FORBIDDEN
When love defies reason… and healing begins where heartbreak once lived.
Ashley, a New York-based author and proud graduate of York College (Cum Laude in Business Administration), brings her passion for storytelling to life with Forbidden—a moving, seductive tale of love, loss, and rediscovery. With two accolades in writing, and a heart that beats for travel, music, and meaningful stories, Ashley crafts characters that are both deeply human and unforgettable.
In Forbidden, she takes readers on a sweeping journey through the shimmering lights of New York, the tranquil blues of Santorini, and the romantic streets of Paris.
Dr. Emma Lawrence has everything—an accomplished career, a stable engagement, and a future built on certainty. Until one night, one kiss, and one man—Logan Carter—shatter that illusion forever.
Trying to hold onto the life she planned, Emma pushes Logan away. But fate is relentless. When her fiancé tragically passes away, she finds herself lost in grief… and haunted by the memory of a man who once made her feel alive.
As Logan reappears, no longer a fleeting temptation but a comforting presence in her unraveling world, Emma must face a cling to the past or surrender to a love that may heal her in ways she never imagined.
Bold, breathtaking, and achingly real, Forbidden is a story of passion, redemption, and the kind of love that dares to bloom after heartbreak. For fans of Sylvia Day and Jodi Ellen Malpas, this is the romance you've been waiting for.
