Afterlight June 2025: Picture to Burn

Our Afterlight June theme is . . . PICTURE TO BURN!

The time we spent together is gone; now I have pictures to burn.

Our June Afterlight book is a standalone contemporary adult romance! A relationship columnist is disillusioned with love after her long-term relationship falls apart. When she’s paired up with an old ex for a work project, it doesn’t take long for them to fall back together—despite their unresolved past. Juggling her career and her feelings, she must decide what will lead her to future happiness.
