When Ellie Bravo loses her prestigious London job and walks away from a relationship that no longer sets her heart on fire, she has nothing left to lose, or so she thinks. Determined to start again, she trades the familiar streets of London for a fresh beginning as marketing manager at a struggling IT firm. What she doesn’t expect is to find a woman who will turn her carefully rebuilt world upside down.

Maria is everything Ellie never knew she was searching for: captivating, intelligent, and impossible to resist. There’s just one problem. Maria is married, has a child, and belongs to a world Ellie has no right to disrupt. But some connections are too powerful to ignore, and what begins as an innocent attraction soon ignites into a passionate, all-consuming affair.

Caught between the intoxicating pull of forbidden love and the devastating consequences of following her heart, Ellie faces a choice that could cost her everything—her job, her career, and the professional reputation she’s worked so hard to build. Yet walking away from Maria might be the one thing she simply cannot do.

When Maria’s husband discovers their secret, desire gives way to danger. His determination to punish Ellie knows no bounds, and he’s prepared to use every weapon at his disposal to destroy her life. Suddenly, Ellie is fighting for far more than the woman she loves. She’s fighting for her freedom, her future, and the right to live and love on her own terms.

But Ellie Bravo isn’t the kind of woman who runs from a fight. With her Harley, her meaningful tattoo, and a fierce spirit that refuses to be broken, she’s ready to take on anyone who stands between her and the life she dares to dream of. Even when the stakes are heartbreakingly high, Ellie must discover whether true love is worth risking everything for, and whether a fairytale can survive when the world turns against you.

Passionate, provocative, and packed with unexpected twists, Ellie Bravo: A Fairytale Romance is a contemporary LGBTQ+ romance about forbidden desire, the courage to be yourself, and the extraordinary power of a love that refuses to be denied.

Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston, J.T. Geissinger, R.S. Grey, and Sierra Simone, this is a story of stolen moments, irresistible chemistry, workplace intrigue, and dangerous obsession—where the road to happily-ever-after is anything but simple, and the greatest love story might just begin when everything else falls apart.

"A well written brilliantly descriptive story of love."

"Really enjoyed the story and the style of writing. Only complaint was it was too short..."

"This certainly is much more than a love story! I really love the character of Ellie - her vulnerability and her strength plus she knows how to get a job done and deal with difficult people. One of the things I always look for in a book is that the authors understand the subjects they are writing about and have researched thoroughly. Every aspect of this book is well researched - I feel like I know this part of Ireland without ever visiting - the descriptions are really good! As with the other books I have read, Janet Pywell has produced a very entertaining read which I would totally recommend."
