Through Frost and Flame

Jason James thought he had life all figured out. A rugged, hardworking contractor with a sharp wit and a heart of gold, he built a life of stability and strength for himself and his loved ones. But when Nikolai Volkov-a brooding and enigmatic Russian architect-entered his life years ago, Jason discovered that love wasn't something you planned for; it was something that could break down walls you didn't even know existed.
Now, as a married couple navigating the ups and downs of their shared world, Jason and Nikolai must find balance between their vastly different cultures, temperaments, and ways of communicating. Nikolai's icy exterior and Jason's fiery passion create a relationship full of sparks, both the kind that ignite love and the kind that challenge their bond.
When Nikolai is called back to Russia to resolve a family crisis, Jason insists on accompanying him, plunging them into a world of old wounds and unspoken truths. As they confront the shadows of Nikolai's past, both men must reconcile who they are as individuals and who they've become as a couple.

Set against the backdrop of a snowy Russian winter and the heat of their undeniable connection, *Through Frost and Flame* is a story of love tested by distance, family, and the elements of their own hearts. Can their marriage weather the storm, or will the frost and flame that brought them together threaten to tear them apart?
