ABOUT THE BOOK: Re-release November 2025

Alexandra

Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to follow in my parents’ footsteps by becoming a teacher. After losing them at nineteen, I became even more determined. My kindergarten students are my world. From the moment Willow Malloy entered my class room, she tugged at my heart. There’s an aura of sadness about her, a girl in need of all the love I can give. When Willow stops coming to school, my search for answers leads to a clubhouse full of bikers…and a father hell-bent on keeping his daughter always within sight.

Deacon

Since I was fifteen, my life has been dedicated to the Hell’s Raiders motorcycle club. After growing up on the streets, I learned to survive using my fists, which serves me well as the club’s sergeant at arms. My carefree life is thrown for a loop when the five-year-old daughter I never knew existed lands on the club steps. While I might not have a clue how to be a father, I’ll do everything within my power to keep my daughter safe.

The moment I see Alexandra, I want her in my bed. I’ve never met a woman yet who couldn’t be persuaded. Despite our dual attraction, Alexandra refuses to be just another conquest. In the end, I’m the one who could be seduced – into a brighter future for myself, my daughter, and the woman I’m falling for against all odds.

••••••

REVIEW:VICIOUS CYCLE is the first instalment in Katie Ashley’s contemporary, adult HELL’S RAIDERS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is SAA David ‘Deacon’ Malloy, and kindergarten teacher Alexandra Evans’ story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Deacon and Alexandra) VICIOUS CYCLE follows in the wake of arrival of five year old Willow Malloy. Deacon had no idea his daughter existed but when her mother was murdered, Deacon found himself the father to a five year old girl, a young child struggling to fit in. A new family, a new home and a new school meant a new start but when threats against Deacon started taking aim at his five year old daughter Willow, Deacon pulled Willow out of school, and with it, gained the possibility of a future with our story line heroine. Worried about the long absence of one her students, Alexandra Evans ventures to the Hell’s Raiders MC compound where she will come face to face with SAA Deacon Malloy. A home schooling situation follows as our couple find themselves drawn together but life is about to become deadly and dark, when not only is Deacon targeted but the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The world building focuses on the protection of Willow and Alexandra as Deacon’s past comes seeking revenge. Deacon must adjust to a new life but the danger that follows threatens the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The relationship between Deacon and Alexandra is an opposites attract in which Deacon declares he doesn’t do relationships, and Alexandra struggles with leaving a five year old girl who needs something more. But when the threats against Deacon take aim at Alexandra, our heroine finds herself under the protection of the Hell’s Raiders MC. The $ex scenes are erotic and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and dynamic secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to several members of the Hell’s Raiders MC: President Case and his wife Kim; Deacon’s brothers Benjamin aka Bishop, and Nathaniel aka Rev; and their adopted mother Elizabeth; club members Crank, prospect Archer, club girl Cheyenne; as well as Alexandra’s Uncle Paul and Aunt Joy.

VICIOUS CYCLE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dark, dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are desperate, determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 5, 2026

Because of the way I speak, everyone judges me the moment I open my mouth. Even though I’m 6’5 and two eighty, they see me as weak. They always have.
Even my father who passed me over as his heir.
Behind the mask with the automated voice, I’m not weak. Women desire me, and men fear me.

As fortunes change within my family, I need to correct my impediment. That’s why I seek out one of the best speech pathologists on the East Coast. On paper, Dr. Sarah Whitfield looks boring and rigid.

But the good doctor is hiding a secret: she has a kink for Masked Men. She sheds her professional facade on weekends when she attends Masked Events.

And I’m here to fulfill her fantasies of being kidnapped by a masked man.

But this time, it’s for real.

