Marked by the Grouchy Grizzly: A Heat & Ink Standalone

I finally went to get a tattoo. It was supposed to be a beautiful white lily, but the big, grumpy tattoo artist had something else in mind. Only, he didn't freaking tell me before he got started. When it's time for the big reveal, I don't see a pretty flower; I see his name tattooed across the back of my shoulder. He says I'm his. That I'm his mate. My friends tell him to go to hell. That we're suing. But this grouchy beast isn't shaken. He doesn't care one bit and keeps saying that he's marked me, so I belong to him now. The worst thing is, I think he may be right. This can't be happening. Fate can't be so cruel as to bind me to a jerk like him. I can't be mated to this big, grumpy bear shifter, can I? Can I? Welcome to Heat & Ink, where hot possessive tattoo artists leave their mark in more ways than one. The Heat & Ink series mixes contemporary, sci-fi romance, and paranormal in three standalone stories by best-selling steamy authors, Hope Ford, Michele Mills, and Olivia T. Turner.
