Beautiful Wreck

For savvy programmer Gabrielle Alvarez, moving to Portland, Oregon means a fresh start with a blank screen. She wants nothing more than to erase the last traces of her old life, starting with an exotic tattoo to hide an old scar. Gabby's instantly drawn to the enigmatic artist, who also happens to be her neighbor. Too bad she's not interested in dating, especially sexy, brooding men. Bowen Landry is the king of broken promises. Hundreds to his sister to get clean plus hundreds more to his band and his boss Tony, who's like the father he should have had. A ton of ones that ended up zeros. But Bowen's sober and he's desperate to stay that way. The last thing he needs is anything complicating his life, even if that complication is shy and curvy new customer, Gabby. Bowen is content keeping a firewall up between them until a stalker threatens Gabby's safety. Alone in a new city, she has no choice but to turn to Bowen for help, moving into his apartment after hers is vandalized. Bowen can't say no, and while the two grow closer, this time he's not making any promises. While the inexperienced Gabby can't deny the charming, reformed bad boy is hardwired for hot sex, she's unsure she can ever trust an addict again. If Bowen can help Gabby forgive her past and his, he may learn to believe in love again.
