An Ordinary Girl — Barbara Elsborg

Ash is an ordinary girl, leading an ordinary life, but behind her smile she hides a secret so damning she's sure no one could ever love her.

Noah is a war photographer who's come back from Afghanistan with a secret so dark he can't escape its smothering grip.

Both need redemption. Ash looks for it by making people happy. Noah seeks it under the whip of a Dom. They're damaged souls, drowning in guilt, unable to escape the legacies of their pasts. Then their worlds collide in an explosion of fireworks so strong it singes not only them, but those around them. It's said love heals all wounds, but sometimes before love enters the heart, the intense fire of passion has to burn a path, lighting the way.
