Ashes to Ashes

I had it all, or so I thought. Until my husband betrayed me and my entire world came crashing down. I turned to alcohol and sex to numb my pain—a different city each night, a new man in my bed. But I'm sober now, and I'm working my way back up the country music charts. But then the death threats started and I needed protection. When my new bodyguard walked in the room, I couldn't believe my eyes: the one man from my long spiral down who I never forgot. The one who played my body like an instrument. Now we're on the run from a madman and all I want is to forget about everything. To pretend this isn't my life. To lose myself in him. So I let him take control. I tried telling myself it was only sex, but I've done the unthinkable: I've fallen in love with a man who can never love me back. Because Ash has demons of his own—ones he never talks about and never will. I know I should walk away before it's too late. But I'm an addict, and I need him. How do you give up the best thing you ever had, even when it's bad for you? How do you walk away from a man like Ash Devereaux?
