Frances Ashcroft is Professor of Physiology at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Trinity College. Her scientific research has garnered many awards. Having contributed to many learned journals and academic studies, she has also written for the uninitiated, non-specialist reader.

Jackie writes dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who’ve just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines.

She lives in Auckland, New Zealand, with her husband the inimitable Dr Jax and two kids. When she’s not torturing alpha males, she can be found drinking chocolate martinis, reading anything she can lay her hands on, wasting time on social media, or forced to mountain biking with her husband.
