From Ashes — Elise Faber

Gabby has a secret. A secret that might get her kicked out of the only true home she's ever known.

When her powers malfunction and bring her into direct conflict with Mason - a widowed LexTal warrior who makes her heart pound and her legs weak - she scrambles to hold onto her carefully constructed world.

Mason's wounded past keeps him from getting close to anyone but he can't resist Gabby. There's an essence about her his soul can't ignore no matter how much his mind protests.

Her secret threatens to tear Gabby and Mason apart before they've even begun to explore the draw between them. But with the unprecedented hold she has on Mason's heart and magic, how can he bear to let her go?
