About INK EXPOSED
The Montgomery Ink series continues with the brother that deserves a second chance, and the woman who has always loved him.
Alex Montgomery lost his first love and then proceeded to leave himself in the bottle. Only he and his ex-wife truly know why he fell so hard and so fast down a path he never thought he’d take. Now he’s clean, out of rehab, and learning how to be a Montgomery once again—a task that isn’t quite as easy as some of his family assumes.
Tabby Collins is an honorary Montgomery and the organizational mastermind behind Montgomery Inc., the family’s construction company. She loves her planners, friends, and a certain dark-haired man who’s never given her a second glance.
Alex is slowly re-immersing himself back into the world, but the demons he faced before aren’t out of the picture, and he’ll have to learn to rely on others to make it out whole. When Alex discovers that Tabby’s life is in danger, he not only finds a way to help her but also learns the true woman behind the soft smiles he’s always seen. Their romance won’t be an easy one, but nothing this passionate and heart-pounding ever is.

“Mrs. Montgomery?”
Alex turned at the sound of the
soft voice behind him, his heart suddenly beating just a bit faster though he
didn’t know why.
Tabitha moved toward them, a
hesitant smile on her face as she studied the two of them. She wore her light auburn
hair up high in a ponytail though he was pretty sure at one point she’d been a
blonde. It might have just been the trick of light. He couldn’t quite remember
much of the past couple of years if he were honest with himself. She was a
little above average in height and all legs—legs he’d checked out more than
once in the past year.
But he’d always pushed those
thoughts aside like would do now. He was in recovery damn it and though he was
past the year mark that most people suggested addicts wait to start a
relationship, he knew that Tabitha wouldn’t be the woman he started up with
once he was ready.
She worked with his brothers,
Storm and Wes, at Montgomery Inc. She was the administrative assistant for the
construction company his parents had started before he was born and he was
pretty sure ran the company to the efficient standards it held. Wes might be
super organized and diligent, but Alex knew Wes and Storm wouldn’t be able to
function without Tabitha.
“Tabby!” His mother moved forward
and brought the other woman into her arms.
Tabitha smiled fondly, this time
not as hesitant, and hugged his mother back. “Hi, Mrs. Montgomery. I thought
I’d come a bit early and see if you needed help cooking today. Mr. Montgomery
let me in.”
Alex stuffed his hands in his
pockets and watched the way his mother fawned over Tabitha. He couldn’t really
blame her either. There wasn’t a bad bone in Tabitha’s body and every time he
saw her she was always put together and helping someone. He didn’t know if she
had anyone at home waiting for her or family around here, but he knew the
Montgomerys had taken her in anyway. They tended to do that to anyone they
liked and admired near enough to their web.
“How many times have I asked you
to call me Marie, Tabby?” Marie held Tabitha’s hands and shook her head though
he could tell his mother was smiling.
“Every time I see you, but I have
a bad habit I can’t seem to shake.” Tabitha looked up and over at Alex and
smiled though it wasn’t the same smile she’d giving his mother and he couldn’t
quite read it. “Hi, Alexander.”
“Hi.” He always found it weird
that they were the only ones that called each other by their full names but it
had been one of those things that had stuck years ago and he didn’t know how to
change it. And frankly, he didn’t want to.
