Leilani
One fateful night, I stumbled into his tattoo parlor, my heart shattered by betrayal.
Kade Alvarez, the brooding artist with ink-covered skin and haunted eyes.
He's dangerous, a bad boy with a reputation that should send me running.
But I'm drawn to his darkness, to the pain that mirrors my own.
He sees through my facades, awakening desires I've never dared to explore.
I know I should resist him, guard what's left of my broken heart.
But with every touch, every searing kiss, I'm falling deeper under his spell.
Loving Kade could be my salvation or my ultimate destruction.
Kade
She walked into my shop like a lost angel, all wide-eyed innocence and hidden scars.
I should send her away, protect her from the beast that lurks beneath my ink.
But I crave her light, her goodness, even as I long to taint it.
I want to mark her skin, claim her body and soul.
I've never let a woman get close, never believed in the lie of love.
Yet with Leilani, I find myself yearning for more than just fleeting pleasure.
She's my sweet addiction, tempting me to crash against the rocks of my own damnation.
I know I'll ruin her, but I can't stay away, even if it destroys us both in the end.
In the steamy streets of Miami, two damaged hearts collide, igniting a firestorm of passion and pain. Can Kade and Leilani heal each other's wounds, or will their pasts tear them apart forever?

A Note to Readers: While 'Canvas of Our Souls' tackles heavy subjects and intense emotions, it is not a traditional dark romance. This book is about the light that can be found in even the darkest of places, and the transformative power of love and healing. If you're looking for a gritty, explicit read, this may not be the book for you.
