From the moment he saw her, he wanted her. There’s just one problem. His dark fae boss already has plans for her.

Kit has always felt out of place—haunted by shadows of a betrayal she can’t forget and a sister who vanished into thin air. But nothing prepares her for the day her quiet life shatters. First, it’s the sensation of being watched. Then, a devastatingly handsome stranger steps into her path, saving her from an attack by brutal men, but leaving her with more questions than answers.

Flint was sent to watch her, a pawn in his father’s dangerous game. But from the moment he lays eyes on Kit, his orders unravel. She’s nothing like he expected—fierce, vulnerable, and too captivating for his own good. Torn between loyalty to the Shadow Court and a desire that threatens to consume him, Flint knows one thing: he’ll burn the world down to keep her safe.

But in a world of dark bargains and deadly consequences, can anyone escape unscathed?

Perfect for fans of K.F. Breene, Laura Thalassa, and C.N. Crawford, A Secret in the Ashes delivers searing romance, devastating betrayals, and an ending that will leave you begging for more.
