When the leaves turn crimson and the nights grow colder, secrets burn hotter than firelight... Ember Vale swore she'd never fall again. A bartender with a past as sharp as broken glass, she knows how to keep her walls high and her drinks stronger. But when Rowan Ashford-the man she loved, and the man who betrayed her-walks back into her bar under the glow of harvest lanterns, sparks reignite where embers never truly died. Between whispered confessions, stolen touches, and cocktails laced with temptation, Ember and Rowan are drawn into a season of desire they can't escape. Each chapter brings them closer-to the truth, to the danger threatening the orchard town they both call home, and to a love too strong to ignore. From crisp apple margaritas to smoky maple manhattans, every drink stirs more than spirits. Passion flares in firelit cabins, secrets unravel under harvest moons, and love proves it can survive frost, flame, and fractured trust.
