Mercedes Ron was born in Argentina in 1993 and raised in Spain, where she began publishing on Wattpad before transitioning to traditional publishing. Her Culpable series — originally titled Culpa mia in Spanish — was first published officially in 2017, and the English translations released in 2023 brought her international audience to match her already large Spanish-language readership. The Amazon Prime adaptation of the first book became one of the platform’s most-watched non-English productions, a success that reflected the series’ deep hold on its core audience.
The New York Times bestseller status and three million copies sold represent the scale of that readership, which found her through social media and platform fiction long before the mainstream English-language market caught up. Her books follow the conventions of new adult romance — forbidden attraction, class dynamics, emotional conflict — but with an intensity that keeps readers invested through the complete arc of each series.
The Tell Me series, beginning in 2025, continues in the same emotional register with a new cast and a new set of complications.
