In search of salvation, four convicts opened a tattoo shop.
They didn’t expect to find true love along the way.
This is King’s story.

KING:
Five years in prison taught me one thing,
I’m never going back.
I fronted the money, and the boys set up the tattoo shop while I served my time.
It’s perfect, just the environment I need to stay out of trouble.
Then I see Ronnie, and everything changes.
Her dark, stormy eyes. Her perfect curves. The way she looks at me when she thinks I’m distracted.
Can’t she see? She’s the distraction.
All I want is to protect her, to keep her safe, but she won’t let me in.

RONNIE:
My bad boy boss is home from the slammer.
Maybe he doesn’t like the way I’ve set up the reception area.
Maybe he doesn’t think a woman can manage a tattoo shop as well as a man.
Or maybe, his lingering stares mean something far more worrisome.
I took the job at Redemption Ink to avoid dating bad boys.
They’re overbearing and smothering, and I don’t like anyone telling me what to do.
Bad boys are bad for a reason. They’re nothing but trouble.
But I can’t deny there’s something about King that lowers my defenses.