••••••

REVIEW: MAKSIM is the first instalment in Katie Ashley’s contemporary, adult KOROLOV BRATVA erotic, Bratva romance series, a spin off, set in the author’s THE IRISH ROGUES series. This is heir to the Korolov Bratva Maksim Korolov, and speech pathologist Dr. Sarah Whitfield’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Maksim and Sarah) MAKSIM focuses on the acrimonious relationship between our story line couple. Years earlier, at the age of eighteen, Maksim was passed over as his father’s heir-apparent due to his speech disorder, which his father had declared made his son look weak. Fast forward to present day, Maksim is determined to right his father’s wrongs, targeting speech pathologist Dr. Sarah Whitfield, a woman whose sexual kinks run close to his own but as Sarah struggled with Maksim’s unusual demands, it is The Beast that draws Sarah like a moth to a flame, a beast of a man what is more familiar than she could have ever imagined.

The world building focuses on Maksim’s struggle with speech therapy, rewiring his brain and his speech patterns in an effort to take back control what was his all along but as Maksim works behind the scenes, the family dynamics spin out of control as the hierarchy of power continues to transform

The relationship between Sarah and Maksim begins as an abduction. Maksim needs Sarah to help relearn and revise his method of speech but goes about asking for help in all the wrong ways. Sarah will find herself falling for a man she will discover is the Bratva heir but a man who hides behind a mask to get want he wants. The $ex scenes are intimate, provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, dangerous and energetic secondary and supporting characters with several cameo appearances from the author’s The Irish Rogue series including Maxsim’s sister Mila and her future husband Kellan (Beautiful Trauma), as Maksim’s other siblings Kira, Dima, Lev and Aleks, and their brutal father Danill Korolov. The requisite evil has many faces.

MAKSIM is a story of secrets and lies,betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dark, dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated; the characters are desperate, determined and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 27, 2025

KELLAN

I’m not built like the other Kavanaugh brothers. In a world ruled by violence and blood, I’ve always led with my heart. My compassion often led to my downfall like when a stunning blonde needed saving at my club. It wasn’t just her beauty that captured my attention. Her vulnerability spoke to the protector within me. Of course, the seduction that followed was only a ruse. Despite her devious actions, I couldn’t get her or the night we shared together out of my mind. When I find she’s in danger, I can’t help but risk everything to save her. But rescuing her comes at a price that has repercussions not only for me, but for my family.

MILA

As the daughter of a Bratva pahkan’s “second” family, I’ve always been made to feel second best. My beauty has often been used as a pawn in my father’s business schemes. His latest order was to infiltrate the Irish mafia by seducing one of the Kavanaugh brothers. I never expected a handsome, golden boy who was impossibly built, but with a soft voice and kind eyes. I didn’t expect to like him. But the greatest surprise was finding such a caring heart residing in his chest. I never imagined after duping him that he would once again come to my rescue. Just as I started falling for him, fate drove us apart. To protect me, he’ll walk into a war. But love born from lies and violence doesn’t always last. Especially when the truth comes back with a vengeance. And this time, it won’t miss.

••••

REVIEW BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA is the fifth instalment in Katie Ashley’s contemporary, adult IRISH ROGUES erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Bratva princess Mila Korolova, and Irish Mafia businessman Kellan Kavanaugh’s story line. BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA cross over with and run parallel to the events of book four Safe & Sound.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kellan and Mila) BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA focuses on the forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Mila’s brutal father and Bratva Pakhan Danill Korolova has arranged a marriage between Mila’s half-sister Annika, and the Irish Mob but Mila’s brothers had decided to use our heroine to seduce Kellan, in an effort to gain information for future use but Mila never expected to fall for the man in question, the man she betrayed from the sake of her family. While Mila’s family sees our heroine as nothing more than a pawn, Mila and Kellan will pay the price for falling in love against their families wishes.

The world building is dark and gritty as our couple must come to terms with what has happened and why. Mila finds herself on the outside looking in, a perceived betrayer to the family, a family that has destroyed her life and is determined to teach her a lesson from which she may never come back.

The relationship between Mila and Kellan is a forbidden romance-warring crime families that had once reached a tentative impasse but the Bratva ideology and treatment of women has placed Mila in a precarious position, with a fractured family, forced to work for the family in order to survive. Kellan never expected to fall in love with the woman sent to betrayal his family but the heart wants something more than revenge. The $ex scenes are erotic and provocative.

