House of Ash An age-gap dark romance about power, trust, obsession, and the dangerous line between curiosity and desire. Emilia Moretti never expected her graduate research to lead her into the most secretive world in the city. When she’s granted rare access to House of Ash—an elite burlesque club known for its luxury, mystery, and impossible-to-get invitations—she expects to study performance, wealth, and the psychology behind the masks people wear. She doesn’t expect Lucien Devereaux. The older, untouchable owner of House of Ash is everything Emilia was warned about: powerful, intimidating, and impossible to read. But beneath his cold exterior is a man who understands trust, vulnerability, and the delicate balance of control better than anyone. When Emilia discovers the hidden world beneath the club—a private society built around negotiated power, desire, and trust—her research takes an unexpected turn. What begins as curiosity becomes fascination. Fascination becomes temptation. And temptation becomes something neither of them can walk away from. Inspired by the dark, luxurious romance of 365 Days and Fifty Shades of Grey, House of Ash is an age-gap BDSM romance filled with forbidden attraction, slow-burning chemistry, emotional vulnerability, and a relationship that challenges everything Emilia and Lucien thought they knew about control. Because the most dangerous thing about surrender isn’t losing power. It’s choosing who deserves it.
