About the Book:

A DARK WARNING. A DANGEROUS SEDUCTION.

The first in the Gothic romance series Shadows of Pemberley, a seductive modern-day reimagining of Jane Austen’s most daring worlds, from USA Today bestselling author Zoe Blake. DELUXE EDITION--featuring beautiful sprayed edges!

Aristocratic scandal. Murder. A legacy cursed by Northanger Abbey.

Jane Austen's novels are not romances, they are a warning. Her poisoned pen exposed the arrogance and greed of British high society, even as she cursed them for it.

Reborn as a modern story of obsession, control, and dangerous desire.

To save her family from ruin, Julianna Whitcombe must marry the cold and enigmatic Lord Victor Tilney.

But within the crumbling walls of Northanger Abbey, danger lurks at every turn. Her wedding gown is destroyed, poison appears in the food, and a near-fatal accident makes one thing clear: someone is determined to stop the wedding. As whispers of a deadly bridal curse spread through the abbey, Julianna begins to uncover Tilney's dark and twisted legacy.

Yet the greatest mystery is Victor himself. Fiercely protective and dangerously possessive, he may be the only man who can save her—or the one she should fear most.

Dark, seductive, and steeped in gothic suspense, Ashes of Austen will leave readers breathless as love battles the forces of vengeance and a deadly curse that may destroy them both.

About the Author:

ZOE BLAKE is a USA Today bestselling author of dark romance inspired by her obsession with Gothic literature and the salacious gossip of history’s most infamous families. She delights in writing deliciously decadent books filled with possessive men, forbidden desire, and drama. When not crafting tales of aristocratic scandal, she can usually be found spending her ill-gotten gains on martinis and travel. Since she can barely boil water, she’s lucky enough to be married to a sexy Chef.

About the Conversation Partner:

Alta Hensley is a New York Times & USA Today bestselling author of dark romance where the villain always gets the happily ever after.

Twisted, clever, and occasionally unhinged, her books deliver morally gray anti-heroes, sharp-tongued heroines, and happily ever afters that taste even sweeter after a little ruin. With a signature blend of grit, wit, and heat, Alta’s stories prove one thing: Villains deserve love too.

Alta lives on the foggy coast of Oregon with her husband, two daughters, and a pair of dogs who think they’re in charge. When she’s not writing redemption for the irredeemable, she’s walking the coastline or sipping craft beer in eccentric little bars that feel like they belong in her books.