There is another large ensemble cast of colorful and sometimes questionable secondary and supporting characters including the return of Raphael & Maeve, Callum & Caterina, Quinn & Isla, Dare & Ava, and matriarch Orla Kavanaugh: Mila’s sister Kira, her brothers Dima, Maks, Lev, Aleks and, their brutal father Bratva Pakhan Danill Korolova.

BEAUTIFUL TRAUMA is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, dysfunctional family behavior, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic, edgy and twisting; the forbidden romance is passionate and seductive; the characters are desperate, dynamic and broken.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 25, 2024

Raphael

From the moment I became the head of my family, hands stained with my father’s blood, I knew my path was set—a marriage arranged for power, not love. But that all changed the night I met Maeve Kavanaugh. One glance and I was lost. She’s everything I never knew I wanted, yet she’s also the one woman I can’t have. My duty to my family should come first, but every moment I’m near her, I crave the impossible—a life where I can follow my heart instead of my obligations. Maeve is my greatest temptation, and in our world, temptation can be fatal.

Maeve

Raphael Neretti was never meant to be my forever. He was supposed to be a brief escape, a fiery passion in the midst of chaos. But the man who saw beyond my broken pieces became my lifeline, and now I’m caught in a web of love and danger that threatens to destroy us both. I ran from the mafia’s darkness knowing about his arranged marriage, but when Rafe found me, I couldn’t resist the pull between us. Now, as shadows close in, I realize our love might be the most dangerous secret of all.

In this explosive tale of passion and power, love is a dangerous game—and only the strongest will survive.

•••

REVIEW:FIX YOU is the third instalment in Katie Ashley’s contemporary, adult THE IRISH ROGUES dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Irish Mafia princess Maeve Kavanaugh, and Italian Mafia capo and businessman Raphael ‘Rafe’ Neretti’s story line. FIX YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty, but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion. Some of the events of FIX YOU cross over with, and run parallel to the events of book one POISON and WINE where our couple are first introduced to one another.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Maeve and Rafe) FIX YOU follows the building but forbidden relationship between Irish Mafia princess Maeve Kavanaugh, and Italian Mafia capo Raphael ‘Rafe’ Neretti’. One year earlier Maeve Kavanaugh was sold and betrayed by her father, forced to marry a violent man but her freedom would come at a cost. Fast forward to present day, Maeve, a shell of her former self, must make an appearance at her brother Callum’s wedding to Italian Mafia princess Caterina Neretti, where she will meet the man with whom she will fall in love but Raphael Neretti has been contracted in marriage to someone else, and our heroine is about to experience freedom for the very first time. As Caterina and Rafe dance around the proverbial elephant in the room, Rafe pulls Caterina out of her shell, into the woman who is capable of handling her own.

The world building follows several paths including the breakdown and dysfunctional family dynamics; betrayal by blood from within both families; and a potential war on the horizon for power and control.

The relationship between Maeve and Rafe begins as acquaintances where they will meet at their respective siblings’ wedding. Maeve is reluctant and scared to take steps beyond that which she is no longer in control, and Rafe suspects there is more to Maeve’s story than he could have ever imagined. A relationship begins to develop but Maeve knows that she only has Rafe for a limited time regardless of their palpable sexual attraction. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense .

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including family and siblings from both crime world families: Maeve’s siblings (Quinn, Dare, Callum, Kellan, Eamon), their mother Orla; Raphael’s siblings (Leo, Gianni, Caterina) and their father , the ruthless and brutal Alessio Neretti. The requisite evil has many faces.

FIX YOU is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, dysfunctional family dynamics, acceptance and love. The premise is haunting, edgy, dramatic and tragic; the romance is healing and provocative; the characters are desperate yet spirited.

