Vivienne R. Hart

Across worlds scarred by fire, shadow, and desire, seven stories of love take shape each fueled by passion, danger, and defiance. On the wild frontier, a forbidden affair threatens to undo a woman’s hard-won place in a ruthless land. Beneath a ruined city, two survivors cling to each other as the sky burns red above them. A star running back meets the one woman who could upend both his heart and his career. In a world steeped in temptation, a powerful man learns that control means nothing under the touch of the one he can’t have. When a scholar and a warlord are trapped behind a curtain of ash, rivalry gives way to heat as loyalties crumble. A ghost’s kiss crosses the divide between life and death, daring two souls to reach for what can’t last. And among the embers of betrayal, one woman discovers that secrets can burn brighter than truth. From ancient kingdoms to modern ruin, love endures where nothing else survives. When the world falls to ash, will love be the last thing left standing?
