Buried in Embers: A Black Fates Novel

By Christine Roi

Clayton Wrigley saved her life. Then he broke her heart. Now he has a second chance to make Casey Arawn his.

As long as he can keep her alive.

Casey Arawn never asked to be claimed by her estranged father or pulled into Los Angeles' Irish mafia. But blood creates its own rules. Torn from a normal life as a teenager, she grew up in a world filled with power struggles and gunfire. She learned to survive by staying quiet and locking her heart away. This was especially true after the man who once saved her life broke it beyond repair. Now her father's deadliest enemy wants revenge, and Casey is the perfect target in a war she never chose.

Clayton Wrigley is a ghost with a gun and a keyboard. He is an elite hacker and a soldier for hire. Occasionally, he is an annoying jokester who hides sharp edges behind crooked grins. Protecting Casey should be easy: in, out, no attachments. But she is the one woman he never forgot-the regret that keeps him awake at night. Keeping her alive means bringing her into his home, back into his life, and finally facing why she walked away in the first place.

Buried in Embers, the fourth book in Christine Roi's Black Fates series, is a mafia romance for the soft-hearted and battle-scarred. It tells the story of two broken people rising from the ashes of what tried to destroy them and discovering that some flames were meant to burn together.
