The Ashton Effect

Ella is the eldest daughter who has spent her entire life putting everyone else first. After the tragic loss of her parents, she steps into the role of head of the family, burying her own dreams, desires, and identity beneath responsibility and duty.

Her carefully controlled world begins to shift when a young, irresistibly charming professional hockey player enters her life. He is everything she is not... carefree, flirtatious, rich, and dangerously confident... and, to her surprise, younger than her.

What starts as a chaotic, drunken night turns into a moment that changes everything. Boundaries blur, tension ignites, and suddenly, Ella finds herself pulled into a whirlwind she never planned for.

As sparks fly between the guarded woman who forgot how to live for herself and the golden boy who seems determined to break through her walls.

And just when Ella starts to lose control of her carefully planned life, her ex-boyfriend suddenly comes back. His return brings up old feelings and creates even more confusion in her already messy life.
