—Carly Phillips, New York Times bestselling author
“I adore Kristen Ashley’s books. She writes engaging, romantic stories with intriguing, colorful, and larger-than-life characters. Her stories grab you by the throat from page one and don’t let go until well after the last page.

Ashley is an addicting read no matter which of her stories you find yourself picking up.”
