Some mistakes you can erase. Others get under your skin.
Luke
I’m used to coloring inside the lines, on cars, anyway. After years of painting flawless hoods and fenders, I’m ready to chase my real dream: tattoo artistry.
One thing I won’t do? Put my name on a disasterpiece someone else started. So when a walk-in asked me to finish their wobbly stick-figure outline, I said no. Suddenly the shop is drowning in one-star reviews.
Enter Meredith. Professional problem solver and, inconveniently, the woman I never forgot after one mind blowing night. She’s been hired to rescue the shop’s reputation, but between damage control, furious clients, and a hot tempered owner, she’s got her work cut out for her.
Meredith
I got fired.
Fairly.
Turns out being the personal assistant to two rich heiresses mid-rebellion is hazardous to your career.
Now I''m starting over in small-town Canada. A far cry from the neon chaos of Vegas.
Canada has two things Vegas didn’t: a challenging new job saving a struggling tattoo shop, and Luke. The man I once slept with, thought about way too much, and now have to work with while pretending not to.
Were working side by side in a haze of ink, banter, and memories neither of us can shake. But in a business where one wrong move leaves a permanent mark, we have to decide if risking our hearts is worth it…or if this is one design better left unfinished.
Pretty in Paint is a short, opposites attract novella, featuring two down on their luck characters struggling to get ahead. It has no cheating and a happily ever after.From broke beginnings to business dreams, the real hustle begins after hours. Whether it’s garage startups or late-night gigs, these blue-collar heroes and heroines are chasing goals bigger than the next bill. When love throws them a curveball, they learn that building a future means risking their hearts.
Side Hustle is a multi-author series of short, steamy instalove stories with guaranteed happily-ever-afters. Each one delivers open-door heat, real-world grit, and chemistry that burns hotter after midnight.
Genre: General Fiction
