Mirrors and Smokes

I was desperate for peace. A clean slate. But fate handed me Aiden Ashbourne instead—twisted, intoxicating, and far too dangerous. One murder dragged me into his world, and now I’m tangled in a game I never agreed to play. He watches me like he owns every secret I’ve buried, like he’s waiting for me to remember what I’ve forgotten. Because I did forget something—something that could ruin us all.

He’s not just my protector. He’s my shadow.

And he’ll either keep me alive…

Or be the reason I burn.

Because Aiden Ashbourne doesn’t love.

He consumes.
