Smoke & Heaven: A Sainted Shame Series

By CN Eden

Ari Ward is not a fan. She is a twenty-four-year-old woman from Lansing, Michigan, who goes to a concert for her sick sister and accidentally catches the eye of the most private man in glam rock.

Tristan Elias Ford does not do real. He does performances. Then he meets Ari backstage, and everything he has been faking starts to fall apart.

Set during the summer of 1985, Smoke and Heaven is a love story wrapped in a rock tour. From Detroit to Pittsburgh to a diner in Boston at two in the morning, Ari and Tristan build something honest in a world that runs on lies. But the spotlight does not protect anyone.

A fake girlfriend with a vendetta. A label that trades in image. Tabloids hungry for scandal. And a band tearing itself apart from the inside. Ari has to decide if the man behind the music is worth the cost of being seen.

Smoke and Heaven is the first book in the Sainted Shame series.
