1890. Two women. Two pasts. One desert that refuses to let either of them go.

Told in dual POV, When Embers Find Her, follows both Charlotte’s desperate search for freedom and Sawyer’s struggle with the past she thought she’d buried. As Charlotte discovers her own strength in the ashes of who she used to be, Sawyer fights to return to the woman she never meant to leave behind. When their paths collide again, it’s not just love waiting to ignite— it’s the reckoning.

Charlotte Grace:
Charlotte Grace Windsor has spent her whole life being told what she should be. Obedient, quiet, soft. Afterall, soft women bruise easier under a man’s thumb. But after surviving years of cruelty, starvation, and the slow suffocation of being owned by men, Charlotte finds herself standing on the edge of her own ending, ready to let the desert swallow her whole. Until Sawyer Hayes finds her and crashes into her life like a lightning strike.

Sawyer:
Sawyer Hayes, a woman forged in solitude and strength, pulls Charlotte from the claws of death and shows her a world where a woman chooses her fate. With a heart she pretends is long dead, Sawyer becomes the first person to see Charlotte as more than fragile. More than a victim. Sawyer has no business rescuing anybody, but the desert knows fire when it sees it. And something in Charlotte burns.

But just when Charlotte begins to believe in that fire, Sawyer disappears, leaving nothing but a note behind. Left alone again, Charlotte is forced to face the darkest parts of the frontier, of the cruelty of others, and of her own mind. And she’s not prepared for what the truth will cost—or what it will reignite.
Because when embers find each other, they don’t settle.
They burn.
