Ashes & Desire (Marked by Ruin Book 1)

When the world went dark, Tessa Calder lost everything.

Home. Family. Safety.

Now she survives by instinct, grit, and the memory of fire.

But one reckless decision leads her to a group of ruthless survivors: five dangerously magnetic men who might be her salvation… or her ruin.

They have shelter. They have supplies. And now… they have her.

In a world built on ash and betrayal, desire is a weapon. And trusting the wrong person could get her killed, especially when someone who betrayed her once is back… and might do it again.

Ashes & Desire is a dark dystopian, why choose, romance full of survival, heat, and enemies-to-lovers tension.

Perfect for fans of post-apocalyptic romance, high-stakes survival, and multiple love interests who cross swords.

If you love found family, fierce heroines, and morally gray men who would burn the world to protect her, this series is for you.
