About this site

ByEllen.blog is the home of Smart Dark Mafia Romance — a genre I’m shaping at the crossroads of danger, desire, and meaning. Here, you’ll find stories that keep you up at night, but also linger in your thoughts long after you turn the last page.

This blog is more than updates — it’s a space where readers can step inside Noor City, explore behind-the-scenes notes on my books, and dive deeper into the truths that power the romance: survival, trust, family, and the gray spaces between love and power.

Launched in 2025 by Ellen Bellmare, this publication blends the pulse of dark mafia romance with the reflection of timeless storytelling. Whether you’re here for the tropes, the twists, or the deeper messages woven through every chapter, you’re in the right place.

By subscribing, you’ll unlock early chapters, exclusive essays, and insights into the craft of writing stories that are both thrilling and thought-provoking.
