Dependencies & Notes
- Publication order means first known publication year, not the author’s preferred timeline.
- Chronological order means the author’s current reading sequence for connected historical romance titles.
- Read The Whickertons in Love before Flames of Winter and Lass of Legend for cameo and callback continuity.
- Read Flames of Winter before Lass of Legend because Lass of Legend follows a character thread introduced through Flames of Winter.
- Love’s Second Chance has a complicated internal order. The author’s reading order is safer than publication order.
- Happy Ever Regency can be read as its own group, but it also fits inside the broader Regency catalog.
- Forbidden Love has older novella titles and newer active titles. Do not count both sets as completely separate storylines without checking the edition.
- The Whickertons in Love prequels are optional for a first pass, but useful for completionist reading.
- Collections and anthologies are listed separately when they include shared or bundled material.
