Ombré Desires

The Satin Between Smoke

"Some stories are written. Others are remembered by the body."

Set beneath the seductive glow of Atlanta, Miami, and Washington after dark, Ombré Desires drifts through rooftop confessions, velvet lounges, ocean-view temptation, and private escapes drenched in tension and smoke-laced desire. When Alexis Johnson Moore walks out of a thirteen-year marriage, two men begin to teach her the difference between being adored and being known. One arrives like warmth. The other like weather.
