2020
Bestselling author J.W. Ashley brings you a story packed with heat, heart, and laugh out loud moments that will leave you desperate for more.
They say that time heals all wounds. But in Macey's experience, all time does is allow the anger to fester.
When her grandmother falls and breaks her hip, Macey makes the decision to return home and take over her family's small, Italian café. With her dad in a wheelchair and her grandmother now in a hospital bed, it's up to Macey to keep things running smoothly so her family doesn't lose everything. But when she returns home, her family's hidden secrets come to light. Starting with their new handyman.
Lincoln's spent the last few years trying to erase nearly a decade of horrible decisions that all stemmed from the night he broke the heart of the only girl who'd ever been there for him. With no where else to go, her family are the ones who offer him room and board, giving him the chance to get his life on the right track. And when Macey returns home, Lincoln finds himself desperate for her forgiveness. Unfortunately, she's always been good at holding a grudge.
Old sparks light new flames as these two are forced together, and soon, Macey begins to see the Lincoln she fell in love with all those years ago. But as his past collides with their present, the impact could be devastating.
She's not looking for another heartbreak.
He's a walking disaster.
Together they could soar...but based on their pasts, it's more than likely they'll crash and burn.
Perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn, Harloe Rae, Nora Roberts, Kandi Steiner, Rebecca Yarros, and K.K. Allen, Long Road Home is a swoon-worthy standalone that will have you aching for more even as you turn the last page.

Home For Summer

Bestselling Author J.W. Ashley brings you a story full of heart, with the second book in her Home series, a standalone collection about returning home and finding redemption with those you left behind.
So there I was, half-naked and illegally swimming in the chancellor’s pool.
Hi, Kleo Turner here, and you can say I’ve made quite a few crappy decisions over the last two years. But what can I say? I spent the majority of that time attempting to party away crappy memories and drink myself into blissful ignorance.
My latest fall from grace is followed closely by my return home to run my family’s summer youth camp. However, since an alcohol-loving woman with her own baggage carousel doesn’t make for the best counselor, my father informs me that he won’t be letting me run it alone...yet.
In walks Dean Lewis, massive pain in my ass and Turner Cove’s very own golden boy. He’s been running the camp in my absence and my father has decided that in order to prove myself capable, I have to work alongside him.
One wrong move, one bad decision, and I’ll be out of a future.
But this is my home. My place in the world, and I’ll pry that camp from Nerdean if it’s the last thing I do.
Sexy, broody, chip on his shoulder Dean Lewis has just become enemy number one.
Perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn, Alessandra Torre, Harloe Rae, Lauren Landish, and Nora Roberts, Home For Summer brings you an enemies-to-lovers romance packed full of heat, heart, and humor.
