Two Ink Minimum
by Michel Prince
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In
book one of Permanent Hangover, all Finn Gardner wanted was a breath of fresh
air when he stepped into the alley behind the Permanent Hangover Bar and Tattoo
Parlor. At first sight, he’d thought it was just another homeless person to
shoo away from the building. Instead, he found someone who needed help - his
help. Having been given a second chance himself, Finn believes in paying it
forward. The Hangover has taken more than one lost soul in over the years.
Bailey
Parson needed to get away. She left her life in Chicago behind and escaped to
St. Paul, but she never once thought far enough ahead to what her next step
would be when she arrived there. To her, what she was running from was much
more to worry about than some half-baked plan. After a month stuck on the
streets, a new need arose, as the temperature started to drop - survival.
Given
a chance by a stranger, Bailey works to find her way. Not only winning over
customers and the staff with her smart wit and empathy, she wins over the
standoffish tattoo artist. Keeping their relationship forward focused, Finn
hoped to avoid both of their baggage. However, when Bailey’s past threatens to
destroy everything they built together, Finn’s left with decisions to make.
Does
he give up the beautiful curvy woman, the only one whose touch calms him? How
much of his dark past would he need to unlock to save her? A past with the
potential to destroy what they have together. More importantly, can the lovers
turn the scars of the past into a design strong enough to see them through any
challenge? Or, will the permanent ink leave them with open wounds and no chance
of healing?

EXCERPT ONE:
“I
wasn’t doing anything,” she said as she slipped the penny in her pocket.
The
man turned to look behind him before taking a drink. In a tight black t-shirt,
worn-in jeans and work boots, he stood a good six-three at least. From her
crouched position, the tattooed man seemed massive. Although he was lean, his
body had cuts from sinewy muscles.
“Didn’t
think you were,” he replied in a deep baritone voice.
His
jaw was outlined by a slight bit of scruff that could be a decent beard with a month
or so to grow it out. Bailey swallowed hard and stuffed her hands in her
pockets, fingering the penny she’d tucked there.
“Needed
a break,” he replied. “I love the fall. When I come out in the summer I’m
slammed with the humidity, you know?”
“Warm
is good.”
“I
guess. I like the brisk cool, but it could be because it gets so damn hot in
there.”
The
mention of warmth made Bailey wonder if the cover charge would be worth a few
hours. She’d found the cheaper motels were further out of downtown, but the
shelter was in the center. By the time she walked her way to a place she could
afford, it would be morning and the Dorothy Day center would be open for a free
breakfast.
“What’s
that place like?”
“Loud
tonight,” he replied. “You’ve never been?”
“No,”
she shook her head a bit surprised he wasn’t catching on she was homeless.
“I’m
Finn.” He extended his hand like she was a human being. The simple contact
warmed her.
“Jane,”
she said not wanting to let go of his warm hand, but knew she had to. “You a
bartender?”
“Nah,
they don’t really get breaks. I’m with the tattoo parlor.”
She
finally paid attention to the sign on the back of the door that said Permanent
Hangover. A whiskey bottle with two tattoo guns on either side reminded her of
angel wings.
“What
is this place?”
“Bar,
club, whatever you want to call it with a few chairs for tattooing.” He cleared
his throat. “So, Jane, I don’t suppose the last name is Doe?”
“Yes,
are you psychic? Only I spell it the French way.”
“D-O-U-G-H,”
he said, and she let out a laugh. “Jayne with a Y?”
