Ashes of Us: From Heartbreak to Heat, a Second Chance Romance

Now an arsonist is lighting up their hometown—right where their history still smolders.

When firefighter Evan Callahan is called back to Calverton "just for a few weeks," he expects routine calls and a quick exit. Instead he finds Aubrey Hale—the girl he once walked away from—standing on the fireline with steel in her spine and his name she refuses to say. As suspicious blazes hit the community center, the river ridge, and the library grounds, the pattern is unmistakable: someone is burning the places this town loves most…places Aubrey fights to protect.

Evan is the man who knows heat; Aubrey is the woman who knows this town's heartbeat. Forced to work side-by-side, they follow scorch marks and half-buried secrets, each blaze pushing them closer to answers—and to the one thing more dangerous than the flames: the truth about why he left. Sparks fly, trust rebuilds one hard-won breath at a time, and desire roars back to life. But second chances aren't promised, and the next fire could take everything.

Heart-pounding, tender, and addictive, Ashes of Us delivers a small-town second-chance romance with a pulse of suspense—and two lovers brave enough to walk through the fire for each other.
