When We Ignite Alternate Cover: Book One

Ash Langley has everything—wealth, status, and the crushing weight of a legacy he never asked for. Trapped beneath the thumb of a controlling father and watching his younger brother tie himself to the influential Bennett family, Ash leads a life of polished perfection. But beneath the surface, he is starving for something real. Enter Ethan Bennett, a man delicately trying to navigate his own growing independence. Ethan has spent his life keeping his true self tucked away, moving through the world with a quiet reserve that shields him from the intensity he fears. Yet, when he crosses paths with Ash, the carefully constructed walls around his heart begin to tremor. Their attraction is an immediate, catastrophic collision of worlds. Despite a significant age gap and the devastating social fallout that would surely follow, Ash and Ethan find themselves pulled into each other’s orbit. For Ash, Ethan represents a rare chance at liberation; for Ethan, Ash is the sudden, terrifying blaze that forces him to finally acknowledge his own desires. In a high-stakes game of secrets and stolen glances, they must decide if their forbidden connection is worth the inevitable fire that threatens to burn their entire lives to ash.
