San Antonio, Texas - Present Day

Ashland Finn had just about given up on finding the right man when she meets her new neighbor, Damon Wayland.  Helping him pick up the stuff from a moving box he dropped reveals that Damon may be into the BDSM lifestyle, and Ash is willing to bet that he’s not a sub.  On their first date Ash knows that she is right about Damon’s preferences, but he also draws back from her before things go too far.  She’s beginning to think that Damon may be The One, but from the way he’s acting, she can’t help but wonder if he feels anything for her at all.

Being a Dominant was always Damon’s way of relieving stress, but after serving a tour in Iraq, he no longer feels comfortable with the way of life.  Seeing the pain and suffering that people went through while in Iraq has made it impossible for him to inflict pain on others, even in a consensual situation.  As much as he’d like to get to know Ash - in every way - any time his dominant side takes over, Damon gets flashbacks of the horrors he saw in Iraq and he has a hard time finishing what he started.  If he wants a future with Ash, Damon knows that he’ll have to get past his fears, but will he be able to resume his former life?

RISEN FROM ASH is an emotional and erotic tale.  Damon never questioned his sexual preferences until witnessing the results of torture in Iraq.  Now, he gets flashbacks and migraines when he starts to lose control during sex.  Ash feels the need to let go in her personal life because of the amount of responsibility she deals with in her professional life, but she has never felt comfortable with any of the Dominant’s she’s met.  Until she meets Damon.  She’s not sure what he’s dealing with, but if he manages to fight off his demons, Ash knows that something special could develop between them.

A riveting story, RISEN FROM ASH is one you won’t want to miss.
