Rachel Belrose has three degrees collecting dust and a talent for avoiding every one of them. She’s worked retail, hospitality, and real estate—and firmly believes the world would be a much better place if everyone had to survive a Black Friday waitressing shift and clean a public restroom at least once.

Even when she was serving bad coffee from behind the counter of a convenience store or selling houses, her heart always belonged to storytelling. Rachel got her start in the fanfiction world, spending nearly two decades dabbling in messy drama, slow-burn tension, and characters making all the wrong choices before finally getting it right. Eventually, she decided it was time to write her own small-town stories—
full of fun, feels, and fiery romance.

Today, she writes swoony, blue-collar men, emotionally tangled heroines, and the kind of spicy scenes that might make your grandma clutch your pearls (in the best way).

When she’s not writing, she’s probably ignoring the dishes like they personally offended her, playing cozy games with her husband and sons, smothering her pets with unwanted affection, or leaning fully into her granny era with crochet and (aspirational) knitting.
No, she doesn’t sell her creations on Etsy. But if she did, they’d be made with love, the cheapest yarn available, and zero guarantees on symmetry.

Thank you for stopping by! And if you’re here for the drama, the desire, and a few delightfully bad decisions—then, sweetie, you’re in the right place.
