--- On the backroads of Queensland, where the sun burns hot and the law runs cold, the Southern Reapers Motorcycle Club live by their own code — loyalty, brotherhood, and blood. At their head rides Cole “Raven” Maddox, a man built from loss and asphalt. Six years after the death of his wife, Cole has learned to live like the road he rides — scarred, silent, and endless. The club is his family now, his armor against a world that already took too much. But one violent encounter changes everything. When a confrontation with their long-time rivals, the Black Vultures, exposes a human trafficking ring, the Reapers find themselves rescuing a handful of broken survivors — among them, Elena, a young woman with a quiet strength that cuts through Cole’s defenses. Haunted and wary, Elena wants nothing to do with the world of leather and vengeance. Yet as she recovers under the Reapers’ roof, she finds herself drawn to the gruff, scarred man who led her out of hell. And in Cole, she sees something she thought was long gone — decency, and the kind of brokenness that mirrors her own. But peace doesn’t come easy in the outlaw life. The Vultures want her back — not for what she is, but for what she knows. Her survival threatens to expose their operation, and they’ll burn the Reapers’ world to the ground to silence her. As violence closes in, Cole faces an impossible choice: protect his club, or protect the woman who’s reminded him how to feel. And Elena, finding her voice again, must decide whether to run from danger — or ride straight into it beside him. From dusty highways to midnight storms, Ashes & Asphalt is a story about love rising from ruin, about two souls learning to trust the road ahead even when it’s lined with ghosts. Because sometimes, the heart doesn’t heal by forgetting — it heals by fighting to live again. ---
