Make You Ignite
Happy Sunday, friends!
Releasing on Tuesday the 8th is the third and final book of the Auster Preparatory Academy series, Make You Ignite!
It draws to an end with the consequences of Leif and Vanessa's choices. Oh my!
Leif is not my typical male main character. I really enjoyed writing him because of how dark he becomes. I like to think all of my main guys have SOMETHING redeeming about them, and maybe you just have to search harder to find that in Leif! Lol!
Next, we are onto the journey of The Wolf Pack as they head to the University of Michigan in Bully Kickoff! Like I've said previously, this expansive series has 20+ books planned that will take us from the fall into 2021.
I love the characters from Centennial High and really want to expand on their stories. Who knows? There may even be more to come with them after the Wolf Pack series is completed! =)
I hope you all are having a wonderful 3-day weekend! Enjoy some quality time with your families, as that's my plan too. Happy Labor Day to everyone!

Pricing Guide =)
Hello friends!
I wanted to make a short post about the pricing on Amazon for my books to clear a few things up!
Going forward, my series will mostly be 1 Hour Reads to 45 Minutes per book.
The Everest High series is the only one available in which all three books are full-length.
I'm really enjoying writing weekly installments that take forty-five minutes or less to read. So more than likely, all of my future series will be this way.
PRICING GUIDE
1 Hour Reads & shorter - 99cents
90 Minute Reads- $1.69
Regular novels- $2.99 & up
I really wanted to clarify my prices and what you can expect as readers! I do not plan to deviate from this guide, and if I do then I'll create another blog post to inform you in the future. However, I like for you to know what you're getting as I never want to disappoint my readers!
Thank you for your loyalty and I hope you enjoy the new series coming out!

Make You Suffer
Happy Tuesday, friends!
This week started off kinda hectic in our home. My kids started back into school, only we're doing the virtual school so everyone is home!
I love having all of my kids with me all of the time so it makes for special moments and lots of learning.
This school year will definitely be a year like no other!
Releasing tomorrow is the second book in the Auster Preparatory Academy Series. Make You Suffer follows Leif and Vanessa as their lives are changed forever.
The 2nd book really showcases Leif's dark side and how troubles seem to multiply when you cross a line you shouldn't have.
Some of the choices we make in our lives can have such severe consequences that they can never be undone. It's a heavy thought, but true nonetheless!
I do feel sorry for Vanessa. Maybe this crazy opportunity landed in her lap, but she couldn't see the forest for the trees and now her life will never be the same!
I hope you're enjoying the Auster Prep series as book #3 will be out next week, hopefully on Monday, September 7th. =)
The following week, Tank and Bully Kickoff will be released! I'm very excited to get back into War and Gemma's adventures, along with the rest of the Wolf Pack. This series will be quite expansive as I have 20 books planned so far!
I plan to release one a week, however, with a bundle of joy due in November I will just have to try my best to keep up!
Hope you all have a wonderful week! Talk to you very soon.

Auster Prep Series Book #1
Happy Tuesday, friends!
I hope you're all having a wonderful start to your week. Releasing on Thursday this week is Make You Beg, Auster Preparatory Academy book #1!
Leif and Vanessa's relationship is a classic skewered power-pull. I really like this unique take on the typical bully romance relationship. While most in the genre are really darker enemies to lovers, the added elements of Vanessa being his teacher throw in a whole other set of problems! I hope each of my characters resonates with you in some way.
Leif Hudson is your typical rich punk but I almost have a little bit of sympathy for him! Is he really a bad guy or simply the product of his environment?
Now, that's for you to decide! =)
Vanessa White is a bit more complex. Stuck in a loveless marriage, her desire to have a child overrides every other aspect of her life.
Can you relate?
Is there anything in your life you'd be willing to risk everything to have?
It poses a heavy question and one where life is not always so black and white.
This three-book series will release weekly with Make You Suffer and Make You Ignite closing out the end of August and the first week of September.
I hope you enjoy Make You Beg. Leave a comment or review and let me know!
As always, thanks for tagging along with me on this fun journey of weaving characters and stories created to entertain you and maybe, just maybe, help you escape from the craziness of today's world just for a bit!

