Ashen Saints

She went looking for the truth.

Instead, she found the one man everyone warned her to fear.

When wildfire investigator Rowan Hale uncovers evidence that a deadly blaze was deliberately set, she expects resistance. She never expects bullets, betrayal, or the death of the only man who believed her. With her evidence destroyed and powerful enemies determined to silence her, Rowan's only chance of surviving lies with the notorious Ashen Saints Motorcycle Club—the very outlaws she has spent years distrusting.

Towering, battle-scarred, and nearly unable to speak after a tragedy that changed his life forever, Gideon "Giant" Mercer has earned a reputation as the club's most feared enforcer. But beneath the silence is a man driven by unwavering loyalty and an unbreakable promise to protect the innocent. When Rowan becomes the target of a ruthless conspiracy, Giant invokes an ancient club claim that places her under his protection—whether she wants it or not.

Forced into the home of the silent biker who refuses to leave her side, Rowan struggles to separate truth from deception. Every clue points toward a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the burning sawmill, exposing a trail of suspicious fires, stolen land, corrupt officials, and betrayal hidden within the brotherhood itself. And someone inside the Ashen Saints may be working with the enemy.

The closer Rowan and Giant come to uncovering the truth, the harder it becomes to ignore the dangerous pull between them. But in a world where trust can be fatal and every secret has a price, surrendering her heart may be the greatest risk of all.

Because some fires are meant to destroy.

Others reveal everything worth fighting for.

And when the final betrayal comes, Rowan will have to decide whether the silent giant standing beside her is her greatest mistake...

...or the only man who can save them both.
