Ashley Elston Synopses: In The Lying Woods, Owen Foster’s life changes overnight when his mother arrives at his elite boarding school with devastating news. The wealth and privilege he has always known were built on stolen money, and his father has disappeared after allegedly embezzling millions from the family business and wiping out the retirement savings of its employees.

Forced to return to his Louisiana hometown to finish his senior year, Owen finds himself surrounded by people who blame him for his father’s crimes. Resentment quickly turns into something more troubling when he and his mother begin receiving threatening messages from someone seeking revenge. Determined to uncover the truth, Owen starts investigating the events surrounding his father’s disappearance and a cryptic note sent shortly before he vanished.

Owen finds refuge working in a sprawling pecan orchard owned by a man named Gus, whose connection to his family runs deeper than it first appears. As Owen digs further into the secrets surrounding Louisiana Frac and the nearby Preacher Woods, he uncovers a history of injustice that forces him to confront painful truths about his past and reconsider the future he wants for himself.

In 10 Blind Dates, Sophie is looking forward to a little freedom when her family heads to Louisiana for Christmas. Instead, her plans fall apart when her longtime boyfriend, Griffin, admits he wants space from their relationship. Heartbroken, Sophie escapes to her grandparents’ house, where her large extended family has gathered for the holidays.

Determined to cheer her up, Sophie’s grandmother comes up with an unusual plan. Over the next ten days, different members of the family will each arrange a blind date for her. The results range from awkward to unexpected, taking Sophie to underground parties, community events, and situations she never would have chosen for herself.

As the dates pile up, Griffin reappears asking for another chance, leaving Sophie more uncertain than ever. At the same time, she begins to develop feelings she did not anticipate, forcing her to question what she really wants. What starts as a disastrous Christmas break gradually becomes an opportunity for Sophie to rethink her future, her relationships, and herself.

In 10 Truths and a Dare by Ashley Elston, Olivia is looking forward to Senior Party Week, the stretch between her final classes and graduation filled with celebrations, traditions, and time with friends. With plans for LSU already in place and a bright future ahead, she expects to make it through the week without any problems. Instead, she discovers that a missing P.E. form could prevent her from graduating.

Determined to fix the situation without alerting her large and inquisitive family, Olivia volunteers at a local golf tournament to earn the credit she needs. The problem is that her mother tracks her location through an app on her phone. To keep up appearances, Olivia convinces her cousins and closest friends, Sophie, Charlie, and Wes, to help her maintain the illusion that she is attending the week’s parties and events.

As Olivia juggles a complicated schedule, growing suspicion from those around her, and an unexpected connection with a boy she knows she should avoid, her carefully organized plan becomes harder and harder to manage. What begins as a simple attempt to save her graduation turns into a week full of complications, surprises, and difficult choices about what comes next.
