Book Blurb
Their love was born in silence, shaped by survival, and tested by time.
Trapped inside a brutal cult led by his own father, Ash learns early on that hope is dangerous and the outside world is doomed to die. Until charismatic Johnny and his mother join the commune and a few words from Johnny shatters Ash’s fragile beliefs, opening his mind to the possibility of a future out there beyond the woods of Chol commune with Johnny at his side.
From the moment Johnny sees the beautiful cult’s leader’s son, he’s annoyed by Ash’s arrogance and ridiculous beliefs in solar aliens. Yet, something in Ash’s silver eyes touches him deeply and he feels the need to protect him from their day to day madness. Slowly, Johnny teaches the neglected and abused Ash what tenderness means. But when a raid on the cult tears them apart, they both carry their first love like a wound they could never heal.
Years later, in the fragile calm of a new life, Ash musters the courage to find Johnny again. Desire reignites between them, but though Johnny’s heart still burns hotter than the sun for Ash, he keeps him at bay, wanting to protect him from the secret police operation he’s been collaborating on. Pulled apart by a brutal history but held together by an even fiercer love, Johnny and Ash have to face what nearly broke them years ago and this time they’re doing it together.
