He said it would only hurt a little …
On her sixteenth birthday, Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. On my twenty-second, I pricked mine on the needle of a tattoo machine wielded by a beautifully complicated man who would go on to become my ruin.
Madden Ransom was everything I was never allowed to be: unfeeling, opinionated, rebellious … free.
He was also everything I was never allowed to be with.
And while Sleeping Beauty fell into a peaceful slumber as she awaited true love’s kiss, I fell into something else entirely—my heart in the hands of a man who’d never given nor received anything remotely like love.
It turns out when Madden told me it would only hurt a little… he didn’t mean the tattoo.
Brighton lives in a gilded cage and she wants freedom. On her 22nd birthday she goes and gets a tattoo, a sign signifying that she is ready to change and be free. She tasks the tattoo artist, Madden, that it can be anything just has to be small and hidden. His only request: never asking what the tattoo signifies.
As Brighton struggles and fights for her independence, she and Madden form an unlikely friendship, that becomes something a little bit more. But its temporary for the both of them, or so was their agreement. It was temporary until it became more. But both have secrets.
