Of the Ashes
England, 1825. Ella Sheffield defies convention with every step she takes. As the sole inheritor of her late father's Barony, she has wealth, independence, and power-an unheard-of combination for a woman in her time. Vowing never to marry and surrender her freedom, Ella believes she can forge her own destiny. But when a penniless writer named Nathan Ashburn crosses her path, her carefully constructed world begins to unravel.

Nathan Ashburn is a penniless writer, capturing the soul of England in his prose. Intrigued by Ella's fierce independence and haunted by his own struggles with a tyrannical stepfather, Ash cannot resist the pull between them. Their connection is electric, but their worlds could not be more different-or more dangerous to combine.

Summoned to London by the King himself and threatened with the loss of her title and her fortune, Ella faces the demand to choose a husband from among society's elite. Refusing to lose the life she has fought so hard to keep, she devises a daring plan...

But secrets have a way of unraveling, and Ash's past threatens to destroy everything they've built. When midnight strikes and betrayal looms, Ella must turn to an enigmatic healer, Maia, who reveals hidden truths about Ella's power-and the lengths she will go to for love.

In a tale of rebellion and romance, Of the Ashes weaves a story of defying expectations, reclaiming agency, and discovering that true love need not come at the cost of one's freedom. This is Cinderella as has not been told before-bold, unapologetic, rewriting how her happily ever after will be told.
