Burn Bag: The act of throwing all caution to the wind and burning down all previous plans.

Nothing in my life had worked out as expected.

I lost the woman I loved to another man, my father had been shot in front of me, and I nearly died in his grave when a sniper tried to take me out.

Suffice it to say, things could have been going better for me.

So, I tore up the game plan, went online, and found myself a wife.

Everything was finally coming up roses.

And then she lifted the veil…

When I said I was burning down my old life, I didn’t really understand what that entailed.

But I laid it all on the line for this woman, and I wasn’t walking away for anything.

No matter how many times either of us ended up in the hospital.

BLURB.

Everything I’d ever done had been because of Scarlett Green.

I’d worked hard in school, played hard but trained harder all while waiting for her to get her degree. Her brother, my best friend, knew how I felt about her and the only promise I’d made to him was that I’d wait to make my move until after she’d graduated.

That day finally came, and I’d come home to celebrate with her and send her on her way to new job in a new city. The exact same city I was living in, New York. It was finally going to be our time. I planned to offer her a place to live. After all, I had just bought a large three-bedroom condo after signing a five-year contract with the New York Predators.

Only our time was short lived when my past came back to haunt me in the form of a child I knew nothing about. Overnight, my life was turned upside down. Like the good woman Scarlett is, she immediately put a stop to everything between us, demanding I concentrate on learning how to raise my baby boy while playing hockey.

Now, five years later, I’ve gotten control over our life when the news came that I was being traded to the Vancouver Dominators. Without debate I moved to Vancouver. Within six months of my return, I ran into Scarlett and her brother at one of our home games. She's not only moving to Vancouver but she is here to do an article on the team for the new Canadian division of the Ice Insiders, a sports publication. After one disastrous run in with her I learn she's living in my building and looking to find Mr. Right. I figured now might be the perfect time to pick up where we left off, after all I was certain she was meant to be mine.

[Release Blitz + Review] Rampage by LeAnn Ashers


RELEASE DAY IS HERE! 🔥
Rampage by LeAnn Ashers is LIVE!!


ABOUT THE BOOK.

𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘:
I fled my nightmare the moment I turned eighteen. I ended up in a town where the Grim Sinners MC called the shots—men with hard eyes and harder reputations.

After a year of looking over my shoulder, I had almost convinced myself I was free.

Until the monster I ran from resurfaced.

With my demons closing in, I had to choose—trust Reid and the Sinners, or face my nightmare alone…again.

𝐑𝐄𝐈𝐃:
I had clocked her the instant she arrived—this slip of a woman with haunted eyes who memorized escape routes before ordering coffee.

Something fierce and possessive stirred within me. Protection. Every instinct screamed to claim her, mark her as mine.

So I shadowed her, patient as death, waiting. When the time was right, I made my move.

But then her past caught up. The bastard who'd ruined her life showed his face, and I saw my chance. I vowed to stand between her and him and protect her with everything…

GENRE: Mafia Romance
TROPES: Grumpy/Sunshine, Forced Proximity
Cinnamon Roll Hero, Ex Con/Good Girl
RELEASE DATE: July 8, 2025


BLURB.

Baker Ritter knew how to pick them.

She met the man she thought she was going to marry in middle school, gave him some of the best years of her life, for him to leave her pregnant and alone hours before she’s due to have his baby.

To make matters worse, he brings his side chick to the birth, and she’s left with a decision—fight for what she wants, or cut her losses.

What she should’ve done was cut her losses. What she does instead is take him back and experiences what it’s like to live in hell.

When she’s at the lowest of the low, she calls her dad, an ex-con, who sends the one person he knows that can fix it all.
Copper Clayborne.

***

Copper Clayborne has no time for nonsense—that nonsense being a woman and a baby.

But that woman’s dad saved his life in prison and kept saving it until he was strong enough to save himself.

He owes everything to Baker’s dad, so of course he says yes when he asks to let Baker move in with him.

That doesn’t mean that he has to have anything to do with her.

He’s got a business to fix—then bring down in the most fantastic, public way possible.

He’s also got years of celibacy to make up for.

He doesn’t have time to fall for the woman and her kid.

He certainly doesn’t have the mental headspace to deal with her drama.

He gives it his all, but Baker wiggles into his cracked and bleeding heart, and makes herself right at home. Whether he wants her there or not.

Get ready for this all-new erotic, off the hook, deranged romance with the sentient contents of one girl’s toolbox!



BLURB.

She handles her screwdriver every day, but she has no clue how much he likes it.

Yeah. There’s a real man in that tool, and he’s determined to break a curse for love.

Sophia’s a handy girl with a toolbox, a job using it, and a vibrating silicone toy that takes care of those special needs. All that’s missing is a few grand for a new pickup truck to get her business running.

A new contracting job with Jaeger Duke, the slimy son of a politician, will get her the dollars, but she doesn’t realize how dangerous this dumb, coked-up, nepo-douche baby can be.

Fortunately, the guy cursed to live inside her screwdriver knows the deal and is willing to strip some threads to protect her.

Unfortunately, the woman he’s pining for only appreciates him for his flathead. 

That’s when an itsy-bitsy spider that’s possessed by an ambitious demon drops by with a way to break the curse. Sophia has to grasp her screwdriver’s thicker side in a very intimate way before she and her entire toolbox get completely screwed.

——

If, when you finish this book, you ask yourself “What the heckiddy-heck did I just read?” then I have done my job.

If, despite this pertinent and valid question, you’re interested in watching this story turn into a  Why Choose, stay tuned for three more novellas about Sophia and the rest of the toolbox crew.
