Meet Elodie Ashwood

The woman behind the protective heroes, fierce heroines, and heat that melts your Kindle.

Hey Babe, I'm Elodie. 💋

I write the kind of books that make you miss your subway stop, stay up way past bedtime, and text your group chat at 2 AM screaming about chapter fourteen.

My heroes are protective, possessive, and a little bit unhinged in the best possible way. My heroines? They don't need saving — but they might let the right man try. Every story comes with spicy heat, sharp banter, and feelings that hit like a freight train.

I write steamy contemporary romance across two series: Protectors Next Door (military romance and romantic suspense with heroes who'll burn the world down to keep her safe) and Men of Mill Creek (small-town romance where everyone knows your name — and your business). Both feature interconnected standalones, so you can jump in anywhere.

My signature tropes include enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, fake relationships, surprise pregnancy, and brother's best friend. If you want a romance where the tension crackles, the chemistry is electric, and the happily-ever-after is earned — you're in the right place.

When I'm not writing scenes that require a cold glass of water, you'll find me plotting my next series, hoarding bookish candles, and reminding my readers that love should feel like an adventure — not a compromise.

All my books are available on Amazon and free in Kindle Unlimited. Want to start with a free read? Grab Claimed By My Dark Protector — a dark forced-proximity romance with second-chance heat and a hero who refuses to let her go.

xoxo, Elodie
