About ASHES TO INK
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan comes a new story in her Montgomery Ink series…
Back in Denver, Abby lost everything she ever loved, except for her daughter, the one memory she has left of the man she loved and lost. Now, she’s moved next to the Montgomerys in Colorado Springs, leaving her past behind to start her new life.
One step at a time.
Ryan is the newest tattoo artist at Montgomery Ink Too and knows the others are curious about his secrets. But he’s not ready to tell them. Not yet. That is…until he meets Abby.
Abby and Ryan thought they had their own paths, ones that had nothing to do with one another. Then…they took a chance.
On each other.
One night at a time.

Excerpt
“Although, I do have to say, Ryan
might be the wildest of us all.” Adrienne winked.
Abby frowned at that but didn’t say
anything. Was Adrienne trying to match up two of her single friends? She wasn’t
sure if she was ready for anything like that. Or if she could think about Ryan
like that at all.
He was handsome, that was for sure.
And he always had a soft smile for Abby and was really great with Julia whenever
they ran into each other. But that wasn’t often since Julia was usually with
the sitter when Abby was working. Or maybe Abby was just reading into what
Adrienne had said because she’d had a little too much caffeine that morning. It
was time to switch to herbal tea for the rest of the day if this was how she
was going to start thinking.
“You better hurry if you’re going to
make your appointment. I’ll be over later with any tea you need. Just call if
you want something different than the peppermint. Or if Mace or any of the
others need anything.”
Adrienne leaned over and hugged Abby
hard before taking her chai. “That I can do. It’s just me, Mace, and Ryan over
there. It’s Shep’s day off to hang out with the kiddos.”
“I’m glad that you guys are able to
work it out with all the kids. Daisy is with Shep as well?”
“Yes. Since we’re able to make our
schedules work, we don’t have to get an outside sitter as much.” Adrienne
paused. “You know, Julia’s always welcome to come over. I know that you would
trade off with us if you could. You don’t have to pay for a sitter. We
Montgomerys make it work, and you are
an honorary Montgomery, after all.” Abby didn’t shake her head or say no. She
knew the others were just trying to help, but it was sometimes hard to
willingly accept help when she wanted to stand on her own two feet. Plus, Abby
didn’t want to have to rely on anyone. Everything could change in an instant.
She shook off that thought and tried
not to think about what it meant. She knew she was thinking about Max and the
fact that she hadn’t really spoken to his family since the funeral. They hadn’t
even met their granddaughter. Hadn’t been involved in anything having to do
with Julia’s life. But that was okay. Abby would be okay. She had to be okay.