POISON AND WINE by Katie Ashley-review tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 9, 2024

Caterina
As the only daughter of a formidable capo, my existence unfolded within the confines of a gilded cage. At eighteen, I would become a pawn in the intricate game of power, destined to be wed to a high-ranking member of my father’s regime. My fate oscillated between my father’s grasp and that of my future husband. Fleeing was not an option; they would track me down relentlessly. In an act of both self-preservation and rebellion, I sought refuge in a local convent—the sole sanctuary untouched by the shadows of the mafia. Yet, before I could take my final vows, the devil himself knocked at my door — a devastatingly handsome blonde-haired, blue-eyed rogue. With an Irish accent that sent shivers down my spine, he declared me his future wife. No one had touched me; no one would. But despite my aversion to a forced marriage, an irresistible attraction brewed between us— for he was both poison and wine.

Callum
When I abducted a nun, my expectations were simple—she’d be submissive, pliable, the ideal mafia wife. Little did I imagine that the fiery brunette would wield a mouth and body I craved, both in and out of the bedroom. She was a means to an end—a marriage forged out of convenience, a strategic alliance with an enemy family to solidify our standing in the underworld. Tradition dictated that I claim her, yet the last thing I’d do is coerce her. She won’t be forced. I promised she would beg me to take her, and anyone who dared to touch her would die. For she was mine and mine alone.

In the unforgiving realm of the underworld, brace yourself for an electrifying romance pulsating with danger and desire.

•••••

REVIEW: POISON AND WINE is the first instalment in Katie Ashley’s contemporary, adult, Mafia romance series. This is thirty year old, head of the Irish Mafia leader Callum Kavanaugh, and twenty-one year old, Italian Mafia princess Caterina Neretti’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Caterina and Callum) POISON AND WINE follows in the wake of the abduction of our story line heroine. Several years earlier, in an effort to escape an arranged marriage, Caterina Neretti would soon find a home in a local Italian convent. Fast forward three years, Caterina would find herself the captive of Irish mob leader Callum Kavanaugh, a man who is determined to claim our heroine body and soul. Callum needs the marriage to further his power in the criminal underworld but Callum never expected to face down a spitfire of a woman who is determined to make his life a living h&ll. What ensues is the rapidly building relationship between Callum and Caterina, and the potential fall-out as someone else is taking aim at our story line couple.

The world building focuses on two families with similar yet different styles of ruling and control. Both families have seen the fall-out of too much power, wherein the youngest female members become pawns, facing a life pain and fear.

The relationship between Callum and Caterina begins as an abduction. Caterina found seclusion with the sisters in Italy, and having yet to take her final vows, Caterina would come face to face with her future in the guise of Callum Kavanaugh. Not only did Caterina gain a husband but alone with her own biological brothers, several more brothers who would protect with their lives. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and seductive.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and charismatic secondary and supporting characters including both Callum siblings (Quinn, Dare, Maeve), their mother Orla, and Caterina’s brothers (Rafe, Leo and Gianni), as well as Callum’s uncle Seamus, and Caterina’s father Alessio. The requisite evil has many faces. Here’s hoping the author has plans for all of Caterina and Callum’s siblings.

POISON AND WINE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is dramatic and intense; the romance is impassioned; the characters are determined and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 2, 2020

After witnessing his younger brother’s death in a tragic accident, Jonathan Nelson desperately tries losing himself on the gridiron. No matter how hard he tries keeping his head above water, he’s drowning in a sea of grief. Compounding his inability to get his head on straight is Presley—the girl who had a complicated relationship with his brother, Jake, and who is pregnant with his child. At first, Jonathan only harbors resentment and animosity to Presley when she moves in with his parents. But the more the two are thrown together, the more his feelings for her begin to change, and the more confusing Jake’s loss becomes.

Presley Patterson never imagined finding out she was pregnant just a month before graduating high school. She also never fathomed losing the baby’s father to a tragic accident. Needing support for her and her unborn child, she seeks solace by moving in with Jake’s parents. She isn’t too surprised to find an adversary in Jonathan, but she isn’t about to let him ruin the first stability she’s ever experienced. Surprisingly, the animosity towards Jonathan begins to fade and is replaced by more amorous feelings. Taking a chance on Jonathan means risking the perfect world she’s built for herself and her daughter.

Can the two move on from the specter of Jake in order to find a future together, or will their wounded hearts remain unhealed?
