Jessica Ashley - Christian Romantic Suspense Author

About Me

Hi! I’m Jessica Ashley, a three-time award-winning author of Christian romantic suspense where protective heroes, high-stakes danger, and swoony romance collide—without the spice.

I write stories for readers who want the intensity of suspense and the depth of romance, all grounded in faith, hope, and redemption. Because even in the darkest moments, God is still at work.

When I’m not writing, I’m homeschooling my three kids, baking homemade bread, or sneaking quiet moments with my husband in our New Hampshire home.

My stories are filled with danger, devotion, and faith that holds fast—because what we read matters.

What I Write

At the heart of every story I tell is the belief that love and faith can triumph even in life’s most dangerous moments. My novels are more than just page-turners—they’re journeys where characters wrestle with fear, secrets, and the shadows of their past while discovering God’s unshakable grace. If you’re looking for stories that combine pulse-pounding suspense, tender romance, and a message of hope, you’re in the right place.

Genre and Style: Romantic suspense with a Christian and inspirational lens. Clean romance with emotional intensity, mysterious danger, secrets from the past, small town or close-knit community settings.
Core Themes: Faith in Jesus Christ, empathy, understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, grace, healing, and the power of love to restore what was broken.
Tone and Voice: Heartfelt, uplifting, with just enough tension to keep you turning pages and always leaving you with a smile.

Another wonderful book

Another wonderful book from Jessica Ashley. We learn more about these brave men alongside the relationship between Sawyer and Anastasia. While there is danger and confusion and love just like her other books, this novel unfolds in a different way, and it carries a twist you will not see coming. As I read about Sawyer's faith journey, I was reminded that even in the ordinary, daily struggles of life, we simply need to "be still and know". Seal of Courage will captivate you and move you. You will not be disappointed.
I was provided an advanced ARC of the book;all opinions are mine.

Thrilling

Fast paced action and thrills. Another great book from Jessica Ashley!

Book Club must read!

I absolutely loved this book (and the entire Coastal Hope series). I chose this book for my pick in book club and everyone loved it! It gives Nicholas Sparks "Safe Haven" vibes and had so much action that I think my husband will enjoy it.

This book stirred up some great conversation for book club. I love how it asked the question that is so often asked of us as christians.... if God is real, why do bad things happen to good people? We talked about how God doesn't let you down, people do (Lance's words). It opened up the door for great conversation and gave great perspective for those who are asking the hard questions.

This book is filled with swoony romance (but no spice!) and so much suspense. The girls in book club were happy to learn there are options for Christian women wanting the romance without compromise. I highly recommend this book to all!!

Hi, Staci! Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so happy that your book club enjoyed the book!

Lovely story !

This is one of the books you read when you are looking for a sweet and real connection between characters. And when you have all the action and suspense even better !! Most of all, I appreciate very much the faith based factor of the story. I dont have to worry about spice romance and I can appreciate the honor and reverance it is given to God.

Lima

This was a wonderful ending story to the series. It is always bittersweet to leave a family. I hope Jessica continues writing stories that intertwine the different characters in her different series. Highly recommend.
