Deep in the misty Smoky Mountains, ancient magic stirs and destinies intertwine.
Ember Whitmore has always felt a deep connection to the forests she studies as a conservation biologist. But when she nearly dies in an abandoned mine, she awakens latent supernatural abilities – and a mystical debt to the mountain itself. Now Ember must navigate a world of fiery powers, spirit guides, and an unwelcome prophecy about her destined mate.
Ashton Pyne was born into a legacy of wealth and destruction as heir to a coal mining empire. Torn between family loyalty and his true calling as a protector of the land, Ash struggles to chart his own course. His dragon shifter heritage only complicates matters further.
As threats to the mountain intensify, Ember and Ash find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other. But embracing their connection means confronting painful pasts, uncertain futures, and the simmering tensions between preservation and progress that threaten to tear their world apart.
With steamy romance, richly-imagined fantasy elements, and high-stakes environmental drama, this trilogy offers a fresh twist on fated mates in a contemporary Appalachian setting. Readers will be swept away by the magic, mystery and passion as Ember and Ash fight for their love – and the future of the land they both cherish.

She’s the ember that started the fire.
He’s the ash that remains when all is dead.
When Emberly, a field biologist with a connection to the spirit world, returns to her hometown for her dream job, she thinks she’s prepared to defend her home and confront her destiny. But she’s not prepared for Ashton: the man she must marry to uphold the bargain she made for her life. And no amount of chastising from her ghost twin is going to change her mind.
Ashton, the handsome, reluctant heir to the mining empire that killed Emberly’s grandfather, wants nothing to do with his family legacy. But when his father announces plans to resume mining operations, his only hope at protecting the mountain is to work with the woman he fell in love with at first sight—and who can’t stand to look at him.
Forced into a fake relationship to keep the circumstances of their magically arranged marriage—and the supernatural salamanders—a secret, their annoyance with each other is only heightened by their mutual attraction. But there’s only so long they can avoid fate.
Fire Called is the first in a new contemporary romantasy trilogy. If you like steamy romances, hearing ghost stories around the campfire, and finding magic in so-called ‘mundane’ places, this one’s for you.
