Sins and Needles — Karina Halle

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Ship of Bones and Teeth comes a spicy, dark romance about a woman on the run for fans of Katee Robert and Sophia Lark.

Ellie Watt is a woman on the run. After making the mistake of falling for a vicious mob boss, she hopes to find refuge at her uncle's farm in quiet Palm Valley, California. Ellie swears she's through with her life of crime. But before she knows it, she's right back in the game when she meets an easy mark who's too good -- and too hot -- to be true.


Master tattoo artist Camden McQueen is nothing like the awkward kid who crushed on Ellie back in high school. Now, as the owner of the wildly successful Sins & Needles, he's got tats to kill for, muscles to die for, and money to burn. Ellie can't believe the transformation -- and can't resist pulling off one last con. But when Camden catches Ellie red-handed, the tables are turned. The mark becomes the master. And when the ultimate player gets played, you never know who's going to end up on top . . .
