Mel G. - 2020
    Work has not been altered. Ashley "Ash" Thomas is a young boss, who's known for his ruthless ways and no-nonsense attitude. After running his family's business alongside his brothers for years, Ash no longer wants any part of that life. Nearly losing his life as a result of one of his brother's reckless actions was an eye opener for him and the main reason he is more than ready to step away from the game. Now, all Ash wants to do is run his tattoo business with his best friend, Marcel, and continue to stack his paper. Unfortunately, a lot of people aren't feeling the "new" Ash. His girlfriend Misty being the main one. Misty didn't bother to hide her distaste for Ash's newfound career. She didn't like the possibility of the lifestyle she'd grown accustomed to, changing. She was used to having money at her disposal and Ash wrapped around her finger, but she was slowly noticing that things had changed. Their relationship wasn't the same and she could feel them drifting apart. As much as she tried to stay in Ash' s good graces and keep his attention focused on her, it was no use. There seemed to be a new chick on the scene that had managed to catch Ash's eye without even trying. After finally putting an end to a dead relationship, Jordyn's main focus is on finishing school. Being hit with setback after setback, she's only trying to keep her head above water and survive. She had no time for distractions and money was her only motive. The last thing she needed was to fall for her handsome, quick-tempered boss. As much as Jordyn tries to convince herself that he isn't what she needs, she finds herself drawn to him and the attraction between the two is undeniable. Will she be able to stick to her guns and keep things between them strictly business or fall victim to this savage's charm?
