Ashley McKnight

Ashley McKnight is a dark romance author who thrives on writing deliciously dark love stories with morally grey men you’ll go crazy for. A proud Wisconsin native, she survives the harsh winters cozied up with a blanket, her dog, and a book collection that could double as a small library. When she’s not crafting stories that leave readers questioning their morals, you can find her binge-watching The Office, plotting her next bookish obsession, or bribing her characters to behave (spoiler: they never do).

Looking for a love story that’s a little bit sinful and a whole lot addictive? Ashley’s got you covered.
