Ashes and Embers
A Powerful Historical Romance of Duty, Danger, and DesireBy Charlotte Ainsley
Length6h 30m
About this audiobook
A forbidden wartime romance born on the front lines of the Spanish Civil War.
When a British volunteer nurse joins the International Brigades, she expects danger—not the fierce, undeniable pull toward a Spanish Republican soldier fighting to save his homeland. In a world of air raids, retreating battalions, and shattered loyalties, their slow burn, forbidden love becomes the only light in a country falling to darkness.
But duty divides them.
She must evacuate with the medical corps.
He refuses to abandon his men.
As the war tightens its grip, they must choose between survival, sacrifice, and the one person who makes the world worth fighting for.
Perfect for readers of emotional historical romance, 20th-century fiction, and love stories forged in war.
