Hi everyone! I’m Ashley Perkins, a debut indie author preparing to release my contemporary romance Redemption Arc this Memorial Day.
I’m currently looking for thoughtful beta / ARC readers who enjoy character-driven romance, emotional tension, and complicated love stories. I’m especially seeking readers who are comfortable giving honest feedback on pacing, clarity, and emotional payoff — and who are willing to leave a review at release if they enjoy it.
Here is the full synopsis:
In a town where ambition meets fame, there’s always someone behind the curtain orchestrating what you see. Blackburn Press is the company that can take any client to the next level. When Charlotte Tate lands a job at Hollywood’s biggest public relations firm, she does everything in her power to go from assistant to strategist, a coveted role that demands she pay her dues. She spends her days fetching coffee and handling every task imaginable for her boss. Two years in, neither her career nor her long-term relationship has progressed past its college phase. That is until, former child star Holden Strauss, walks through their office doors in desperate need of revival. His comeback in Hollywood might be just what she needs to finally catch her boss’s attention. But when a mysterious pendant lands in her hands, the job becomes something far more dangerous than a PR challenge. Charlotte is forced to confront a question no strategy can fix: how much of herself is she willing to sacrifice to repair someone else’s reputation?
What to expect: • Hollywood PR setting • Long-term relationship unraveling • Morally gray former child star • Emotional slow burn • Internal character growth • Subtle supernatural element woven through the story
Release date: Memorial Day 2026 ARC copies will be sent digitally in April.
If you’re interested in reading and providing feedback, I would be so grateful 🤍
