Welcome to Sweetheart, Texas
Seven ranches.
Seven legends.
Seven love stories.

Hey there, and welcome!
However you found your way here, I’m so glad you made it!
I’m Leanna Ellis, and I write sweet, swoony (at least I think so), firmly closed-door romances filled with small towns, heartfelt moments, family chaos, laughter, second chances, and happily-ever-afters you can count on.
My stories are meant to be shared—with grandmothers, daughters, and the women friends in between. They’re stories about community, hope, and finding joy even in messy seasons of life. ☕
Around here, the coffee’s hot, the pie is homemade, and somebody usually says something they probably shouldn’t. 😉
✨Featured Series: Sweetheart, Texas ✨
Welcome to Sweetheart, Texas—where legends linger, hearts heal slowly, and the biscuits and gravy are always homemade.
The Sweetheart, Texas series is filled with cowboys, close-knit families, small-town traditions, and heartfelt romance wrapped in humor, hope, and second chances.
🤠 Start with The Broken Heart Ranch, where a reluctant bride, a ranch in trouble, and the boy who once broke her heart discover that sometimes love deserves another chance.
☕ Love Small-Town RomComs?
If bookstores, pie shops, weddings, and quirky small-town charm are more your style, you’ll love my Storybrook novels.
Begin with The Wedding Run, the first book in a four-book series about sisters, a mysterious letter from their mother, and the love stories that follow.
Or step into The Love Note Series with The Write Love, also set in Storybrook, Georgia—where bookstores matter, neighbors know your name, and even a Blind Date with a Book event can change everything.
❤️ These feel-good romantic comedies blend laughter, heartfelt emotion, slow-burn romance, and the reminder that sometimes love arrives through the most unexpected words… written, shared, and saved.
If you’ve got a new book to read, I understand! Get after it. But if you want to hang out a while longer, you’re welcome to join my Love, Life & Laughter newsletter—a welcoming community of readers who love heartfelt stories, small towns, and happily-ever-afters.
As a thank-you for stopping by the front porch, you’ll receive a FREE bonus prologue from The Wedding Letter series, along with behind-the-scenes peeks, new release news, recipes, laughter, and stories meant to lift your heart.
Whether you’re here for a new book, a good laugh, or just a little escape, I hope you find a place that feels like home. If you’ve got a book to read, get after it! Or hang out
With love, life, and laughter (not always in that order),
Leanna ❤️
