When ambitious journalist Zenni Greer snuck into a House of Payne charity event, she’d hoped to discover what made the famous tattoo studio tick. What she found was a furious tattooist who didn’t appreciate her snooping around in his booth. When he threw her out the door—literally—she vowed to never cross paths with that terrifying man again.
First Impressions…
Talon Levesque, former military police officer and tattooist at House of Payne, isn’t thrilled to be landed with the task of babysitting Zenni when her paper assigns her to profile him and his fellow tattooists. But his first impression of the nosy reporter changes when he sees Zenni in action. Her intellect, her compassion, her sharp wit, her pixie-like perfection—all that and more make for one sexy riddle he’s only too happy to solve.
Lasting Consequences
No way can Zenni write a profile on Talon. He’s too dominating, too arrogant, too pushy… and too damn hot to be legal. She can’t resist his dirty-talking seduction, but she also can’t resist his mysterious past the military has labeled “classified.” When clues to a secret rescue mission that Talon was involved in fall into her lap, she has to decide what’s more important—her career, or Talon?

Our Thoughts
Pixie, you kick but take no prisoners whirlwind of chaos
I absolutely adore you!
Talon you are a giant marshmallow filled teddy bear who I seriously would not want to anger
Pixie seems to find herself in a bit of a predicament. Trust me that is putting it very mildly. She wants to move out of the pits and into the big leagues but to do that she needs a real story and her nose is telling her there is a story behind the doors of the House of Payne
Talon has served his time and does not give leeway to liars and thieves especially ones who crash charity events
Cute pixie or not - she is out of here
My heart kind of cracked for Talon when he realized how Pixie saw him. I don't think it ever mattered before or he just never realized. And Pixie with her independent streak - a slightly angsty truth - had a hard time seeing past her barriers
Their connection is almost instant even if it takes them a bit to acknowledge it
The chemistry between these two was tangible - they made me laugh, and at times groan in frustration
The two of them are perfect for each other
When I came to the final page I took a moment to digest that this was the end for the family of House of Payne
I am sad to say goodbye - I know that I will see some of them again
This series - hands down - is one of the best series I have ever read
Great storylines -
Characters that stay with you long after you close their books-
Friendship, Family, Angst, Laughter, Suspense, Romance
Everything a solid saga should offer
A competitive figure skater from the age of eight, Stacy Gail began writing stories in between events to pass the time. By fourteen, she told her parents she was either going to be a figure skating coach who was also a published romance author, or a romance author who was also a figure skating pro. Now, with a day job of playing on the ice with her students, and writing everything from steampunk to cyberpunk, contemporary to paranormal at night, both dreams have come true.
