Arthur Hughes, flamboyant and excitable son of one of Chicago's most prominent families, ruined his reputation when he impregnated a woman from his social circle over sixteen years ago. Ever since then, Arthur has tried to earn back the respect of his peers, as well as his parents' love. Now, with the World's Columbian Exposition coming to the city, Arthur believes he may finally have a chance. Eager to secure a spot as an exhibitor at Machinery Hall, Arthur purchases his second print shop, only to become besotted with one of his employees-the most intriguing man he's ever seen.

Jesse O'Connor, compositor and lead pressman, has worked hard to escape his former life. Raised behind the Union Stockyard, Jesse feels resentful that he has not yet managed to completely escape the clutches of poverty. Years back, after a member of the city's social elite broke Jesse's heart, he promised himself that he'd never again fall for someone with such extravagant wealth. But when one of the richest men in Chicago purchases his press shop, Jesse finds himself powerless to resist the bewitching man's infuriating charms.

Arthur and Jesse fall hard and fast, but for their love to endure, Arthur must realize that there are more important things in life than his reputation, while Jesse must let himself believe that, no matter his background, he is worthy of Arthur's love.

Set in 1893, From the Ashes is a heartfelt historical romance that explores the economic inequalities and social pressures of the Gilded Age, the flaws and merits of the World's Fair, and how overcoming past hurts and present insecurities can be made possible through love.
