ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 28, 2023

From the ashes.
That was my plan from the very beginning.
To rise from the inferno and build something new with Makaylie. She’s everything I never knew I wanted. Everything I thought I didn’t need.

So when her safety is in question because of my very existence, I must protect her. Even if it’s from the men who look up to me as their leader. If they found out about her, the cost would be devastating.
She’s a good girl—I’m nothing but a wounded man with a black heart, keeping my identity from her.

When our different worlds collide, the outcome will be catastrophic—not only for her but for the people we love. The chaos I’ve unleashed will wreak havoc on the streets of Baton Rouge, and no one will be safe.

Not even the sanctity of the Baton Rouge Bachelors can outrun the storm that’s coming.

•••••••••

REVIEW: FROM THE ASHES is the second and final instalment in KE Osborn’s contemporary, adult BATON ROUGE BACHELORS dark, erotic, romance duet. This is the continuing story of Baton Rouge Bachelors second in command, Cain Barrington, and twenty-six year old author, Makaylie Rayne’s story line. FROM THE ASHES and the Baton Rouge Bachelors is a spin off from the author’s NOLA Defiance MC series-several characters cross over for continuity. FROM THE ASHES should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one UP IN FLAMES.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Makaylie and Cain) FROM THE ASHES picks up immediately after the events of book one in which, desperate to protect the woman he loves, Cain pushes Makaylie out of his life but Makaylie refuses to walk away, and in doing so, places herself in the direct line of fire. As the second in command of the Louisiana crime syndicate The Baton Rouge Bachelors, Cain is quickly losing control of his men, and the people under his command including the woman he loves. Makaylie refuses to ‘obey’ our story line hero, and finds herself the target of some powerful men. Often dismissed and rebuffed by the man that she loves, Makaylie walks away but struggle in the wake of the knowledge that all is not as it appears to be. What ensues is the building relationship between Makaylie and Cain, and the fall-out as death and destruction follow in their wake.

The world building continues to focus on the strained relationship between our story line couple, and the secret life of Cain Barrington. Hoping his criminal connections and lifestyle would never touch the woman he loved, Cain would quickly discover betrayal comes at a cost, the lives of the people he loves. The $ex scenes are intimate and aggressive.

The colorful, energetic and often questionable secondary and supporting characters include Makaylie’s best friend Joey, several members of the Baton Rouge Bachelors crime syndicate, as well as the NOLA Defiance MC, and Cain’s right hand man Rodberg. The requisite evil has many faces, yet not everyone will survive.

FROM THE ASHES is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, loss and grief, forgiveness and love. The premise is dark, dramatic and intense; the romance struggles in the face perceived betrayal; the characters are driven, purposeful and dynamic.
