Heir of Ash

The house is freezing. The owner is worse. Sloane Iyer takes the Wren Hall conservatory job because it pays and because nobody else bid on it. Six weeks of glass and lead and a man who lives in two rooms of a mansion he can't afford to light. Aris Wren is forty-three, ruined, and careful with his words. He hired her because she didn't ask questions. Then she finds the ledger, and the questions start. His family destroyed hers. He knows it. She knows it now. And neither of them can afford to walk away from the only honest thing either of them has ever built. A slow-burn age gap romance about the cost of the truth and the two people who decide to pay it.
