IGNITING ASH
M.A. Stacie
Released Aug 4th, 2015
Limitless Publishing
After a terrible start in life, Asher Harris picks himself up and manages to carve out a fairly decent future. Content with living alone in his bookshop, he shies away from relationships and keeps trust to a minimum.
Emma Carnes hasn’t seen Asher in years, though she’s never forgotten him. Their one interaction as teenagers became pivotal to them both. It gave her a career.
It saved his life.
Emma saw things about Asher that nobody else did. When she urged him to escape a perilous ituation, it turned her toward her purpose in life…and saved Asher. Intrigued by the strong man he’s become, she gently persuades him to open up, but finds his emotional walls hard to climb. She also hopes for his help with a troubled teen, Gabe Dearing, who reminds her very much of Asher himself.
Their relationship and ties to Gabe threaten to reveal things someone wants to keep hidden…
Someone is watching Emma, trying to figure out what she knows, and she soon senses something isn’t right. When the bookshop is vandalized and Gabe disappears, only to return bloody, broken, and refusing to say what happened, Asher and Emma search for the truth as their passion intensifies.
The danger mounts, and Emma and Ash struggle to keep what they’ve fought so hard to gain.
But can he save Emma as she saved him so long ago?
Or will a dark and violent history repeat itself and destroy them all?

She
squealed when he grasped her waist and picked her up. His actions
came as a shock, his strength too. Her protest hovered on the tip of
her tongue, though she never actually said anything. His serious
expression and determined strides were enough to keep her mouth
closed.
Until
he crushed his lips to hers. At that point she knew where it was
heading, understood what he meant when he’d shouted. He was sick of
holding back. Asher was taking what he wanted and ignoring any
possible consequences.
Emma
clung to him, their kisses growing deeper and more forceful as he
carried her to his bedroom. She kept hold of him as he sat on the
edge of his bed, moving her so that she straddled his lap. They’d
been here before, only this time the air was electrified, sparks
bursting from their touches. He wasn’t going to deny them this
time. She could sense from his heated kisses and desperate touches
that he was all in.
She
blinked, her head spinning when he grabbed her loose T-shirt and
pulled it over her head.
He
tossed it, not caring to look where it landed. Asher drank her in,
his chocolate eyes melting as they perused her chest.
A
fire ignited low in her belly, her blood burning through her veins.
She’d experienced lust before, however this with Asher was laced
with something else. Something deeper.
Slowly,
too slowly, he stroked a single finger over the swell of her breast.
Her nipples tightened as she silently begged for him to cup them. Her
will was enough, because those amazing fingers dipped under the lace
of her bra before palming her breast. His eyes never left hers. His
touch grew firmer, more demanding. “More,” she whispered. “Asher,
more.”
He
kissed her long and hard. At the same time she began unbuttoning his
shirt, her fingers fumbling so much Asher ended up finishing the job
for her. He didn’t stop with his shirt. After rolling her onto his
bed, he stood and shucked off his jeans, sliding them down his legs
before kicking them across the room. “No more barriers,” he
rasped and pulled his underwear off too. His scars were exposed to
her, the skin pink and puckered near his navel. There really were no
barriers.
Still
expecting him to back out, Emma held a bit of herself back. The
rejection would sting a little less if she did. However, that became
difficult when he hovered over her, pressing his body against hers.
His eyes were hooded, and she could feel the heavy thump of his heart
when she touched his chest. Hers was as rapid, the thrill of
possibility surging in every cell. The connection with Asher was
strong, very strong, and much more consuming than anything she’d
ever felt before.
M. A. Stacie is never without a book or her eReader. A voracious reader, with a love of sexy, yet angst ridden novels, she loves getting lost in new worlds. Her need to write did not grip her until after her second son was born, when her previous rambles became fully fledged stories.
She describes herself as one huge contradiction, and though not the most conventional of hobbies, she counts getting new tattoos as one of hers. Along with running, knitting, and listening to loud music. However, she is yet to work out how to do them all at the same time.
