The Strongest Steel: A Second Circle Tattoos Novel

[DEBUT] Harper Connelly has been living off the grid ever since her ex brutally beat her and scarred her for life. Though her ex is in prison, Harper still feels vulnerable and has moved across the country, changed her career, and pretty much keeps to herself. Harper's scars are a constant reminder of the act of violence she survived, and she has been considering having them covered by a tattoo after reading an article about a tattoo artist who specializes in camouflaging scars. Trent Andrews is living the dream. After years of apprenticing in his mentor's studio, he and best friend Cujo have opened their own shop, Second Circle Tattoos. Trent's work is well known, and the shop is always busy. Late one night, Harper gathers her courage and seeks out Trent as he is closing the studio. Trent is struck by the depth of Harper's resolve just in approaching him. He knows he must move slowly and carefully lest she disappear, and for some reason Trent knows that more than anything he wants Harper to stick around.
