Embered Fate ~ Joe Burrow

Book 2
Sequel to Orange Heart

Embered
Adjective:
Something that retains a faint glow or warmth after the main source of heat has been extinguished.

Their love set the world on fire.
Now all that remains are the embers.

Kenna Walker walked away from the only man who ever made her believe in forever-because he let someone else kiss him, and didn't stop her. The heartbreak didn't come with closure, only silence... and survival.

Now she's in a new city, filming a new project, building a version of herself that doesn't flinch at his name. The kind of girl who keeps things light, keeps her personal life to herself, and shares one too many secrets with her co-star-the one she swore she'd never cross the line with.

But grief doesn't follow rules. And sometimes, pretending it's just chemistry is easier than admitting it still hurts.

Miles away, Joe Burrow is left with the wreckage of what they had-and what he ruined. Regret clings to him like a second skin. The pressure, the fame, the afternoon he didn't stop it-he'd take it all back if he could. But you can't rewind betrayal.

Still, her name is a bruise he can't heal. Her memory, a heartbeat he can't quiet.

And when fate throws them into the same orbit once more, neither of them is who they used to be.

But maybe... the embers still are.
