I had it all, or so I thought. Until my husband betrayed me and my entire world came crashing down. I turned to alcohol and sex to numb my painâa different city each night, a new man in my bed. But Iâm sober now, and Iâm working my way back up the country music charts.
But then the death threats started and I needed protection. When my new bodyguard walked in the room, I couldnât believe my eyes: the one man from my long spiral down who I never forgot. The one who played my body like an instrument.
Now weâre on the run from a madman and all I want is to forget about everything. To pretend this isnât my life. To lose myself in him. So I let him take control.
I tried telling myself it was only sex, but I've done the unthinkable: I've fallen in love with a man who can never love me back. Because Ash has demons of his ownâones he never talks about and never will. I know I should walk away before itâs too late. But I'm an addict, and I need him.
How do you give up something you love, even when you know itâs bad for you? How do you walk away from a man like Ash Devereaux?

Title: Of Smoke & Cinnamon: A Christmas Story
Author: Ace Gray
Genre: Holiday Second Chance Romance
Release Date: December 13, 2017
Blurb
Camilla Collins hasn't gone home in thirteen years. As much as she loves her family, their tiny hometown in the folds of the Colorado mountains holds too many memories. Memories of a life barely lived and a love barely realized. No matter how she thrives, AJ Jenkins is the man she compares all others too. He just so happens to be the one that broke her heart. Seeing him, seeing the life she might have had with him, has been a very convincing reason to celebrate the holidays in the Pacific Northwest, happy in the rain instead of the snow.
AJ Jenkins isn't exactly bitter and frigid. It's the below freezing temperatures, the knee deep snow, and the death of his chronically ill father dragging him down. That is until Cam Collins finally comes home for Christmas. After thirteen years, he'd almost given up on seeing her. And was incredibly happy about it. But thirteen is unlucky for a reason, and apparently that reason is still a klutzy, gorgeous, living memory determined to poke holes in his barely hanging on heart with death defying stilettos.
Excerpt
Barely behind me, Cam is bent over the pool table, angling at a difficult shot. Those painted on jeans accentuate curves I donât remember her having. Curves I want to paw. Then thereâs the mysterious tattoo. It cuts across cream colored skin and I want to lick itâlick herâdespite everything between us.
To make matters worse, she makes the near-impossible shot. The Cam Collins I know is three things: uncoordinated, callous and the worldâs worst pool player. Iâd had to help her with every shot she ever took, my body wrapped completely around hers, my hands guiding her every movement. Almost every time sheâd look over at me rather than the ball.
But sheâs well on her way to running the table.
How long has she had these skills? Did she develop them because I wasnât there? My heart twists at the thought.
Or, worse, could she always do this, her mind so accustomed to angles and trajectories, but wanted my hands on her?
Fuck.
I donât know why Iâve thought of the possibility, but itâs the most dangerous one yet because it sucks me back to that warm summer night when weâd played the best game of pool of my life. Iâd helped her with each shot. Sheâd wiggled her ass up against my crotch too many times to count. Just when I thought I was going to have to take her home then jerk off, sheâd grabbed my hand and pulled me out to the 13th green behind Molly Merithewâs house.
Crickets chirped, punctuating her labored breathing. There was the slightest warm breeze tickling my skin. I never asked if it was the breeze or me that peaked her nipples when she shimmied out of her white eyelet linen top. I couldnât really ask anything as Cam stripped naked behind the willow trees and let me have her for the first time, bathed in moonlight. When we snuggled under the stars she wore nothing but my flannel.
I never got that shirt back. Iâd sworn off anything remotely related to vanilla, tooâthatâs what Cam tasted like.
Shit.
Thatâs what the hidden taste in the bourbon was.
Fuck pool. Fuck this delicious bourbon. And fuck Cam Collins.

But to him, I've always been off-limits. Until the night that changed everything. Maybe it was the alcohol. Maybe it was the secrets we shared. Maybe he finally opened his eyes and saw me.

