Hello,
I'm Kelliea Ashley, author of Boss's Orders from Breathless Press. My new flirt
is the sequel to my first flirt, Behind the Masks. I liked the strong, vibrant,
and confident character of Lizzie so much that she just had to have her own
story told. In Behind the Masks Lizzie's boss has a car accident that lands her
in the position of being not only his personal assistant, but his nurse as
well. He's a strong alpha male with a habit of handing out commands, so when
the tables turn and she is the one in control, sparks fly.
I've
always wanted to be a writer. My mother supported that dream from the moment I
told her that was my goal. She taught me to be resilient and how to handle
criticism by learning to better myself. All I accomplish in life can be attributed
to her. She also shared her love of animals, gardens, and alas eating.
Chocolate to be specific. If she were here today, I think she would be as proud
of me as the rest of my family. Proud and dumbfounded. You have to understand,
I am an only child, quiet, meek, and an introvert. They never expected this of
me. Makes me smile a bit to keep the world guessing.
So,
what is next? I want to continue with my series for next year. I have two of
them, so lots to do. Also, I'm looking forward to expanding my writing to
different genres. Perhaps I'll get the courage to tackle a historical. You
never know. :)
Boss's Orders Blurbs:
What's a girl to do when her hot boss
makes her his emergency contact? Why follow orders and kiss his pain away, of
course.
Lizzie Schwep has fought her attraction
to Brian Monroe for three long years, but when an accident leaves him in need
of some tender loving care she finds herself ready to toss in the towel.
Brian Monroe is comfortable being the
boss. He's avoided a messy situation by keeping hands off his sexy assistant,
but when he's suddenly dependent on Lizzie, he finds himself tempted to break
all the rules and follow her every order.
Boss's Orders excerpt:
"My
panties are not in a twist." He insisted roughly. "I know we've had
this argument before, but those guys were memorizing your ass in those
too-tight jeans while you were bent over." Oh, so that was what got him so pissy. Interesting.
"So?"
She wanted to laugh, but kept her face straight as she envisioned steam
escaping his ears.
"You
really don't mind being ogled by a bunch of sweaty movers?" He eyed her
tight gray T-shirt once more.
"I'm
flattered."
"Flattered! Are you so hard-up for male
attention that you look for trouble like that?"
"Trouble?
Seriously? They were harmless men." She scowled at him and got up to grab
the bag of bedding she had purchased for the twin bed. "As for needing
attention, every woman likes male attention." Irritation grew as he
continued to glare at her while she made the bed. "And how dare you insult
me about liking it, when every woman you've dated since I met you earns their
living by sashaying their asses in front of men and cameras?" She snapped
the top sheet with excess energy and began tucking it under at the foot.
"Talk about a hypocrite, Brian baby."
"Eaves-dropping
were you?" He actually grinned at her and she blew her hair out of her
eyes. It had escaped her loose bun while she was beating the sheets into place.
"Why
do you date women who are more concerned with their diets than with you? Oh,
that's right! Because they have size two bodies and point two IQ's."
"You
pay a lot of attention to my sex life, Schwep. Should I be worried about you
becoming a stalker?" He laughed outright as she sputtered.
"You
should be so lucky, Monroe."

Kelliea Ashley
lives near the Canadian Border in upstate New York with her husband, a cat
named Copperkitty, a dog named Sammy, and several fish, who do not have names
and are very lucky her husband feeds them.
Growing up an only
child with a devoted single mother, she looked at books as companions and
writing as a favorite escape. A bookworm at heart she steadfastly refused to
give up paperbacks until her loving hubby bought her a Kindle for Christmas.
Secretly she still adores the smell of a well-read book, but sh... don't tell
her husband.
She has a habit in
the form of chocolate and loves a glass of sweet red wine. Romance has always
been her favorite genre because she sees the miracle and magic in finding ones'
true love.
