Ashley Jade craves tackling different genres and tropes within romance. Her first loves are New Adult Romance and Romantic Suspense, but she also writes everything in between including: contemporary romance, erotica, and dark romance.
Her characters are flawed and complex, and chances are you will hate them before you fall head over heels in love with them.
She's a die-hard lover of oxford commas, em dashes, music, coffee, and anything thought provoking...except for math.
Books make her heart beat faster and writing makes her soul come alive. She's always read books growing up and scribbled stories in her journal, and after having a strange dream one night; she decided to just go for it and publish her first series.
It was the best decision she ever made.
If she's not paying off student loan debt, working, or writing a novel—you can usually find her listening to music, hanging out with her readers online, and pondering the meaning of life.
Check out her social media pages for future novels.
She recently became hip and joined Twitter, so you can find her there, too.
She loves connecting with her readers—they make her world go round'.
~Happy Reading~

PROLOGUE
Lily, 19; Frankie, 28
Lily
Dr. Mancini had a tendency to gawk at my vagina like it was one of those macaroon-stuffed cookies from the bakery next to my house.
I shifted as much as I could, given the stirrups situation and the fact that, every time I moved, one of my barely-existent boobs popped out of the flimsy disposable gown. His eyes shifted with me, the tip of his tongue peeking out the corner of his lips. He toyed with his surgical tray of tools, eyes never leaving the center of my legs for more than a few seconds.
If my older sister were here, she would tell me to fuck with his head.
From the other side of the curtain, Papà stopped his phone call long enough to shout out, “Well?”
Dr. Mancini adjusted the height of his seat. “We’ve just started, sir.”
“Hurry. I have a meeting across Sicily.”
Hurry.
Easy for Papà to say when it wasn’t him getting fingered by someone twenty years older.
I’d been twelve when I’d had my first check. One of Papà’s night guards had caught my sister Carlotta, sneaking into the main house from the servants’ quarters. The only boy living there that was remotely her age was the gardener’s son. Papà had an enforcer execute him while his parents watched.
Meanwhile, Papà accompanied me and Carlotta to an emergency appointment with Dr. Mancini, who stuck his fingers inside us and confirmed our hymens were, indeed, intact.
That night, Carlotta slipped into my room and confessed that she’d given head to the boy’s dad.
“He fingered me and called me tight,” she whispered between fits of giggles.
