THE ASH ONE: An Erotic Second Chance Small Town Paranormal Romance
About this audiobook
On a lonely hill, widow Mira tends a dying shrine and the ashes of a long-silent phoenix, clinging to memories of the man she buried and the life that burned out with him.
One storm-split night, the fire answers. Aren rises from the brazier in a man’s body—glowing, cracked, impossibly gentle—and offers her the one thing she no longer believes in: a new beginning.
As the village plots to tear the shrine down and drag its power to the valley temple, Mira and Aren stand together between faith and fear, steel and flame. Every time he burns to protect her, the fractures along his skin deepen, bringing him closer to falling back into ash.
Desire coils slowly between them—asked for, never stolen—as touch becomes prayer and comfort turns dangerous. To save the shrine, they must choose what to sacrifice: the miracle they’ve found in each other, or the only home they’ve ever known.
