Phoenix Murray has had enough. Enough of her incompetent boss. Enough of her addict father always asking for money. Enough of the struggle to survive. So when her aunt offers her a job as a cook at the South Pole, she jumps at it. Even when shes asked to avoid casual sex to keep the peace in the tiny community. Astrophysicist Ashley Bennett cant wait for her year at the South Pole. Not only will it allow her to focus on her PhD research, its a key step in her plan to become a Mars colonist. Avoiding the complications of dating in a society that doesn't understand asexuality is a bonus. When Phoenix and Ash meet, they cant help but push each others buttons. Phoenix doesnt understand that her confident sexuality puts Ash on edge while Ashs curt formality triggers Phoenixs insecurities about her upbringing. But living at the bottom of the world means theres nowhere to run, and as they find common ground, their differences arent nearly the hindrance they thought. Rising From Ash is the first book in the Forged by Fire series, a slow burn contemporary lesbian romance that shows the power of intimacy to form a new life.Note: While Rising from Ash features a character on the asexual spectrum, the story does include physically intimate scenes. However, none are gratuitous.
