A savior lies in the heart of every good man, but sometimes only love can awaken the man inside the savior.
The worldโs had it out for San Francisco firefighter Mace Crawford from the moment he was born. Rescued from a horrific home life and dragged through an uncaring foster system, heโs dedicated his life to saving people, including the men he calls his brothers. As second-in-command of their knitted-together clan, Mace guides his younger siblings, helps out at 415 Ink, the family tattoo shop, and most of all, makes sure the brothers donโt discover his darkest secrets.
Itโs a lonely life with one big problemโheโs sworn off love, and Rob Claussen, one of 415 Inkโs tattoo artists, has gotten under his skin in the worst way possible.
Maceโs world is too tight, too controlled to let Rob into his life, much less his heart, but the brash Filipino inker is there every time Mace turns around. He canโt let Rob in without shaking the foundations of the life heโs built, but when an evil from his past resurfaces, Mace is forced to choose between protecting his lies and saving the man heโs too scared to love.
