“A top must read for 2022”
—Samantha Young, New York Times bestselling author
Falling Embers, an all-new must read moving romance from Catherine Cowles, is available now!
I’ve loved Calder Cruz from the moment he taught me how to fly. Racing down a mountain and giving me the release I so desperately needed. My understanding. My safe space.
Hadley has fought for a life of her own ever since her sister’s kidnapping. When she was drowning in expectations and family pressures, Calder was always the one who understood her.
Until one night changed it all. From best friends to strangers in a single breath.
She’s like a fire that lives inside me. Even when I thought it was all burned out, there were still embers that lived in my bones.
Calder knows what it’s like to almost lose the people he loves most. He’ll never make that kind of mistake again. Working at the fire station and taking care of his daughters are the only things he needs.
All it takes is a single moment to make him realize how wrong he is. A split second of coming close to losing the woman he has always loved.
But as long-buried embers light anew, there are those who lurk in the shadows. And they’ll do whatever it takes to extinguish that flame for good…
Fall in love today!

Excerpt
Heat flared to life in Hadley’s eyes, a mix of anger and frustration. She whipped her shirt over her head, leaving her in nothing but a pale pink lacy bra. I wasn’t blind. I knew that Hadley had curves, that she was beautiful, but the sight in front of me had my mouth going dry. I fought the urge to lean in closer.
“Cat got your tongue?”
I scowled at Hadley through the mirror. “Took me by surprise is all.”
“Sure.”
I returned my focus to her back, cleaning each scrape meticulously. “Hold your shirt to your chest?”
“Too much boobage on display for you?”
I chuckled, the sound a little rougher than normal. “I need to unhook your bra. That might be too much boobage for you.”
Hadley rolled her eyes but held her t-shirt to her chest, keeping her bra in place. I unhooked the little tines, letting it fall open. I cleaned the rest of the gashes and moved for the antibiotic ointment. As gently as possible I spread it over the worst of her scrapes.
Hadley trembled slightly.
“Did that hurt?”
“No, I’m fine.”
But her breathing was more shallow than usual. Her gaze focused on the counter in front of her. Apparently I wasn’t the only one affected.
REVIEW:
This book has of all. Love, friendship, heartbreak, suspense and all the feels you could ask for. Calder and Hadley have been in each other's lives since they were teenagers. They were friends and co-workers, but they both wanted more; they just didn't think they could over the hurdle of the past. Sometimes, scars open and heal, just to be cracked wide open again, and that I'd exactly what happens in this heartfelt, poignant second chance romance.
I loved this book and appreciated how each character admitted their faults, promised to do better and stuck to their word. Calder had a lot of baggage, due to his twin girl's mom. That story had my heart breaking for the girls. Hadley hid a lot from everyone, mainly because of how her mom treated her. After a tragedy in their family, her mom never got the help she so desperately needed.
Hadley had so much happen to her throughout this book, and I may have ugly cried a few times. Once Calder was in, he was all in and had Haley's back. The realization that he came to and the reason why had me holding my breath. This is a must read and I can't wait to read what happens next.
I highly recommend this book. I am leaving an honest, voluntary review. Thank you Social Butterfly PR for the ARC.