The end of Centennial High...Just kidding!
Hello friends,
It's hard to believe book #10 of the Centennial High series releases tomorrow! Bully Inferno is definitely the HEA I've been waiting for with War & Gemma!
Because of my love for them, I've decided to turn the Wolf Pack Series into a HUGE collection of stories. At the moment, I have 20 books planned! Wow!
Releasing short stories weekly reminds me of a TV show & waiting for the next installment. I hope you enjoy the series as much as I do!
It'll be a lot of work from the Fall into the Winter, but I love the characters too much to let them go. Bully Kickoff: A Dark College Bully Romance will release early as I'm putting the Beefy Bros series on hold for now.
Here is the line up for September:
Make You Ignite
Tank
Bully Kickoff
Bully Bonfire
Bully Shadows
Each book will be released weekly, with Tank and Bully Kickoff going live together in the same week.
I hope Bully Inferno at least gives you some closure to the end of the Centennial High series as War & Gemma move on from being high school students into the adult world of college. There are plenty of goodies still planned for them as well as tying up the loose ends from high school life.
Enjoy the end of the series and come along with me to the University of Michigan where the gang encounters all new dilemmas!
Talk with you all very soon,
Ashlea

Book #9 is out!
Hello friends!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their week. Today Bully Scorch releases and I'm kinda sad!
Simply because the series is so close to ending and I love War & Gemma together. However, this is the steamiest book of the series so far, oh happy day! Lol!
Book #10, Bully Inferno, will release on August 17-18th, so keep an eye out for the final chapter!
Immediately following the end of Centennial High, The Auster Preparatory Academy series will release with
Make You Beg
Make You Suffer
Make You Ignite
I'm really excited about this series. It's a bit different than the other bully series I've written. The teacher is being bullied by the student!
Here's the blurb to Make You Beg:
Please send help... I'm going to need it.
Leif Hudson is Auster Preparatory Academy's star baseball player and he's set up for a full-ride after graduating.
That is...until he starts to fail my class.
Not used to being told no, he uses his wealth and power to blackmail me into tutoring him for the greater Auster Prep good, however, I come to find out he takes whatever he wants without asking.
Including me.
Make You Beg is a dark high school bully romance with mature themes and language. Recommended for audiences 18+. Reader discretion is advised.
How juicy does that sound? I can't wait to share this series with you all! The three books will be short, steamy stories as I'm releasing one a week through the end of August into September.
As of right now, only three books are planned because after that I'm moving on to the Beefy Bros series of Tank, Cash, and Romeo.
Tank is already available for pre-order with Cash and Romeo following soon. The Beefy Bros series will take a different turn from the bully romance genre into a sweet, steamy romance.
What can I say? I love ALL things romance!
Hope you all have a wonderful week! I'll check in again soon.
Happy Reading,
Ashlea

Release day: Bully Heat!
Hello friends,
Today is the day! Bully Heat, book #8 in the Centennial High series releases. I have to admit, this was the hardest book of the series to write. Its emotionally heavy and sad.
However, never fear! All of my stories end with an eventual HEA or HFN so at least there's that! =)
Eek! We're getting down to the end of the series and I'm not ready for War and Gemma's story to be over. =_(
Drumroll, please.......
That's why I've created a BRAND NEW series called The Wolf Pack that will follow War, Gemma, and the rest of the gang to college!
Bully Kickoff: A Dark College Bully Romance releases October 6th and is available for pre-order now. =)
I hope everyone has a great start to their week. Talk to you all soon and happy reading!

I want to hear from YOU!
Hello friends,
As I'm working on developing new series, curiosity got the best of me!
I know I like reading about alpha, possessive men. Enemies to lovers is my favorite, but the guy can't be too mean lol! There has to be something redeeming about him.
The heroine can be down on her luck, naive, or a bit too nice, BUT she has to have a backbone!
I love the spicy chemistry that initially being enemies brings. However, ALL of my books end with a HEA or HFN.
I HAVE to read books that are the same or I'm so bummed!
So I'm curious, what do you like reading about?
