On Her Bookshelf

Unapologetic, chaotic, and completely off the rails, we are joined by the Incredible Jade May to celebrate her massive leap from indie publishing to Penguin with the Eden series! We are diving deep into Unleased by Eden, the realities of writing high-heat romance, the magic of dominant-yet-grounded dynamic writing, and why disability and chronic illness representation belongs front and centre in spicy happily-ever-afters. Plus, Jade shares fascinating insights from her past working behind the scenes at an escort agency, her absolute favourite tropes, and what wrong screams Violet and Carter. If you like your romance messy, intense, and soaked in tension, press play immediately.
