Patrick O'Sullivan has always been clear about who he is. Loyal, precise. Ruthless when necessary. In his world, there's no room for doubt, for weakness, and certainly not for someone like Jack Maddox.
Jack lives on the fringes. A tattoo artist, troubled, with too many scars beneath his skin. He enters Patrick's life like a sucker abrupt, unexpected, and impossible to ignore.
What starts as tension and distrust soon becomes something far more dangerous. Because the more they try to stay away, the stronger their need to return to each other.
And as he tries to live up to everything his name demands of him, Patrick discovers there are things control can't fix... and Jack Maddox is one of them.
