Stuck with two lazy, obnoxious stepsisters, a cruel stepmother, and a job that earned her the title of freak, Ashley spent most days trying to stay under the radar. Falling in love was the last thing on her mind.Too bad, fate had other plans when the local celebrity, Harry James, landed in her life.Harry James doesn't like his current situation any better. Being a teenage rock-star-slash-heartthrob might have its perks, but it didn't prevent him from being sent out of state to serve out his senior year after a case of accidental arson. Combined with a controlling publicist, the countdown to freedom and being back on stage felt like a lifetime away.Never in a million years did Ashley or Harry expect to meet the one person who really gets them. Harry doesn't care about her social status, and Ashley isn't blinded by his fame. But as thrilling as their new relationship is, nothing can prepare them for jealous rivals, a greedy family, and life-changing choices that threaten to ambush their futures and separate them forever. Is their connection deep enough for them to survive it all, or will they realize life doesn't have happy endings after all?Ashes is a twisty retelling, like Another Cinderella Story, but with a dash of fairies, a bit of evil, and emotional twists and turns.Contains mild swearing and off-page violence. less
