He Bakes, She Burns, They Turn To Ash

📖 Story Description

Dax Maddox isn’t your typical bakery owner.
Six-foot-three, tattooed, scarred from fire and flour, he built Ash & Honey from the ground up with sweat, sugar, and scars. His pastries are addictive, his body stronger than the ovens he works, and his smile? A temptation wrapped in warmth.

Selene Voss doesn’t do warmth.
CEO of a luxury empire, she rules with silence, precision, and steel-grey eyes that see everything. Reserved, cunning, and obsessive, she doesn’t just want Dax’s pastries—she wants him. And Selene Voss never takes a taste. She devours.

When Selene secretly props up Dax’s struggling bakery—new ovens, viral orders, gifts he never asked for—she only plans to watch. To study. To hunger. But hunger turns to obsession, and obsession turns to fire when Dax finally bares his teeth.

What begins with flour and heat becomes a game of dominance and devotion. Sticky notes, stolen touches, midnight confessions… until Dax snaps and claims her in front of the world.

But Selene isn’t a woman easily claimed. She’s a queen.
And together, they’ll burn so hot—
they’ll turn to ash.
