About the Author

Ashleigh Sinclair writes love stories with sharp edges.

A Toronto-based author of historical romance, Ashleigh Sinclair is the writer behind The Spy Who Kissed Me — Regency romance threaded with espionage, wit, and forbidden desire.

Ashleigh with Koby

Ashleigh Sinclair is an emerging voice in luxury historical romance — a storyteller drawn to the places where elegance and danger meet.

Her debut novel, The Spy Who Kissed Me, opens in Regency London in 1815: a world of glittering ballrooms and shadowed libraries where intelligence moves through drawing rooms as freely as gossip. It is the first of a planned series pairing slow-burn romance with the pulse of a spy thriller.

Ashleigh writes the kind of historical romance she loves to read — witty heroines who notice everything, heroes with more secrets than titles, and love stories earned page by page rather than given away. Her research runs deep, but it never slows the story: the history is the stage, and the romance is the play.

She lives in Toronto, Ontario, where she is a devoted mother of three. Away from the writing desk you will find her on the pickleball court, walking the city’s ravines, spending time outdoors in every season, and being supervised at all times by her dog, Koby — her most loyal (and least critical) first reader.

The Spy Who Kissed Me is available now, with more novels to follow.
