From New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery comes a dark and twisted retelling of the beloved fairytale, Cinderella!
My name is Ashley Ellis…
I was thirteen years old when my mother – retired supermodel, Tig – married Mosier Răumann, who was twice her age and the head of the Răumann crime family.
When I turned eighteen, my mother mysteriously died. Only then did I discover the dark plans my stepfather had in store for me all along; the debauched "work" he expected me to do.
With the help of my godfather, Gus, I have escaped from Mosier's clutches, but his twin sons and henchmen have been tasked with hunting me down. And they will stop at nothing to return my virgin body to their father
…dead or alive.
** Contemporary Romance. Due to profanity and very strong sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.**

Fragments of Ash is part of the ~a modern fairytale~ collection: contemporary, standalone romances inspired by beloved fairy tales.
I like that this series from Katy Regnery is all standalone romances with no overlapping characters or worlds, as I haven’t read every single book yet. You won’t need to in order to immerse yourself in this story, biting your nails as you hope that Ash won’t get caught, and then swooning over Julian falling in love with her. An added bonus to the story was how Katy incorporated the diary from Ash’s mom, it helps you understand her choices that affected Ash. Since this is told in dual POV, you can see how Julian changes from a surly young man who detests having Ash around, into a loving and sweet man who wants to protect her. Also, we see Ash grow from a naive teenager and not feeling safe into a woman that is loved and protected.
A taste
He is so beautiful, I feel it everywhere — in every frantic beat of my heart — and I stare at him until he realizes I've frozen in his arms.
As he tongues my breast, his finger moves in slow circles, sliding over my aroused, slick skin.
My fingers curl into the sheets on either side of my hips as he does to my sex what he did to my nipples. Licking, kissing, and sucking on my tender flesh, he brings me to orgasm number two, but his voice is more taut and less playful than before when he asks me: "Are you sure you want to have sex, baby?"
