Ink And Paint

Ink and Paint by Linda Moon In a world that taught her to shrink, Mona Devoe is ready to take up space. At 4'11" and unapologetically plus-sized, Mona has spent years hiding her generous curves, sharp tongue, and wounded heart behind black lipstick, tattoos, and baggy clothes.

Content with her quiet life at Blackwood Books and her half-finished novel, she's given up on the kind of love that sees all of her—until a tall, paint-splattered man walks into her world and refuses to look away. Jay Datsun is everything she never thought she could have.

Tall, broad-shouldered, and devastatingly handsome, the owner of Datsun Paint & Supply carries his own scars from being wanted only for his looks. But when the fiery, purple-haired bookstore employee storms into his shop demanding color for her writing room, something deep inside him stirs. For the first time, he wants more than a night—he wants her.

All of her. As walls crumble between stolen kisses, late-night talks, and slow, heated nights filled with praise, passion, and healing, Mona and Jay discover what it means to be truly seen, desired, and loved exactly as they are.

From paint-stained nights in her apartment to emotional breakthroughs, family introductions, and a future painted in bold, vibrant color, their love story is raw, steamy, and deeply emotional.

Ink and Paint is a body-positive, plus-size romance about healing old wounds, embracing desire, and finding the kind of love that celebrates every curve, every scar, and every loud, beautiful part of you.
