Embers in the Pines

By C.S. Hart

For years, it was just trips.
Shared weekends. Stolen stretches of time.
An exploration of what love might look like if no one was afraid of it.

But eventually, every question leads to one that matters more:

What if we stopped visiting each other's lives... and built one together?

Kallie and her husband began this journey rooted in tradition.
Lana and Jake built theirs on freedom and openness.
Somewhere along the way, devotion and independence stopped competing and started intertwining.

Set in the forests of Oregon, Embers in the Pines is a deeply emotional, high-heat contemporary romance about four adults choosing permanence without surrendering passion. As an estate takes shape and a shared future moves from dream to reality, they discover that love does not have to be divided to grow.

It expands.

This is the final book in the Firelight & Footprints series. It can be read as a standalone, but long time readers will find the satisfying culmination of a journey that began with curiosity and ends with commitment. A story about chosen family, honest communication, sensual connection, and the courage to build a life that doesn't follow anyone else's rules.

For readers who believe love can evolve without breaking, and who know that sometimes the bravest adventure is staying.
