Christian Ryder may be Hollywood's newest Golden Boy, but to Sophia Hastings, he's a reminder that you can't outrun your past, especially if you're the kid who used to walk the mile in high school.
Eighteen-year-old Sophia has had big screen dreams ever since she can remember. Too bad her only taste of fame involved a tree costume, buffalo wings, and a submission to America's Funniest Home videos a decade ago. That all changes when a lucky break lands her in Hollywood, with none other than Christian Ryder at her side.
A heartthrob whose acting career skyrocketed faster than even he could keep up with, Christian has it all: the fame, the fortune, and the girls. He would gladly tell anyone who was willing to listen all about the girls. Too bad the only one who actually matters would sooner jump off of a cliff than jump into bed with him.
Sophia is determined not to let her new leading man get to her. Christian has never been afraid of a challenge. But this one has a catch. This challenge could destroy much more than just his ego.

Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️
"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night.

Ethan: "Then why are you still holding your breath?" Every meeting becomes a battlefield, every word a calculated strike. She wants to win the deal. He wants to win against her. But between late-night strategy sessions and dangerously close arguments, the line between hate and something far more dangerous begins to blur. Ethan: "I'm not here to win, Aria. I'm here to make sure you lose." Aria: "Guess I'm harder to kill than your ego." Some grudges never die. Some desires never fade. And this time, the stakes are more than just business-because losing might mean giving up the one thing they swore they'd never want again. And some second chances might cost more than either is willing to pay.
