MEET THE AUTHOR BEHIND IT ALL

I’m L.A. Belle, writer, single mom, chaos manager, and professional heartbreaker (on the page, at least).
I write love stories that bruise before they bloom, the kind that keep you up at night, screaming at fictional people who feel a little too real.
This shelf is where I keep the slow burns, the sharp tongues, the messy emotions, and the stories that won’t let go. Not always soft. Not always safe. But always unforgettable.
Welcome to my little corner of mayhem and romance.
Read at your own risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is The Belle’s Shelf?
The Belle’s Shelf is the official home of all my published stories. This is the only place where you can purchase and read my full-length books directly from me, the author. I created this space to give you a cozy, clutter-free reading experience without ads, algorithms, or distractions.
Are the books available anywhere else?
No. You won’t find my stories on Wattpad, Amazon, or any other store. This website is the exclusive home for all my full-length works. Bonus chapters, one-shots, and early access extras are only available through myPatreonfor subscribed readers.
How do I buy a book?
Simply browse the stories listed on the homepage or shop section, click on the title you want, and complete checkout securely. Once your payment is confirmed, you'll receive instant access to download the ebook in EPUB format—perfect for iPhones (Books app), Android (Lithium, ReadEra), or any e-reader that supports EPUB.
I bought a book but didn’t get an email or download link. What should I do?
Please check your spam or promotions folder first. If it’s not there, contact me via the contact form or email and I’ll sort it out quickly.
Can I get a refund?
Due to the digital nature of ebooks, all sales are final. But if you experience a technical issue, reach out—I’ll always do my best to fix it.
When will I get my order?

All of my books are delivered as digital downloads—no waiting on the postman, no lost packages. The moment your payment is complete, you’ll receive a direct download link right on the confirmation page, and a copy will be emailed to you as well.

If you don’t see it right away, give it a minute or check your spam/junk folder just in case. Still nothing? Reach out via the [Contact Me] page and I’ll make sure you get your copy.
Are your books appropriate for all ages?
No. My work is written for adults and often includes mature themes, strong language, and explicit content. Please read the trigger warnings and summaries before purchasing.
What kind of stories do you write?
My writing blends romance with grit, tenderness with heat. You’ll find age gaps, morally grey men, complicated heroines, and deep emotional tension. Some stories are sweet and slowburn, others are dark and dangerous, but all of them are honest, intense, and character-driven.
Do you offer PDFs or other formats?
At the moment, only EPUB files are available. EPUBs are the most mobile-friendly format, especially on phones and tablets. If you need help opening the file, check the reading guide included with your purchase.
