***This is a new adult contemporary novel and contains sexual content and graphic language. It is not intended for young adult readers.***
A tattoo gets them in trouble… He will get them out.
After years of cultivating an undercover identity, Brody West is finally off the case and free to live a life of his own. All that time spent in the company of criminals and killers left him a little jaded… and with an identity crisis. He isn’t sure who he is anymore, or who he wants to be.
To give him time to think, he takes a few days off to go fishing. On his way out of town, he makes a routine stop at the bank and finds himself flirting with the girl behind the counter.
But his flirtation is cut short when criminals burst into the bank and shoot her right before his eyes.
In attempt to administer first aid, Brody reveals a tattoo on his back. A mark that will drag him and the girl into the kind of situation he was trying to get away from. But he can’t walk away because he’s the only thing capable of keeping Taylor alive and bringing down the guys who shot her—guys who are seriously dangerous.

Cambria – the super-star author of the Take it Off Series, has just released book #7 in this STANDALONE SERIES. You do not have to read these books in order. They are all different, yet related. And she’s agreed to put up a signed copy of Tattoo for tonight’s Friday Night Freebie! I had a bunch of stuff to take part in her release day blitz, so I’m posting an excerpt and a this graphic teaser too! 
EXCERPT
I had to be in shock.
There was a reason I wasn’t more afraid. There was a reason I wasn’t screaming and fighting to get out of Brody’s arms and away from this god-awful dirty, abandoned, completely creepy gas station. My body wasn’t getting enough blood flow, likely because all the blood was flowing out of me instead of throughout my veins.
It was making me sluggish, slowing my response, and in defense, my body wasn’t making adrenaline. So naturally, I felt completely safe in this stranger’s arms.
Yeah. That was totally it.
It had nothing to do with the fact that he was shirtless, totally ripped, and covered in tattoos that practically screamed sex appeal. It also had nothing to do with the fact he was wearing a backward baseball cap that screamed thuggish behavior. Thuggish behavior was bad. It was very bad.
But so very good.
The thought caused me to shiver and in reaction to the small movement, Brody pulled me just a little bit closer to his chest. His heat was delicious and I felt my eyes begin to droop. Maybe all I needed was a little nap… just a few minutes to rest my eyes.
“Tay,” a nearby voice commanded. “No sleeping.”
I grunted in displeasure and forced my eyes back open, looking around the room. If I couldn’t sleep, then I would study my surroundings. The place looked the way one would expect an abandoned gas station to look. It was basically a large box with concrete walls and floors that were once covered in linoleum but now were peeling and dirty. In the center of the room were empty racks that likely used to hold merchandise. The counter at the front of the room was bare and crooked, like part of it was sinking into the floor. Behind it on the wall was a sign that read what I assumed was supposed to say QUICK MART except the Q and U were missing so it read as ICK MART.
It was actually very accurate.
The windows were all boarded up, with only slivers of sunlight filtering through, leaving ribbons of light across the dusty and trash-littered floor. Off in the corner was a pile of old brown leaves that would likely lie there until they turned to dust.
On the far end of the room were several large coolers, the kind that sat on the floor and opened from the top. They were no longer working, no longer white, and frankly I would be terrified to go and see what was inside them.
So this is where criminals hung out?
The movies made it look so much more glamorous.
“Down here,” one of the men called to Brody, and he pivoted around, following after the men who opened up a hidden door in the wall and disappeared. I could hear their boots clomping down a set of stairs and fear clawed its way up the back of my throat.
I felt my limbs go rigid. They wanted us to go into a basement?

Luv em on dudes as long as they’re tasteful
Tiffany H. (a_tiffyfit)
I am not a fan of tattoos, general speaking. Quite often they are ugly, poor placement, totally not tasteful, something passing that no longer has meaning, etc. E.g. full sleeves can look HORRIBLE if the art sucks and there’s no meaning to the tats chosen. I certainly do NOT want to see a vagina, Bart Simpson, or the like. lol
If it’s a tastefully placed, meaningful tat that isn’t ugly…then I’m totally onboard. It really depends on the person and the tat.

Julie K
For me….it’s not a question of IF a person has a tattoo. It’s whether or not the tattoo suits the personality of that person.
veronica

Trisha Hudson (@TrishaHudson)
I love ink but I love good ink. If you go to a true artist, your skin becomes their canvas. Those are the types of tattoos I like.

Neena Christianson Martin
It depends on the guy, buff guys look good, but if they let themselves go, they usually end up sucking.
Pam
I don’t mind the ink at all. What I don’t particularly like is ink on the hands (especially the fingers … like letters on each finger that spell out something) or over the throat. I don’t know why but I don’t like that.
Jen P
