Delicate Ink
A Montgomery Ink Novel, Book 1
by Carrie Ann Ryan
Blurb:
On
the wrong side of thirty, Austin Montgomery is ready to settle down.
Unfortunately, his inked sleeves and scruffy beard isn’t the suave business
appearance some women crave. Only finding a woman who can deal with his job, as
a tattoo artist and owner of Montgomery Ink, his seven meddling siblings, and
his own gruff attitude won’t be easy.
Finding
a man is the last thing on Sierra Elder’s mind. A recent transplant to Denver,
her focus is on opening her own boutique. Wanting to cover up scars that run
deeper than her flesh, she finds in Austin a man that truly gets to her—in more
ways than one.
Although
wary, they embark on a slow, tempestuous burn of a relationship. When blasts
from both their pasts intrude on their present, however, it will take more than
a promise of what could be to keep them together.
EXCERPT:
She
turned so her side faced Austin and she wouldn’t have to meet his gaze. As soon
as he put his hands on her, she jumped.
“Steady,
Legs, I’m not going to bite,” he teased. “Well, not unless you ask me to.”
Despite
herself, she snorted. “Stop calling me Legs.” It was insulting…and made her
want to dissolve in a puddle at his feet. Damn the man.
“I
like the look of your legs, so I’m going to keep doing it. Now, how big are we
thinking?”
Big.
Thick and long.
Wait,
that wasn’t what he was asking.
Austin
gave a deep chuckle. “I can see from your face where your mind went, and yes,
big is a good word for it. However, I was talking about your tattoo.”
Sierra
refused to meet his gaze but lifted her chin. “Confident of yourself. And I’m
thinking the entire ribcage, side of my stomach, and down over my hips.” Her
scar covered most of that, but since she would have to have ink around it, she
wanted something to remember. Something that was worth the pain and memories.
“That’s
big, but I think with your curves there, it’s going to look great. So hold
tight and let me trace you.”
The
pencil traced over her side, and his hand brushed the underside of her breast.
They both gasped, but neither commented. They needed to stay professional for
both their sakes. His calloused fingers pressed through her shirt and she held
back a sigh. She had recovered most of the feeling in her side, and his hands
were so large, so…male…that she new she’d never forget his touch.

New York Times and USA Today
Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really.
No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in
chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter,
but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that
she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another
author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The
Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.
Carrie Ann is a bestselling
author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and
on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream
anytime soon.
