Author bio
Chelle Bliss is the pen name of romance author Rachelle Roma. She grew up in Ohio and spent her first thirty years in the Midwest before trading snow for palm trees and moving to Florida in 2007. That shift shows up in her books a lot, characters chasing warmth, rebuilding their lives, and figuring out what “home” should look like.
Before writing became her full time job, she worked in education for more than a decade, including teaching high school history. She began writing fiction while she was still teaching, and using a pen name let her keep that creative life separate from the classroom.
Her breakout world is the Gallo family.
Bliss launched her career with Throttle Me in 2014, kicking off the Men of Inked romances, built around a tight knit Italian American family and the tattoo shop that keeps pulling everyone back together. Follow ups like Hook Me, Resist Me, and Uncover Me keep the focus on big chemistry and bigger family dynamics, with each couple fighting their way to a happily ever after. The books are steeped in Florida heat, tattoo shop chaos, and the kind of sibling banter that feels like a real group text you’re reading over someone’s shoulder.
If you like your romance with a loud family dinner scene, she gets it.
As the Inked universe grew, she pushed outward into spinoffs and connected series that keep the same family-first energy but play with different settings and stakes. Men of Inked: Heatwave adds motorcycles and danger around the edges, and it widens the circle to friends and next generation characters. Men of Inked Sinners leans into messier choices, higher angst, and characters who are trying hard not to fall. And the Open Road books follow motorcycle club men who take loyalty seriously and don’t look away when someone needs help.
She also writes romantic suspense, where the relationship develops alongside a case that has real consequences. The ALFA Investigations books, starting with Sinful Intent, mix steamy romance with investigations, close calls, and the kind of teamwork that forces two people to trust each other before they’re ready. It’s the same big-feelings approach, just with sharper edges and higher stakes.
Bliss doesn’t stay in one lane for long. She has co-written the political romance trilogy that begins with Dirty Work, and she has dipped into shared world projects like Misadventures with a Speed Demon, a quick, high heat standalone built for a weekend binge. Even when the setting changes, she tends to keep the spotlight on the couple and the emotional turning point that finally makes them honest.
Across her backlist, a few things show up again and again: fierce loyalty, messy families who still show up, and characters in their thirties who are tired of pretending they have it all handled. Her heroes tend to be protective and a little relentless. Her heroines are capable, stubborn, and allowed to want what they want, on and off the page. Readers who like explicit heat, fast pacing, and a strong found-family vibe usually feel right at home.
These days she lives near the Gulf of Mexico, close enough to the beach to complain about the sand, and she continues to write full time. If you’re new to her work, starting with the Gallos is the easiest way in, but there’s a whole web of connected romances waiting once you decide which corner of her world feels like home.
