Etched on My Heart

Summary

Everyone has secrets. Things about themselves they keep hidden out of shame or fear. Some secrets are so painful, so loathsome that leaving them in the past is the only way to move forward. But secrets always have a way of coming out.

Outwardly, I look like a guy who has it all. I live in one of the greatest cities in the world, run my own successful tattoo shop, and have an amazing group of friends. But even they don't know my deepest, darkest secret. No one does and I plan on keeping it that way. That is until Maksim Benenati walks into my life.

Maks was supposed to be a simple one and done, the only thing I've ever allowed myself. But things become more complicated when he shows up at my shop looking as tall, dark, and gorgeous as the night we met. Just like that night, he's sexy and charming, but he's also stubborn and extremely determined when there's something he wants. And what he wants, is me.

Maks begins wearing me down until what started out as a random hookup turns into so much more. After years of keeping everyone at arm's length, I find myself in danger of losing my heart. But will love be enough to hold us together when my secret is revealed?

Contains mature themes.
