Hide n' Seek

2023

Victoria I have nothing left. No family. No money. No future. So when the games begin I have no choice but to enter. I know I could die. But without the prize money I’m a goner anyway, the guys my dad owes money aren’t taking “maybe he’ll wake up from his coma soon” as an answer anymore. Years of cheer and track had prepared me for this. I was born to win this game. It didn’t matter what it took. Blood. Sweat. Tears. My soul. Nothing would stop me from getting that money. Kohl She would have been fine if I had never been born. But he took it all from her. I would do anything to repay her for what my father had stolen. Sell my soul. My body. Kill someone. Hide n’ seek. That’s all it was supposed to be. Play the game, get the money. But then I was handed a gun and a mask. She wasn’t part of the plan. So why the hell is she here? Will you be watching or playing? This will be the first book in a series with interconnect standalones. While they can be read out of order, it is recommended to start from Hide n’ Seek. This is a dark book with many triggers, please see the TW on the authors' website before continuing.

Rat Race

2024

From Ashley Pines and Eden Emory comes a queer dark, smutty thriller set in a world where the rich pay handsomely to watch the live-streaming event of the year. The desperate sign-up to play a game with life-changing rewards and life-ending consequences. Cam Legacy. A word I reckon I’d heard a hundred times more than my own name. It’s what I am, who I am. The product of generations of greatness. And now, I was the Weston’s last chance to score big inside the arena. It should’ve been like shootin’ fish in a barrel. But the moment I saw her, winning didn’t mean a hill of beans. Was the Lord testin’ me? Punishin’ me for questioning the Ranch? Or was i looking down the barrel of a gun right at my future? Ain’t no way I was leavin’ without her. Aubrey I came for one reason and one only. To kill the person that made my life hell. But when things don't go as planned and a certain thembo cowboy catches my eye, they are suddenly all I think about. All I want. And for them, I'd do anything. Kill anyone. Even if they punish me for it. Better yet, I hoped they'd punish me for it and I couldn't wait for everyone to watch. This is the second book in a series of interconnected stand alone novels. While they can be read out of order, it is recommended to start from Hide n’ Seek. This is a dark book with many triggers, please see the TW on the authors' website before continuing.

Ashley is a cat-mom of two, wife and spicy romance enthusiast living in Edmonton, AB. You can usually find her curled up on the sofa surrounded by a hundred pillows and reading on her kindle (or, y'know, writing.) Becoming her best friend is easy! You just need an undying love of all things sweet and be cool with watching the same five movies on repeat.
