Rock is the ripped, handsome Sergeant-At-Arms for the Insurgents MC. Being one of the club's officers, women clamor to share his bed. The biker's more than willing to oblige as long as it's a short-time hookup; long-term relationship is not part of his vocabulary. He's only been in love once-a long time ago-and the end result was shattering. He learned his lesson: keep his heart encased in steel. The tragic night that sent him to prison is over even though it still simmers inside him. But once he joined the Insurgents MC, he vowed to leave the past darkness and disappointments back in Louisiana. He's embraced his new life of brotherhood, booze, easy women, and Harleys. It suits him just fine. Some things are best left alone, especially a pretty brunette who destroyed his heart. Easy sex has become his mantra. Until his past crashes into his life.... Clotille Boucher is the wealthy, spoiled girl who'd stolen Rock's heart many years ago.

Deciding to make a new life for herself, she didn't count on having to pay for the sins of her brother. Just when her life doesn't seem like it could get worse, a face from her past gives her a glimmer of hope. Shamed that Rock has to see how far she's fallen, she pretends her life is exactly what she wants, but his penetrating stare tells her he's not buying her act. Fearful that the secrets of the past will catch up with her and Rock, her inclination is to do what she does best-run away. Only problem is, Rock's not letting her slip away so easily this time. Can two damaged people learn to trust one another again? Will Rock be able to reconcile the demons that have plagued him since that tragic night? Does Clotille offer him redemption or destruction?

Amazon Reviewer "I couldn't wait to escape into When Ash Rains Down every time I picked it up." Amazon Reviewer "A fascinating first book in a series..." Amazon Reviewer When Ash Rains Down is a story of hardship and hope. Cecelia Earl brings humanity to this fantasy tale. Julia isn't perfect by any means, but her striving, her misguidance, and her willingness to give up everything for her family is easy to relate to. When Ash Rains Down is surreal, idealistic, and full of heart, with a moral tale at the center, but also has a balanced side of loss, struggle, and tragedy. It's fast paced, and follows a small portion of Julia's life, but in a way that feels like just the beginning of her story. It almost has a metaphorical tone with what is happening in Julia's life and then the coinciding apocalyptic angels versus demons battle. When her father left, he took away her happiness and her faith. She was taught about angels singing and praying at night, but his leaving took that from her. She goes from this carefree spirit as a child to a determined and materially-driven person, who is then thrown into a higher power of the world. There's a good lesson in Julia's arc.
