Ashes to Ashes

How far would you go for revenge... and could you stop when your heart gets in the way?

ISADORA

I planned for three years to destroy the man who covered up my grandmother's death. I changed my name, made myself over, and got close to Marcus Vale-the silver-haired funeral director whose drunk brother killed her. I set up cameras, recorded everything, and was ready to ruin him.

I just didn't plan on how it would feel when he touched me.

I didn't expect his hands on my body to make me forget why I was there. I didn't think his kiss would make me question everything. Every night we spent together, every time he made me come undone in his bed, made my revenge plan harder to follow.

Now I'm caught between justice for my grandmother and the man I never meant to fall for. And when he discovers who I really am, I might lose everything-including him.

MARCUS

From the moment she walked into my funeral home, I couldn't look away. She was supposed to be just another client-a grieving granddaughter. But something about her pulled me in.

When "Zara" came back into my life, I thought it was chance. I didn't know she was hunting my family, using me to get to my brother. I didn't know our nights together were being recorded, that every time I buried myself inside her, every time I whispered my secrets against her skin, she was gathering evidence.

I was falling for a woman who didn't exist. Or did she? Because beneath the lies, I saw something real. I felt it in the way she trembled under my touch, heard it in her cries of pleasure.

Now I have secrets of my own. And when the truth burns everything down, will anything remain but ashes?
