Do you dare? You might never see my name in lights or flashed across the stage, but my roots were southern, my eyes bright, and my sass a mix of feisty-sweet. I was ready to take on anything life had to throw at me... until it did. I used to be a romantic, hopeful someday I'd fall in love with Mr. Right. After a slew of dating disasters, though, I'd convinced myself I was cursed. Now, almost twenty-six, I found myself working at a tattoo shop, wondering if it was time to try again. If only the men in my life would get a clue. Slade-the bossnemy-who liked to push my buttons. Simon-the one who got away-who wasn't even an option. Thane-the perfect guy-who swooped in to rescue me. It began so innocently, our inked confessions, a modern-day love story unfolding between us, but when the line between truth and lies blurred, how was I to know what was real? It was hidden somewhere between all the riddled deceit. The question was, was I even brave enough to unravel it? I'm Lennox James, and this is my story. *This is a why choose novel, meaning the main female character doesn't have to choose between love interests.
