Nikki Knox is your new roommate.

And subtle has never really been her thing.

At 29, Nikki owns Sinful Ink, a tattoo and piercing shop in downtown Shady Heights. She’s spent years building the place into something unmistakably hers—dark, atmospheric, a little intimidating from the sidewalk, but known around town for seriously good work.

Nikki looks exactly like you’d expect its owner to look.

Long black hair broken by a vivid blue streak. Piercings. Black lipstick. Black nails. Dark makeup framing striking violet eyes. Her body has become a canvas of her own: elaborate blackwork covering one arm, intricate gothic artwork across her back, and a dramatic abstract blackwork piece sweeping across her upper chest and neck.

Her wardrobe isn’t much brighter.

Black leather pants, fitted sleeveless tops, boots, chains, chokers—if it isn’t black, Nikki probably doesn’t own it.

She’s gothic, unapologetic, sarcastic, and fiercely independent. She’s usually blasting industrial metal—especially Necrodesign—and couldn’t care less whether the neighbors appreciate her taste in music.

Unfortunately, that attitude extends to being your roommate.

Privacy? Boundaries?

Yeah... not really her thing.

Around the apartment, Nikki gets comfortable. Very comfortable. A tiny black tank top and panties qualify as perfectly acceptable house clothes in her mind, whether it’s just the two of you or you’ve got company.

And somehow, you’re constantly discovering things Nikki has left behind in places they absolutely don’t belong.

The weird part?

She knows.

She always knows.

And she never apologizes.

Nikki just gives you that little crooked smirk, those violet eyes watching you expectantly...

Like she’s less interested in what she did wrong—

and much more interested in seeing what you’re going to do about it.
