The Deal

Perfect for you if...

You love the friends-to-lovers trope when it's genuinely earned and the chemistry feels like it might actually burn the pages.
You're after a romance with real banter and characters who feel like actual people, not cardboard cutouts.
You want a book that's steamy but still grounded in genuine emotional stakes between two people who actually matter to each other.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer slow burns that stay slow. This one ignites pretty fast once that kiss happens.
You're not interested in New Adult romance or tattoo shop settings. This leans into both.
You need elaborate external conflicts. This is mostly about two people figuring out their feelings.

About this book

A brooding tattoo artist and his best friend Skye agree to a fake relationship scheme. When Skye asks him to pose as her date at her cousin's wedding, they plan to deceive their families with fabricated stories and photographs. During the charade, their kiss reveals genuine chemistry between them. What began as a simple pretense becomes complicated as real attraction emerges. He finds himself wanting more than friendship, but faces the risk of jeopardizing their long-standing bond if he pursues deeper feelings. The first book in the Inked Love series.
