Ember Cast

Zusatztext

Emrys Morgan is on his way from San Francisco to Los Angeles when the Palisades and Eaton fires break out. By the time his plane lands, the person he was coming to see -- his father, with a Craftsman house in Altadena -- is gone. But Emrys was coming to discuss his imminent relocation to the Craftsman. There's work to be done, and diving right into it helps him process his grief. Felix Paulo lives across the street from the Craftsman, and was on hand to help when Rhys Morgan went down. Now he wants to help Emrys. They'd only met once before, but Felix thought there was a vibe. Over the next few days, Felix, his siblings, and Emrys make some big changes in little time. The neighbors grow close so quickly, the vibe must go both ways. Can a giant disaster be the spark for a long-burning flame?

Autorenportrait

Alexandra Caluen's first book was a French Revolution historical romance written during graduate school. More recently, she turned to contemporary romance inspired by her work, family, and friend groups. Strong family and friendship ties in the LGBTQ+ community have brought stories into focus that deal with issues of inclusion, representation, and equality. Frequent themes include loss and recovery; reinvention; creative expression; and found family. Since moving cross-country to Los Angeles and learning to dance, Alexandra has enjoyed several life-changing experiences: being a dance extra in a feature film and in a narrative ballet onstage; performing with a USA Dance team in the 2012 Rose Parade; competing at the national level in American-style ballroom; and meeting countless creatives. Alexandra lives in a small purple house with her husband, a bottle of Laphroaig, a lot of books, and nine pairs of ballroom shoes. She works in patent law and reads compulsively.
