Hard Ink Synopsis: Hard As It Gets is the first Hard Ink novel by Laura Kaye. Something real bad just walked into Nicholas Rixey’s tattoo parlor. Becca Merritt is warm, sexy and wholesome, which is pure temptation to a very jaded Nick. He’s left his military life behind in order to help run Hard Ink Tattoo, but Becca is his ex-commander’s daughter. Loyalty won’t let him turn her away. Lust has plenty to do with it too. Becca needs Nick, as her brother may have been kidnapped. She just wasn’t expecting to want him so much. As their investigation turns into all-out war with an organized crime ring, only Nick can keep her safe. And only Becca can heal the deep, hidden scars. Desire is the easy part. Love is as hard as it gets. Lucky thing Nick loves a challenge!
