Ash and Aftermath: The Second Novel in the Lowlight Duet

Amanda thought she had buried her past.

Years ago, she fled an abusive marriage, changed her identity, and built a new life centered on one thing: protecting the daughter she fought to keep. At Lowlight, surrounded by friends who became family, she finally found safety, stability, and a future worth believing in.

Then Ryan appears.

A glimpse across a crowded club is enough to shatter the peace Amanda worked so hard to build. He doesn’t threaten. He doesn’t speak. He simply watches—and Amanda knows exactly what that means. Ryan has found her. Again.
As Ryan’s shadow creeps closer, Amanda is forced to confront the nightmare she escaped. But this time, she isn’t alone. Mark, the man who quietly stole her heart, and Jackson, the fiercely protective investigator determined to uncover the truth, refuse to let her face the danger on her own. Together, they’re prepared to do whatever it takes to keep Amanda and her daughter safe.

Because some monsters never stop hunting.

And some women finally learn how to fight back.

Ash and Aftermath is a tense, emotionally charged romantic suspense novel about survival, found family, healing after trauma, and discovering that the strongest thing you can do is stop running. It is intended for mature audiences. Reader discretion is advised.
