His Wild Storm

KNOX
Life is good. I love my work, and I love my family; all because of Vibrant Ink. Art gave me a purpose when nothing else made sense. When I was growing up, drawing quieted my mind and made me feel seen when others wrote me off. They thought all I was a big, dumb, clown; but they should see me now.
Not many people care about the storms I’ve weathered, and I can feel another one on the horizon. I didn’t know the first drops of rain would come in the form of a little boy with guilt and anger waging war inside of him. Art gives him an outlet, just like it did for me.
Helping Wilde find art leads me to his mother, Haven. And the maelstrom descends, battering me from all sides, but I know I can stand up to it. I won’t bow down under dark clouds or cower from the lightning and thunder. Because I know I’m stronger than the storm following them. They’re mine, and I’ll be there when the sun breaks through the clouds.

HAVEN
I’m in the eye of the storm and soaking up the momentary calm. It won’t last, but I can use this time to heal myself and my son while making plans for what happens when the lightning crashes again. I’ve been running for so long it feels unnatural to stand still and soak up the safety I’ve found. Maybe I’ve run far enough, but I doubt it.
When the shelter offers art classes for the kids, I figure it can’t hurt anything. Maybe it’ll help Wilde process the things he doesn’t understand and the trauma we endured. What I wasn’t expecting was Knox, a tattoo artist with an easy smile and a sense of humor that threatens to tear down my walls, to come into our lives and use paint and charcoal like stitches. If only he could be our shelter from the storm.
But I know better. When the past catches up to us—and it will—destruction will follow. Knox deserves more than that, and more than the darkness my secrets will force him to endure. Wilde and I have weathered the storm before, and we’ll get through. I can only hope our hearts will be intact by the end of it all to allow us to dance in the sunshine.

Each book in the Vibrant Ink series can be read as a standalone and is related to my Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security).
