Revenge is complicated enough on its own. Add motorcycles, tattoo shops, secret agendas, emotional baggage, and an unexpected polyamorous romance, and suddenly everything catches fire at once.

Ink and Insults, by Ki Brightly and M.D. Gregory, blends queer romance, emotional drama, found family, and simmering tension into a messy, heartfelt story about revenge plans gone spectacularly off-script.

Ren Booth arrives in New Gothenburg with a mission: destroy his older brother Luke’s life piece by piece. Luke’s choices shaped Ren’s future in ways he’s never forgiven, and now Ren is determined to retaliate by targeting everything his brother values most, including his motorcycle club and the chosen family he’s built around himself.

Opening a tattoo parlor next door to Luke’s world is only the beginning.

What Ren doesn’t anticipate are the people who complicate his carefully crafted scheme.

Oli has spent years working in Luke’s barber shop while dreaming of becoming a tattoo artist. Watching Ren move in beside the Ink Well, the very studio Oli longs to join, feels like a personal insult wrapped in expensive ink and aggravating confidence. Matters only worsen when Ren starts dating KC Beaumont, the sweet, overworked college linebacker Oli has quietly been crushing on for far too long.

KC, meanwhile, is exhausted from trying to manage expectations, family dynamics, and feelings he can no longer ignore. Choosing between Ren and Oli feels impossible, especially when the chemistry between all three men becomes undeniable.

As attraction deepens into a genuine relationship, Ren finds himself pulled away from revenge and toward something far more dangerous: emotional vulnerability. But secrets rarely stay buried forever. When Ren’s true motives finally come to light, the fragile trust between the three men threatens to collapse completely.

Packed with emotional tension, queer found-family dynamics, tattoo-shop atmosphere, bisexual and polyamorous romance, and complicated loyalty, Ink and Insults explores how love can emerge from even the messiest beginnings.

Because sometimes the heart ruins perfectly good revenge plans.
