Fragments of Ash (A Modern Fairytale) by Katy Regnery




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.

From New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery comes a dark and twisted retelling of the beloved fairytale, Cinderella!

 
Fragments of Ash by Katy Regnery is a dark tale of a young woman born to a single mother led astray by the temptations of life, only to be abandoned in a time of dire need.  Ashley, isolated & unknowingly a practical mirror reflection of the life her mother wanted to protect her from.  "Dreaming of something, but scared it won't come true." 
 
This Cinderella-esk tale with a twist is complete with a chillingly evil stepfather.  The contempt of the family & lack of love or even caring is heart breaking.  "...of being alone, of being unwanted, of being frightened..."  Cruel & crude - shocking abuse, emotional & physical.  Making the idea of kindness, difficult to believe.  Escape in search of finding the ever eluding safety.  Falling into a haven under the protection of a man with his own secrets, closed off to trusting anyone.  The chemistry is palpable, lust that beyond intense.  You'll be on the edge of your seat as the story unfolds - secrets revealed, compassion, kindness, romance & desire shine through.  "...learning that sometimes love isn't in the words we say, but in how we give and what we sacrifice..."
