Ashes and Skin

She spent years silencing her needs. Now, she’s learning to listen. Bella’s life is unraveling—or maybe finally beginning. Trapped in a marriage defined by control, silence, and emotional and physical neglect, she’s forgotten what it means to be desired—until Nate walks back into her life. What begins as a chance reconnection becomes a slow unraveling of everything she had been taught to suppress. With every touch, Nate reminds her who she used to be—and who she still could be. But healing isn’t easy, and Bella must let go of the version of herself she created to survive in order to reclaim the one who’s ready to live. Ashes and Skin is a story of sensual rediscovery, emotional reckoning, and the courage it takes to reclaim the pieces of yourself you once believed were gone.
