Sonnet Franklin has never been the daughter her mother wanted. While Gloria Franklin dreamed of an ambitious beauty queen turned perfect housewife, Sonnet found solace in fantasy novels instead. But despite decades of tension, when Gloria is diagnosed with dementia, Sonnet doesn’t hesitate to move back home to care for her.

One evening, after a long shift at the hospital, Sonnet returns to find her childhood home empty and her mother missing. An overwhelming panic sets in, but it’s not just fear that awaits her - it’s an armed and dangerous stowaway in her backseat with everything to lose.

Clifton has gambled his life away, owing more money than he can ever hope to repay after a disastrous night at the poker table. With his brother behind bars for a failed scheme, Clifton is desperate to come up with the cash fast. When his car is taken as collateral, he spots an opportunity in the form of a petite redhead in scrubs, alone in the dark - a risky chance that just might be his way out.

At every turn, they’re bound to each other in a never ending game of cat and mouse where nothing is ever what it seems. Through it all, Sonnet and Clifton must find a way to save each other, and the love that’s worth more than any wager he’s ever made.

Blurb:

Gabrielle Lawrence left Harrington with no intentions of looking back. Now a successful tattoo artist with her own shop, she’s rewritten her life to erase every memory of The Six - the high school clique who made her miserable, led by the ruthless Jocelyn. But when her best friend drags her back for a bachelorette party, Gabrielle stumbles right into the arms of the one who shattered her heart: Jace Caufford.

Jace was the golden boy - prom king, football captain, heartthrob - until a career-ending injury wrecked his dreams and left him grappling with his own demons. Now, years later, he’s back in Harrington, living in his childhood home and raising a son he never knew existed. The last thing he expects to see is Gabrielle, fierce and untouchable back in his life.

What starts as a reluctant reconnection soon ignites into an impulsive night of passion, but with old habits - and old rivals - standing in their way, forgiveness won’t come easy. Can Gabrielle and Jace overcome the heartbreak of their past and the new threats that loom, or will Jocelyn and The Six ensure their second chance is over before it begins?

Inked Magnolia is the first book in the Bright Ridge Six Series. Each book is an interconnected standalone that explores the complex past and present of one of the members of The Six. This book is a second chance, single dad romance with tropes such as hurt/comfort, redemption, past bully turned lover, and found family.
