Some flames never die. Some hearts never stop burning.

When Jessie Reardon, ER nurse and firefighter's wife, loses her husband in a blaze that rocks their New York crew, she's left with nothing but ashes and unfinished dreams. Surrounded by old friends, haunted by what-if's, Jessie turns to the one man she's always kept at arm's length: Tucker Walsh—her late husband's best friend, the only one who ever made her question what she truly wanted.

But grief has teeth, and New York isn't done testing her. As Jessie tries to outrun heartbreak, she's pulled into a storm of tangled loyalties, secret longings, and dangerous obsession. Tucker, battling guilt and forbidden desire, will risk everything—including himself—to protect the only woman he's ever loved.

Between shattered promises, stolen moments, and a city that never stops burning, Jessie and Tucker must fight for a second chance before jealousy turns deadly and love goes up in smoke.

Perfect for fans of angsty, high-stakes romance, slow-burn tension, and stories where the only thing messier than the past is the future. "Ashes Between Us" will break your heart, make you sweat, and leave you begging for more.
