INTRODUCTION
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Welcome to "Ash & Dust". I'd like to start off by thanking you for checking it out and hopefully giving it a chance. I have quite a few messages I want to convey through this story, but first, some disclaimers:

•This is a mature story. It will deal with topics not necessarily suitable for younger audiences.

•Drugs, rape, sex trafficking, murder, racism, abuse, and other heavily sensitive subjects are discussed in the book. There won't be any trigger warnings.

•This story is listed as general fiction, but its subgenre is romance. Not cliche, over the top, teen fiction type romance. If you're looking for a sweet sappy story, this is not it. Although I do think, if you're mature enough to handle the topics listed above, that you will enjoy this read.

DESCRIPTION
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Ashley Cole was born in the deep end.
Dustin Munroe was shoved into it.

Born to a woman trapped in the unforgiving hand of sex slavery, Ashley's been desperate to separate herself from the stains of her upbringing, but it's hard to let go of the only family she knows. It's even harder when letting go means leaving her to die.

The murder of his father was hard enough, but finding out the man who killed him was a drug lord his father was in debt to gave Dustin no time to grieve. Especially when that drug lord showed up one day, expecting him to pay what was left of the debt.

What happens when two drowning people cross paths? Will they help each other stay afloat? Or cause them to sink faster?
