Spotlight & Giveaway: Delicate Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan
Delicate
Ink
A
Montgomery Ink Novel, Book 1
Blurb
On
the wrong side of thirty, Austin Montgomery is ready to settle down.
Unfortunately, his inked sleeves and scruffy beard isn’t the suave
business appearance some women crave. Only finding a woman who can
deal with his job, as a tattoo artist and owner of Montgomery Ink,
his seven meddling siblings, and his own gruff attitude won’t be
easy.
Finding
a man is the last thing on Sierra Elder’s mind. A recent transplant
to Denver, her focus is on opening her own boutique. Wanting to cover
up scars that run deeper than her flesh, she finds in Austin a man
that truly gets to her—in more ways than one.
Although
wary, they embark on a slow, tempestuous burn of a relationship. When
blasts from both their pasts intrude on their present, however, it
will take more than a promise of what could be to keep them together.

“Sounds
good to me.” He followed her into her small apartment, not
surprised that she had nice furniture in a shitty place. From the way
she walked and talked, he figured that she hadn’t always lived in a
place like this.
They
drank in silence for a bit before she finally let out a breath.
“I
just don’t want you to get the wrong idea about me asking you
here.”
Austin
tilted his head. “Wrong idea? I asked you on a date, and I came
here to help on my own accord. Not sure what wrong idea I can get.”
“I
don’t know what you’re looking for here. Relationship-wise. I
mean, I don’t even know what I want.”
He
set down his glass on the high counter then brushed his lips over
hers. “One day at a time, Sierra. One day at a time.”
“What does that even mean?”
She scowled then set down her own glass. “One day at a time? For
what? What are we even doing, Austin? I thought we didn’t even like
each other when we first met. Now you’re asking me to ride with
you, kissing me, and fixing my window.”
Austin
frowned then took her chin in a hard grip. Her eyes widened a bit
before her pupils dilated. Ah, that’s what he wanted to see. So she
liked him in control, did she? He’d have to be clear about what he
was and what he liked before they went further, but if his instincts
were right, she’d be perfect for him.
Fuck.
He couldn’t wait.

Bio (with links)
New
York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never
thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and
science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she
read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it
wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens
that she realized that there was something out there just for her.
When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good
and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.
Carrie
Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and
has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that
she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.
