Ginger Holtzman has fought for everything she's ever had-the success of her tattoo shop, respect in the industry, her upcoming art show. Tough and independent, she has taking-no-crap down to an art form.

Which ... is for the best, because then she doesn't notice how lonely she is. She'll get through it all on her own, just like she always does.
