About Dora Porcaro

Photo of Dora Porcaro Steamy Contemporary Romance Author

Author of steamy contemporary romance with sass, substance, and soul.

Dora Porcaro writes the kind of love stories that sizzle on the page and linger in the heart. Her books are known for fiercely independent heroines, broody irresistible men, emotional depth, and that slow-burn payoff readers can’t stop talking about.

After a successful career in the legal and business world—including running a multi-award-winning conveyancing firm—Dora hung up her power suits and embraced the calling she’d carried since childhood: writing romance. Blame it on the piles of “kissing books” in her family home, her Italian roots, or her lifelong belief that a good love story can change everything.

Based in Melbourne, Australia, Dora writes full-time, crafting sexy, emotionally rich stories set against backdrops of European countries like Italy, and the occasional small-town escape. From grumpy billionaires and fiery heroines to found families and slow-burn tension, Dora’s books offer readers heart, heat, and a reminder that love is always worth the risk.

When not writing, Dora paints couples mid-kiss, cooks comfort food for unsuspecting guests, and swims in the bay year-round (yes, even in winter). She writes full time, eats too much pistacchio gelato, and considers Baci chocolates a legitimate love language.
