And that's something I know a lot about.

Lachlan Daly makes me feel everything I swore I never would. One glance into those whiskey-colored eyes and I'm lost. His on-again, off-again desire for me has my head spinning and my pulse pounding.

The minute I think I have it figured out, I find myself making decisions that we both will regret.

Ink and whiskey have a way of making the truth come out.