Ran until I was thousands of miles away, in a country I didn't know, surrounded by people who only made me miss him more. I never expected him to follow me ⦠or to pry more secrets from my soul. In exchange, he gave me more of his secrets too. The more he let me into his heart, the more I loved him, but Iâm afraid that some secrets may be too big to overcome.

Excerpt
I was going to throw up from the nerves.
No, I told myself. No throwing up. Not when youâre expecting Sam to come into your room any second.
But the feeling was so strong. I popped a mint from my bedside table in my mouth, rolled it around my tongue a few times, but the urge was still there.
Oh, shit. Was this a mistake? Was inviting Sam into my room a big fat problem? I was leaving for America tomorrow.
The printed itinerary, neatly stacked on my chest of drawers laughed at me. What was I going to do? I couldnât let Sam come up here.
My hands fisted in my hair as I berated myself for telling him to come. What was I thinking? I wasnât some sexual nymph, skilled in the way Sam surely was. I wasnât a virgin, but I hadnât actually messed around with a bunch of guys.
I didnât know what to do.
I walked to the door, pressed my palm flat to it. Iâd lock it. Then he couldnât come in. Heâd walk away, and weâd forget this ever happened.
Look how well that happened the last time you kissed him, my memory taunted me. Three years later, and youâre still wondering âwhat if.â
There was no reasonable escape from this situation. And, if there was, there was no escape that would make me not obsess over the âwhat if.â
Itâd be okay, I told myself. Of course it would. Sex was nothing, right?
But I didnât even believe my own thoughts. My nerves battled with my own desire. I couldnât process a single thing.
I ran my fingers over my eyebrows or, what was left of them that wasnât colored in, at least. Iâd pulled so many out in the days leading up to the trip, needing some control over this impending trip.
I trailed my fingers to the sides of my face, tugging on my earlobes to ground me, and then, in tandem, I pulled out a hair with each hand. The immediate relief was nearly as intoxicating as the alcohol Iâd consume in how it numbed my fears.
It would be okay.
I took in a cleansing breath, looking around my room for anything potentially embarrassing.
The blinds were open, so I closed them, leaving my room in soft, muted grays aside from the yellow lamp that lit up my dressing table.
My hand was on the back of the lamp to turn it off when my door creaked open.
Sam stood in the threshold, nearly taking up the entire space.
I switched the light off.
It was only a few loud heartbeats before he said, âTurn it back on.â
I hesitated.
I couldnât see him, but I heard the creak on the floor by the door. âTurn it on, Lotte.â
Swallowing hard, I did.
The room was illuminated again in soft light, casting shadows into the angles of Samâs faceâmaking him look exactly as he was: dangerous.

Damn me for what Iâve done,
Hate me for the lie.
Let the web weave and thread,
But donât let what we have die.
I know it in my blood,
Sheâs mine to keep and hold.
Iâll stop fighting only once,
When Iâm dead and cold.
The piles of dirt are getting larger. The metal shovels pierce the frozen soil. The sound cuts through my bones, one and then another and another.
Itâs been constant as I stand here, helpless. Iâve never been colder, the wind and bitter snow beseiging my body, but I still donât move.
I canât take my eyes from the two graves.
The shovels spill the dirt, the piles mounting as my eyes drift to the tombstones.
The first my father, a man who died before his time. A death of tragedy.
And then to my wifeâs. My loveâs. Gone before her time. No one believes me. He put her there. James killed her.
My eyes pop open wide when I hear Kat whisper, âItâs all your fault.â
I wake up breathless, my heart pounding and I swear I can feel Katâs hot breath on my neck even though Iâm alone. My eyes dart around the room as I slowly lift my body into a sitting position on the bed.
Just a terror. The same as last night.
Iâm quick to grab the video monitor for the security system from the nightstand and flick the button on to bring it to life. I had it installed after the break-in.
Itâs only when I see Kat in our bed, that my heart starts to calm, and my heated skin seems to succumb to the chill of reality.
Sheâs okay.
I close my eyes and when I open them, itâs an image of her rolling over in bed. To my side. My fingers brush the glass where she is. Iâll be there soon. Iâll be with her and itâll all be over. I wonât let her down.
