The Sweetest Gift

This is a standalone story which happens to include characters you may know and love in this Preload/Second Circle Tattoos crossover novella that takes place between The Darkest Link and Jordan Reclaimed.

Holly is crushed when a public vote leaves her runner-up on the tattooing reality TV show, Inked. The prize, her own tattoo studio, was the only way to get her career, and reputation, back on track. But without it, she’s stuck with a freezing apartment and no prospects. Until Dred Zander, lead singer of rock band, Preload, offers her a way out.

Ryan will do anything to head up the New York office of his talent agency, even take on a band whose career is on the line. Turn Preload around, and the job is as good as his. It’s an easy win for a man who likes to get things done… alone. There’s only one problem, a sexy as hell tattoo artist with a knack for social media.

When Preload offer Holly a temporary position helping with their social media campaign, it’s a distraction Ryan doesn’t expect. But then he doesn’t expect to lose his heart either.
