Ashley Brooks-Hayes

Boutique owner

Ashley has her own boutique, a longstanding friendship with Fatima, and eight years of marriage to Marcus when Chapter One begins. Financial records force her to examine decisions she thought were shared. She seeks independent advice while deciding how much trust can be repaired. Toxic Loyalty — Ashley and Brianna test a more modest growth plan for the boutique while Marcus and David weigh options for the agency. The numbers matter to her staff as well as her household, and her own business decisions test how well she hears unwelcome advice.
