Ashes of Desire
Ivy Cruz is broke, desperate, and out of options. With debt collectors closing in and her brother fighting for his life in a hospital bed, she has no choice but to accept a dangerous deal from the gangster she owes everything to.
His demand?
Pretend to be the wife of Damon Williams—a cold, ruthless billionaire who was believed to have died in a fire.
The offer is impossible to resist. If she plays the part, Ivy can take whatever she wants from Damon, enough to pay off her debts and save her brother. Refusing means certain death at the gangster’s hands.
But what Ivy never expected… is that Damon would believe her.
Two years ago, Damon lost his wife, Selena, in the fire. Her body was never found. Now Ivy stands before him—identical in every way, down to the secret birthmark only he ever knew.
Dragged into a dangerous lie, Ivy becomes the shadow of a woman she never met. Damon, consumed by grief and obsession, is convinced fate has returned his wife to him—and he will never let her go.
As Ivy steps deeper into his dark, possessive world, she can’t shake the guilt of living another woman’s life. But with secrets about the fire beginning to unravel, one question burns hotter than the rest:
What really happened the night Selena died?
And when Damon discovers the truth, will Ivy survive his wrath… or his love?
Because when love rises from ashes—it can either heal or burn everything to the ground.
