Ashes to New Read online

  Enough!

  Up ahead, the coffee house beckoned. Skye quickened her steps. Her breath coalesced in the frigid air and drifted away in the swirl of a passing breeze, disintegrating, like her relationship and the future it had promised.

  The small coffee shop had been her refuge during a grueling residency and still was today. It was a place where she had gathered with a small group of fellow residents who were coffee lovers. Leading up to their board exams, they’d crammed everything they needed to know about medicine while indulging in their favorite addiction—caffeine. With her residency finished, she still stopped in every day to get her favorite piping hot beverage.

  Of course, she’d met Spencer there, too.

  Maybe she needed new dreams and a new future?

  About the Author

  ELLIE MASTERS is a multi-genre and best-selling author, writing the stories she loves to read. These are dark erotic tales. Or maybe, sweet contemporary stories. How about a romantic thriller to whet your appetite? Ellie writes it all. Want to read passionate poems and sensual secrets? She does that, too. Dip into the eclectic mind of Ellie Masters, spend time exploring the sensual realm where she breathes life into her characters and brings them from her mind to the page and into the heart of her readers every day.

  Ellie Masters has been exploring the worlds of romance, dark erotica, science fiction, and fantasy by writing the stories she wants to read. When not writing, Ellie can be found outside, where her passion for all things outdoor reigns supreme: off-roading, riding ATVs, scuba diving, hiking, and breathing fresh air are top on her list.

  She has lived all over the United States—east, west, north, south and central—but grew up under the Hawaiian sun. She’s also been privileged to have lived overseas, experiencing other cultures and making lifelong friends. Now, Ellie is proud to call herself a Southern transplant, learning to say y’all and “bless her heart” with the best of them. She lives with her beloved husband, two children who refuse to flee the nest, and four fur-babies; three cats who rule the household, and a dog who wants nothing other than for the cats to be his best friends. The cats have a different opinion regarding this matter.

  Ellie’s favorite way to spend an evening is curled up on a couch, laptop in place, watching a fire, drinking a good wine, and bringing forth all the characters from her mind to the page and hopefully into the hearts of her readers.

  Acknowledgments

  This book wouldn’t have been possible without the tireless work of my critique team. I couldn’t have done this without their help. I would like to thank my critique group at CritiqueCircle.com who ripped and shredded and helped me to make Ashes to New: an Angel Fire Rock Romance novella something I can be proud to introduce to the world. I have learned and continue to learn with every word, every phrase, sentence, and chapter from my critique group.

  To my Beta readers, Shea Moran, Jennifer Hanna Guffey, and Melissa Elver, thank you for taking a peek at this and smoothing off the last rough edges before Ashes to New hit the world. It means the world to me to have you be a part of my team.

  I’d also like to thank my editor, Jovana Shirley. She graciously accepted a tight deadline and worked tirelessly to dress up my baby for its first tentative steps into the world. There aren’t enough words. Thank you!
