Five dishonored soldiers.
Former Special Forces.
One last mission.
These are the men of Hard Ink.

The gorgeous waitress is hiding secrets she doesn t want him to uncover. Too bad. He s exactly the man she needs to protect her sister, her life, and her heart. All he has to do is convince her that when something feels this good, you hold on as hard as you can and never let go. Less
