Hi, I’m MJ Allen!

I’m a romance author from the Garden State (go birds).

I love writing contemporary romance that hurts before it heals. My stories will always feature a strong heroine, a man that’s completely devoted to her, and a dreamy romance to root for.

I like to write about delicate topics in my books such as women’s unpaid labor, gender dynamics, misogyny, enmeshment, and mental health.

My favorite tropes to write are friends to lovers, second chance, and marriage-in-trouble.

When I’m not writing, I can be found with my husband and our two cats.

Thank you so much for being here!
