Between Us and Ashes
Zara Mitchell built her life on one belief that she was chosen. For five years, she loved Caleb Stone—powerful, distant, and impossible to fully reach—while quietly losing pieces of herself in a marriage that demanded silence over truth.
Then came the night he didn’t show up.
What begins as a missed anniversary unravels into something far darker. A hidden affair. A carefully orchestrated betrayal. A husband who didn’t just lie—but planned every move, from rekindling old flames to protecting his fortune at her expense. And just when Zara thinks she’s uncovered the worst, a shocking truth emerges—one that proves her marriage was never what it seemed.
Now pregnant and standing at the edge of everything she once believed in, Zara is forced to make a choice: stay and be broken or walk away and risk losing more than just love.
But Caleb isn’t ready to let her go.
And as secrets continue to surface, one question remains—
If he was capable of this much deception what else is he hiding?
Because the deeper Zara digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes and this time, it might cost her everything.
