Inked Souls (The Shaw Effect Duet)
by Lucia Grace
Life has been lonely for Kennedy James. A product of foster care, she's never had a family, she's never known love, she's never been wanted. So, as she gets older and her looks get her the attention she's always craved, she takes it.
No matter the consequences.
After another failed attempt at finding what she's always longed for--to be loved--she leaves the only town she's ever known and swears off men so she can find herself.
But what happens when a rough and crass tattoo artist is exactly what she needs?
A past riddled with loss and neglect haunts Rhett Shaw, his younger sister his only remaining family. Because of his past he only allows meaningless one night stands to warm his bed, never forming a connection, barely learning their names. He prefers it that way so he doesn't open himself up to more hurt.
Something he's felt enough in his lifetime.
He's content in his life. He has his sister, his tattoo shop, and enough women to keep him satisfied.
But what happens when an angel on earth is delivered to heal his inked soul?

Kennedy had grown up in foster homes passed around her whole life never knowing the love of a family that cared about her. When she went thru puberty at the age of thirteen she became very curvy and beautiful. The only problem was men only wanted her for sex, not love and she went through a lot and became very untrusting.
Rhett and his sister Saylor lost their parents when Rhett was twelve and Saylor was ten. They were taken in by an Aunt who didn't love them and just wanted their insurance money left from their parents. Rhett got a job at thirteen working at the bar In Ruins to take care of himself and Saylor. At Eighteen he and Saylor moved into an apartment next to Gus who owned the bar and looked out for them. Eventually Rhett saved enough money to buy the Tattoo Parlor across the street and became best friends with his partner Nash.
Kennedy decides to leave her past behind and ends up in Sunvale. She walks into In Ruins to inquire about a job and ends up working there and living upstairs with Saylor since Rhett had bought a condo and moved out.
This story is about finding yourself and learning to trust and also finally finding the family you always wanted. A happily ever after of two wounded souls who complete each other. It's not always smooth sailing when Kennedy's past comes back to haunt. I can't wait for the next story in this series!5 Stars
