Welcome!
My name is Cissy Mecca, formerly Bella Michaels, and I write steamy small town romance. With three series and one standalone, it can sometimes be confusing, deciding where to start, so I've created a reading order here. If you need help, or want to chat with me and other readers, come say hello in my private reader grou, The Mecca, on Facebook. I hope to see you there!
If you're new to me, grab a free prequel novella to my first series by subscribing to my weekly newsletter.
