From the Ashes: Jackson Hillsborough was living the dream: NFL stardom, money, and fame. But years of reckless behavior—fights, scandals, and bad decisions—finally caught up with him. After one explosive night that ends in his suspension, Jackson’s glittering career is on the verge of collapse. With his reputation in tatters and nowhere else to turn, he’s forced to retreat to the one place he swore he’d never return to—Green Lake, Colorado.

For Rose La Batrie, Green Lake has always been home. Buried under the weight of her late father’s debt and fighting to keep her struggling family business afloat, the last thing she needs is Jackson Hillsborough waltzing back into town. The man who broke her heart years ago is now a walking tabloid headline—and his return threatens to upend the fragile stability she’s worked so hard to maintain.

As Jackson confronts the fallout of his choices, he begins to realize that redemption won’t come easily. To rebuild his life—and his image—he’ll need more than apologies. But winning back Rose’s trust? That might be the biggest challenge of all.

Raw, emotional, and deeply compelling, From the Ashes is a story about facing your demons, rebuilding after you’ve hit rock bottom, and discovering that sometimes, the hardest road leads you home.
