WHAT IS PINK INK:

Pink Ink Designs is a graphic, print and web design company based in Charlottesville, Virginia with a strong focus in book cover design, author branding, and interior book formatting. While my home may be in Virginia, most of my clients are located throughout the United States and beyond. I place a huge emphasis on awesome design, excellent client service, and timely communication. Throughout my thorough design process, you work directly with me as we create a look that reflects your style.

HOW I GOT HERE:

As a graphic design student at Piedmont Virginia Community College and a self taught designer, my goal of being an author as well as opening my own graphic design business has always been a dream of mine. Over the last year, I have slowly geared my career path towards this goal, taking in every bit of business and design experience I could along the way. I threw together my own brand and website with big hopes and fingers crossed for Pink Ink Designs. By December of 2014 my business had taken off faster than I could have ever hoped and lead me to take the leap into full time self employment as of April 30, 2015.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE:

In between designing, I am a contemporary/erotic romance author as well as a group fitness instructor at Gold's Gym where I am a Les Mills instructor certified in BodyAttack, BodyCombat, BodyFlow, BodyStep, and Body Pump. I have three wonderful children and a very loving and supportive husband who has been with me as I have chased after my dream. I was born and raised in Arkansas (Go Razorbacks!) but have lived in Virginia for the past 12 years.

Pink Ink Designs is the way to go!" -Sandi Lynn USA TODAY and NYT Bestselling Author

Emotions play an important role in how we think and behave. Our emotions are composed by how we experience them, how our bodies react to them, and how we act in response to them.

The trigger that Nicola and her doctors have been searching for nearly her whole life—the catalyst to ignite feelings within her— has sparked.

I AM AN ESCORT.

I screw men and get screwed for money,

living my life everyday as Jericho Lane.

My clientele list is immaculate.

I am sought out, demanded

and damn good at my job.

I don’t care that these men have families at home,

or that they are important people.

I do it for the money.

to survive.

There is nothing that could make me

feel a bit of remorse or

concern about what I do because

I was born with the inability

to experience or feel emotions...

I don’t feel PAIN

I don’t feel SORROW.

I don’t feel extreme HAPPINESS or LOVE

I am VOID.

A blank canvas of emotions.

An empty hole in an endless sea of

circumstances, moods and relationships.

Until one client changes EVERYTHING.

Kelly Harris is feisty and her strong nature can probably rival that of most men. She isn’t one to take crap from anyone and has a tendency to challenge those who challenge her. A painful childhood left Kelly with a need for control in all things that she is unwilling to relinquish. Being known to dump men after just one date or one time in the sack is her usual style, until she meets Knoxville Tanner.

Knoxville Tanner is the co-owner of the BDSM club, The Celtic Knot. Having had his heart trampled on has left him jaded. The club gave him the ability to satisfy his sexual needs without the risk of commitment. On the night of the club’s grand opening, however, after meeting Kelly…that all went out the window.

Will Knox be able to concede control in order to give the one he loves what she desperately needs; and will Kelly be able to accept the sacrifice and in return give Knox the one thing that she has guarded the most…her heart?
