Be My Muse (The Cross #1)
Chantelle Blake

Hendrix Cross, a young talented tattoo artist, has always felt the sting of loneliness and he longs for something — or someone — to fill the void in his cold heart.
He needs a muse.
Life has never been easy sailing for him. Growing up in care left him feeling out of place until he found his purpose and solace working at a tattoo shop owned by Roman Cassidy who took him in when he was eighteen, teaching him the way of life.
But everything changes when Roman’s daughter, Mila Cassidy, moves from the UK to America after a fallout with her mother. Mila, a fashion guru and art enthusiast with a passion for Chanel and tattoos, begins working in her father’s shop and instantly catches the attention of Hendrix, who is instantly captivated by her beauty.
As the pair get to know each other, Hendrix begins to develop an obsession with Mila and is determined to make her his muse.
And when Hendrix sets his sights on something, he doesn’t rest until it’s his.
Be My Muse is a grumpy/sunshine romance with a HEA and is book 1 in The Cross Series.
