About this audiobook
Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads.
A fated-mates paranormal romance with a one-night stand, forced proximity, public humiliation, and the enemy who claimed her heart. Rowan Ashvale reads memories in ash—but her latest vision reveals a prince’s dying brother plans to resurrect a dead god. Now she must help the duty-bound prince stop him, even if the fire between them consumes everything she built to protect the brother she lost.
Rowan Ashvale has spent years hiding her forbidden gift: she can read the last moments of anything burned to ash, seeing the truth in the embers. She’s built a quiet life as a hearthkeeper in the Ember Dominion, protecting her fragile younger brother from the court that would exploit them both. But when a stranger’s one-night stand leaves her with a lingering trace of his scent—and a vision of a rebellion to come—she knows her sanctuary is crumbling.
That stranger is Prince Kaelen Drakonir, the ruthless heir to the throne. He’s duty-bound to his family, his kingdom, and his dying brother, who has secretly begun a ritual to resurrect the dead god of fire. Kaelen needs Rowan’s power to stop the cataclysm—but the only way to access her gift is through forced proximity, trapped together in the ash-choked ruins of an ancient temple. As they work side by side, the heat between them ignites into a passion neither can deny.
But Rowan’s past is a weapon Kaelen’s enemies will use: a public humiliation at court, designed to break her spirit and separate her from the prince forever. And when Kaelen’s brother learns of their bond, he gives Rowan an impossible choice: betray Kaelen by aiding the resurrection, or watch her brother die. The fire that burns between them could either save the realm—or reduce everything she loves to cinders.
Tropes: Fated mates, one-night stand to forced proximity, enemies to lovers, public humiliation, protective alpha hero, morally grey prince, dying brother’s betrayal, elemental magic, slow burn with explosive payoff.
