About MASQUERADE
After his father is put in prison for murder leaving his mother suicidal, Maddox Cross has always put his sister, Laney, first. Now living in Brenton, Virginia, Maddox has no idea what to do with his life, especially since Laney no longer needs him. One thing he does know is for the first time since losing football, he's found something else that's just for him--tattooing. When he meets a feisty young woman in the club where he works security, he has no idea that she has the ability to change his life forever.
Bee Malone has just moved to Brenton to open up her first tattoo parlor, Masquerade. Despite her young success, nothing is ever as it seems. After being kidnapped at a young age, Bee has difficulty being the daughter her parents lost and letting go of the "parents" she was raised with. When she meets Maddox, she's immediately attracted to him and what starts out as a one night stand leaves Bee wanting to connect with him in more ways than one.
Once Maddox finds out about Masquerade, he wants nothing more than to join Bee. But letting him in means trying to figure out who she is and she's not ready for that. And yet, as the two get closer, they find themselves leaning on each other more than they are comfortable with. Will their stubborn nature tear them apart? Or push them closer together?

Excerpt:
What gives me an
ache in my chest is the fact that she has what I want. I haven’t cared enough
about anything to feel jealous in a long-ass time, but that’s exactly what
comes to mind when I look at her.
“You
coming to the party?” I ask her.
“I’m
here to see you.”
She
doesn’t give me a chance to reply as she pushes her way around me and inside.
What I would give to kick her out of this room just because I can, but since I
don’t really know if she’s giving me shit or if she came for the party, I hold
back. It’s not like Trevor to let someone in here for no reason.
Right
on her heels, I follow her until she rounds the corner and pulls to a stop once
she can see inside. Not having enough time to go around her, my body lines
right up against hers, Bee’s nice little ass tucked right against me. On reflex
I reach out, my hand grabbing her slender waist to make sure she doesn’t
stumble forward. Damn it if that doesn’t bring up all sorts of thoughts about
how it felt to strip her naked and touch her everywhere.
“You
have your hands on me.” There’s a sexy huskiness in her voice that tells me
she’s turned on too. It should make me rip my hand away from her as fast as I
can, but I’m so pissed at her about Masquerade that I can’t stop myself from
being a dick.
“If
I remember correctly, you liked the feel of my hands on you. You were very
enthusiastic about how much you liked it.”
