Ash and Flames: An Oregon Coast Romance (Book One)

The fog rolling off the Oregon coast hides more than just jagged cliffs and towering pines. For Elena, a former baseball star seeking refuge from the limelight, the small town of Oakhaven promises a quiet life. She expects solitude, but she finds something far more haunting in the historic manor she calls home. Ash is a presence she can feel in the shifting shadows—a spirit tethered to a bygone era of elegance and longing. As Elena uncovers the history of the house, the boundary between the living and the past begins to blur. She soon discovers that the heart knows no limits, not even those of time. What begins as a mystery evolves into an unexpected, ethereal connection that challenges everything she thought she knew about love. This is a story of slow-burning discovery, where the intensity of a Regency-era ghost meets the grounded, modern reality of a woman finding herself on the diamond and in the woods. With the perfect blend of atmospheric tension, quiet intimacy, and the lush beauty of the Pacific Northwest, this romance is a testament to the idea that some souls are destined to find each other, no matter the century.
