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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo keep up to date with Jackie's new releases and other news, sign up for her newsletter at \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ejackieashenden.com\u003cbr\u003eFacebook.com\/jackie.ashenden\u003cbr\u003e@JackieAshenden\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Headline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51254148071698,"sku":"9781035418015","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_333c3b7a-4eac-48cf-8895-04e0bff322ba.jpg?v=1746311364","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/book-people-a-sweet-and-spicy-enemies-to-lovers-bookshop-rom-com-9781035418015","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
