D.N. Ashbourne writes old-school romances for modern readers. Her stories are full of yearning, grand gestures, dramatic confessions, and plenty of spice. Inspired by the golden age of historical romance, she enjoys writing slow-burn romances with humor, heart, and complicated characters who have to work a little to learn how to love and be loved.

If you love romance-driven stories, magical worlds, and guaranteed happy endings, you are in the right place.

Follow D.N. Ashbourne on TikTok and Instagram (@dn.ashbourne) for book updates, sneak peeks, and the occasional dose of author chaos. For exclusive content, never-published scenes, and early previews, you can also find her on Substack (dnashbourne.substack.com).
