Mv Ellis

Hey there, beautiful bookworms! I'm MV Ellis, and I write the kind of steamy, angsty romance that would make your grandmother clutch her pearls. (Sorry, Nana, but someone's gotta do it!)

You know those perfectly polished, Instagram-worthy love stories where everything works out just right? Yeah, that's not what you'll find in my books. I write about the messy stuff – the lies we tell ourselves, the masks we wear, and all those deliciously complicated feelings we're supposed to ignore. Because let's be real: the best stories come from our darkest truths.

My journey into writing wasn't exactly a straight path (is anything in life ever that simple?). I spent years working in corporate marketing, crafting other people's stories while my own characters screamed in my head at 3 AM. Finally, I decided enough was enough. If I was going to lose sleep over these characters anyway, I might as well write their stories down.

When "Fake You" burst onto the scene, I knew I'd found my groove. College bully romance with enemies-to-lovers tension so thick you could cut it with a knife? Sign me up! Drew and his story of family lies, betrayal, and finding real love in a world of fake everything – that book practically wrote itself. (Okay, that's a total lie. I went through approximately 47 bottles of wine and countless sleepless nights, but who's counting?)

My writing style? Think dark chocolate with a hint of chili – sweet enough to make you crave more, but with enough kick to keep you on your toes. I love exploring those grey areas where right and wrong blur together, where the "villain" might just be the hero in disguise, and where love isn't always pretty but it's always worth fighting for.

Fair warning: if you're looking for cookie-cutter romance where everyone behaves themselves and follows the rules, you might want to look elsewhere. My characters are messy, complicated, and sometimes downright problematic. They make bad decisions, say the wrong things, and occasionally make you want to throw your Kindle across the room. (Please don't actually throw your Kindle – those things are expensive!)

When I'm not torturing my characters (and by extension, my readers), you'll find me binge-watching true crime documentaries, spoiling my rescue dog rotten, or adding to my already ridiculous collection of coffee mugs. Yes, I'm that person who needs caffeine to function, and no, I'm not sorry about it.

What can you expect from my books? Raw emotion. Intense chemistry. Characters who feel so real they might as well be sitting next to you. And dialogue that'll make you snort-laugh at the worst possible moments. (Don't say I didn't warn you about reading in public!)

To my amazing readers – you're the reason I keep pushing boundaries and diving deeper into these complex stories. Your messages about staying up all night to finish "just one more chapter" make all those 3 AM writing sessions worth it. And yes, I read every single review (even the ones that make me want to hide under my desk).

I believe romance should be more than just a happily ever after – it should be a journey that makes you feel everything. The anger, the passion, the heartbreak, and yes, eventually, the love. Because in the end, isn't that what we're all looking for? Stories that remind us it's okay to be imperfect, it's okay to be broken, and it's definitely okay to fall for the wrong person... who might just turn out to be exactly right.

So if you're ready for a romance that's going to push your buttons, challenge your expectations, and maybe make you a little uncomfortable (in the best way possible), you're in the right place. Welcome to my world of complicated hearts and beautiful disasters.

P.S. - Yes, I absolutely do read my emails while hiding in my closet from my characters. They can be very demanding sometimes!
