There's trouble in paradise.
All we had to do was make it through the weekend. It should've been a breeze. A tattoo convention in Cancún with Toni Valentine, the toughest and sexiest tattoo artist in the world? It was a dream come true.
It was my chance to show her how I'd grown. I came to work for her when I was just some kid from LA and she already had a spread in Maxim and a successful video stream, but over the past three years, we've gotten close. And I had plans for us to get even closer.
But now my plans have changed. Now I've got to prove myself in a different way—by saving her from one of Mexico's most brutal cartels.
I'd do anything for Toni, and that includes walking right into the belly of the beast. And I'm not coming back without her.
Valentine's Day is the third book in the Second Skin series. All books in the Second Skin world can be read as standalones, though are best read in order. This book is an erotic romance with explicit sex and strong language, a happily ever after is always guaranteed. Enjoy!

About the author
Ophelia Bell is the author of the super steamy Sleeping Dragons series. Ophelia loves hot alpha heroes, especially if they’re dragons, but believes the world needs more alpha heroines, so has made it her mission to make that happen. Ophelia grew up on a rural farm in North Carolina and now lives in Los Angeles with her sexy tattooed alpha husband and five-and-a-half attention-whoring cats (one of them is exceptionally large and might actually be a dragon in disguise).
