From The Ashes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991489874)

A Love That Heals. A Betrayal That Shatters.

He was born to protect. She was taught to obey. But when their worlds collide, nothing will ever be the same.

Asher has always been the shield for the people he loves-his family, his friends, anyone in need. So when he finds Jade at a frat party, vulnerable and alone, stepping in isn't a choice. It's instinct. She doesn't need a boyfriend, just someone to look out for her. And that's exactly what he becomes. Until the lines blur. Until friendship isn't enough. Until she's his.

Jade has spent her entire life walking on eggshells, trying to please a mother who only cares about appearances. When she's forced into a party she never wanted to attend, one night changes everything. The next morning, she wakes up feeling lost, broken-until she realizes someone was watching over her. Asher. The dark, tattooed stranger who makes her feel safe for the first time in her life.

With Asher, she finds strength she never knew she had. With Jade, he finds a love he never expected. But when secrets come to light and betrayal cuts deep, will their love be enough to survive the fallout? Or will the past destroy them both?
