Nine years ago, Calliope Zhang leaves Del Rio with a broken heart, a dead father, and one certainty she refuses to question: Isaias Escobar chose another woman over her.
Now twenty-eight, Calliope is a respected forensic structural engineer in Calgary, far from the salvage yard, motorcycle club, and man who taught her how badly love can hurt. But when her mother decides to sell the family property, Calliope has no choice but to return to Texas and finish the structural assessment herself.
Waiting at the yard is Isaias “Ash” Escobar.
He is no longer the twenty-two-year-old biker who let her walk away. At thirty-one, he is president of the Cendrillon Riders MC, a dangerous, controlled man with a thriving chrome business, an eight-year-old son, and nine years of regrets he has never managed to bury.
Calliope wants signatures, records, and a clean sale.
Isaias wants the chance to tell her what really happened.
Being forced into the same rooms is bad enough. Discovering that the attraction between them survived everything is worse. Every argument brings them closer. Every old memory raises another question. And the woman Calliope believed Isaias chose over her is still connected to his life in ways Calliope cannot ignore.
But desire is not forgiveness.
If Isaias wants a second chance, he will have to do more than prove he still loves her. He must face the damage his choices caused, surrender the control that cost him Calliope once before, and risk everything he built while she was gone.
Ashes and Chrome is a steamy MC biker second-chance romance packed with other-woman drama, forced proximity, old betrayal, possessive chemistry, club loyalty, and a heroine who refuses to accept love without the truth.
If you crave wounded ex-lovers, dangerous bikers, hard-earned groveling, and a second chance that has to be earned, open Ashes and Chrome and ride straight into the fire.
