Marine Artist

She hates me. I don't know why.
He's a cad! A womanizer! And he's not half as cute or charming as he thinks he is! ★★★
Jesus Benavidez likes women, and he won't deny that they like him too... well... except one. But he's on the backend of his thirties, and it seems like everyone around him has it all figured out and left him in the dust. Then, the curvy bartender from his favorite pub becomes the new manager at his tattoo studio. She still hates him for reasons unknown, but at least now, she can't avoid him.
Stacey Landon just wants to do her job without dealing with overgrown man-children. Especially one man-child in particular. Managing a tattoo studio checks all the boxes of her perfect job, so she will not let her feelings about Jesus get in the way, no matter how confusing those feelings are. No matter how sexy he is or how aware her body is of him.
When someone steals from the studio and frames Stacey as the culprit; it feels like no one is on her side, not even the one person she thought she could rely on. But she's not the damsel she was as a teenager, and this time, she's going to save herself.
Marine Artist is Book Three in the Melrose Lane Series.
