Must Try Harder By Ashley Lincoln

What price would you pay for a life that is finally yours? 

England, 1983. Geraldine is twenty-two, stuck in her parents’ drab suburban home, aching to trade dead-end days for a future that pays—and a passion that ignites. Her best friend Gemma juggles single motherhood in a council flat, terrified to confide in anyone about the man who threatens her peace. And Mr. Gordon—exasperated teacher, sworn off both chalkboards and romance—finds himself drawn into their worlds when these two determined young women demand the lessons life never taught them.

Three voices. One charged journey through desire, discipline, and daring. As pleasure and pain blur, each must decide how far they are willing to go—and what scars they are prepared to bear—to break free. 

Rebuilt, re-edited, and unleashed under the Wingerworth Writers’ Imprint, Must Try Harder is an unapologetic erotic novel about fighting for your own destiny—no matter the cost.
