Skin by Johanna Hawke

A small town, second chance, romance.

Jesse always was the bad boy. Even back in high school. I tried to forget about him when he went to prison, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about Jesse, it’s that he can never be erased. Makes sense he’s now a world famous tattoo artist.
I tried everything to put him in my past. I moved half way across the country and swore I’d never look back. A girl can only afford to have her heart broken so many times in her life.

But now I’m home. My father is ill and I’m the only one who can look after him.
And Jesse is not going to leave me alone. He’s like the tattoo you get in high school and spend the rest of your life regretting. He’s burned into my soul. He’s forever. And I can only resist for so long.
