Body Ink and Soul Synopsis
Phoenix Silverstone more commonly known as Nix,
is a twenty-one year old that has finally discovered her freedom. After
living under the strict rules and protection of her mother, Nix moved out with
her two best friends in a quaint little Seattle apartment. For the first
time Nix is finally able to spread her wings and breathe. Together, they get a
job working at a bar and for the first time everything is perfect.
Freedom, friendships, a great job and fantastic
man on the verge of becoming hers. Tristan is the suave, intelligent, not to
mention gorgeous law student that Nix has her eyes and heart set on. For the
first time, she has her life together; that is, until her path crosses with
Levi. The charming, tattooed and downright sexy bad boy that Nix knows she
needs to avoid.
But when one of her friends moves out she is
shocked to find that her new roommate is none other than Levi. Flirting.
Desire. Undeniable temptations. Nix can’t deny the chemistry surging between
them but she can’t forget her mother’s extreme hate towards bad boys.
Will Nix have the strength to listen to her
heart? Or will her mother’s rules cost her everything?
Excerpt
''Can I
get you anything?'' I asked him, while taking all the empty plastic glasses off
the counter.
''A smile.
Give me that and you’ll get the biggest tip tonight.'' The slow seductive tone
rolling off his shapely lips told me he wasn’t just fooling around. His green
eyes were staring at me like I was dessert. This guy was hot and he knew it.
The way his tousled light brown hair went every which way, hanging down onto
his forehead, told me right away he didn’t care about his looks. He didn’t have
to.
He wanted
a smile? I shook my head. ''You don’t want a drink? Just water, maybe?''
''No, just
a smile. You're the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen and it's just a smile I
want.'' He brushed his hand through his hair, making it even more distressed.
I knew I
was blushing and biting my lips in embarrassment. His eyes refused to stray
from mine, pinning me in place. I smiled, but not because he asked. No,
this was solely because this very random man had pulled one out of me on his
own. I saw the humor in his eyes. He slid fifty bucks out of his pocket and
onto the counter. ''Thank you, Princess. You just made my night.''
He got up
and walked away. I could see the hint of tattoos peeking out of his neckline
and rolled up sleeves, but I was too astonished to call after him or say
anything. He was wearing simple black converse, washed out jeans and a black
long sleeve henley. There was something about him - mysterious and inscrutable.
If he wanted to get my attention, well -
he got it.
Who the
hell was that? I kept asking myself as he walked away. I knew he was the guy
Tyler had been excited to see, but I had never seen him around here before. I
knew I would have remembered that piece of man candy.
He didn't
give me his name and I didn't give him mine. Not that he had to ask - I had a
name tag with my name on it. It was the strangest thing that ever happened to
me. My eyes remained trained on him
until he opened the door of the club and left. I found myself still watching
the door, even after it was closed, like I wanted to chase after him – which
was insane. I shook my head, willing myself to move on.
I began
wiping the counter, pausing to watch Val entertain her groupies at the station next
to me. As I turned to grab more lemons, my eyes were drawn again to the door.
Tristan walked in with few of his friends. I had never seen Tristan here before
and even after our dinner date tonight, I still didn’t expect it. I couldn’t
tell if I was excited by the surprise visit or nervous about it. I felt like he
was parading a bunch of his buddies around my bedroom, looking through all my
dirty laundry. This was my home away from home and I wasn’t sure if I was ready
to let him in—yet. Not to mention I
was still shaken up from Mr. Mysterious.
