Inked by Pride by Raven Storm — book slip

Caleb Hart lives in a town where secrets are kept quiet, and he abides by one rule: keep his head down and pay what's owed. But when he meets Desiree, a bartender underestimated by everyone, his life takes a turn he never expected.

As their connection deepens, Caleb is drawn into the ancient system of The Black Ledger, a sentient ledger that records the imbalances of men whose lives have tipped too far.

The Ledger demands penance, and Caleb's growing feelings for Desiree might be the most unforgivable debt of all.

First in the Black Ledger Series.
