Publisher Description

Jackie Ashenden has been writing fiction since she was eleven years old. Mild mannered fantasy/SF/pseudo-literary writer by day, obsessive romance writer by night, she used to balance her writing with the more serious job of librarianship until a chance meeting with another romance writer prompted her to throw off the shackles of her day job and devote herself to the true love of her heart - writing romance. She particularly likes to write dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who've just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines.

She lives in Auckland, New Zealand, with her husband, the inimitable Dr Jax, two kids, two cats and two rats. When she's not torturing alpha males and their stroppy heroines, she can be found drinking chocolate martinis, reading anything she can lay her hands on, posting random crap on her blog, or being forced to go mountain biking with her husband.

Thumbs Up“3.5 ⭐️this was a cute story with enemies to lovers and grumpy/sunshine tropes set in a small town. Kate and Sebastian own bookstores across the road from each other and when history and a festival forces them to spend more time together their dynamic changes. This was a cute, quick read. My only gripe is that the MMC was more whiny vs. grumpy to me. His emotional immaturity took away from the allure some get from the more proper grump tropes contain,”
