Tragic Ink by Heather Hildenbrand

All’s fair in war and unrequited love.

Tattoo artist Gwen Facharro prefers working alone in her Havenwood Falls shop. Coworkers want to be friends, and friends ask too many questions. The last thing Gwen wants to do is answer them. Especially when her inked images tend to take on lives of their own—and not everyone uses the fae magic for good. If the Court finds out, she’ll be tossed in jail. Or worse, banished from town forever.

Although they grew up together, Seelie warrior Rhys Graywalk has been very careful to keep Gwen at a distance. Between the secrets he keeps for her and the ones he keeps from her, his plate is already full. Romance isn’t on the menu. It can’t be. He has his orders.

But when the people around her start turning up dead, Gwen’s fears become reality. Someone has discovered her secret. Someone who wants Gwen’s talents for themselves. And they won’t stop until they get it.

To separate the truth from the lies she’s been told about her fae heritage, Gwen is forced to work with the only friend she’s ever really known. She’s just not sure she can handle rejection a second time.
