Zodiac Signs Original

Aurelia Ashford lost her parents at sixteen and lost her hearing at twenty. By then, she had learned one painful truth. Love always asked her to sacrifice first. Adopted into the powerful Ashford family, Aurelia grew up loving the one man she was never meant to love. Seth Ashford, her adoptive brother. Kind. Gentle. Unreachable. When she saves his life and loses her hearing in the process, Seth becomes her protector, her anchor, and eventually, her secret husband. Their marriage is hidden from the world. To everyone else, they are still just siblings. To Aurelia, he is her everything. Until he chooses someone else. When Seth files for divorce after his first love returns, Aurelia signs the papers in silence, agreeing to disappear back into the role she knows too well. The sister. Not the wife. Not the woman he chose. Then Zane Ashford comes back. The brother who was exiled. Cold. Dangerous. Unapologetic. A man who does not care about family rules or quiet suffering. A man who sees Aurelia not as fragile or pitiful, but as fire. As secrets threaten to surface and jealousy twists old bonds, Aurelia finds herself standing between two brothers and two very different kinds of love. One that was safe but incomplete. One that is reckless and consuming. And when the silence she lives in begins to break, Aurelia must decide if she will continue to love quietly, or finally choose a love that chooses her back.

But one night changed everything, where a fight, one kiss, and too much heat brought about a mistake. And a child, I swore he would never know about. I thought I was free, starting a new job and a new life, until I realized that Ares Brooker signs my paycheck. And just when he decided he wanted me back, someone else stepped in, willing to burn the world too. His rival, Cole Elrod. And the most dangerous choice is the one I can’t stop wanting.
