Loki’s Angel by Darlene Tallman

CeeCee Morgan grew up knowing several facts about herself – she was worthless, she should never have been born, she was stupid, and she was a waste of space. However, at six, her life changed for the better and she became part of a loving, happy family.

The scars left behind, however, keep her from dating. Determined that she will get every best thing, her best friend researches local tattoo artists until she finds one that can help cover up the past so that CeeCee can have the future she truly deserves.

Callum “Loki” O’Rourke has made a name for himself in the tattoo community. While he’ll do the flash art that folks want, his passion is helping those who are scarred regain their confidence and self-esteem. From burn victims to mastectomy patients, there’s not much he hasn’t seen since he first picked up his tattoo gun. He’s never been affected by a client until she walks into his shop.

Now he’s a man on a mission – to design the best possible tattoo to show what she has come to mean to him during their long sessions while hopefully building a life with her – his earth angel.

But the past that was dead and buried comes roaring back with a vengeance into CeeCee’s life. Will she crumble or will her newfound self-confidence enable her to keep walking tall? And can she handle being enfolded in the family Loki’s made with the Poseidon’s Warriors MC?
