Ashes between Us

She remembers the rain. The fire.
The boy who held her while everything burned.

Back then, Sara Walker didn't know her life was built on secrets-or that the boy who saved her was part of them.

Now, years later, she's back home to settle her late father's estate, expecting nothing more than dust and maybe a few old memories. What she finds instead is the truth:
Her dad was working for the mafia. And the boy from her past? Allistar Hayes? He's not just part of that world anymore-he runs it.

Allistar has become cold, powerful, and untouchable. He's spent years building an empire his father left behind. But Sara's return stirs something in him-and brings back everything he tried to forget.

As danger closes in, old enemies resurface, and long-buried secrets start to unravel, the lines between past and present, safety and threat, love and loyalty all begin to blur.

She's the daughter of a man who lied to her.
He's the heir to a life soaked in blood.
And neither of them saw this coming.

A slow-burn, high-stakes romance about how two broken worlds can collide-and maybe, just maybe, catch fire all over again.
