. The way she flinches. The woman desperately trying to remember who she was before someone convinced her she was nothing.

He doesnt want to save her.

He wants her to realise shes worth saving herself.

But walking away from a man who refuses to let go is dangerous. And falling for a tattooed, fiercely protective man with scars of his own might be the biggest risk of all.

Hes spent years making art out of scars. Shes about to teach him that some marks are worth keeping.
