Dependencies & Notes

  • Publication order means first known release year by title, not the current retailer display order.
  • Vines has year variation across bibliography sources. Some listings use 2016, while other retail and database listings use 2017.
  • Read Carpino in numbered order for family and relationship continuity.
  • Read The Killers in numbered order. Until the Tequila and The Tequila are useful for completionist reading.
  • Read The Killers before Killers Next Generation for cleaner generational context.
  • Read Bad Situation before Broken Halo and Betrayed Love because The Montgomerys is a connected family series.
  • Read The Agents in release order because character and suspense continuity build across the series.
  • Blackburn belongs to Susan Stoker’s Special Forces: Operation Alpha world. It is not required for Asher’s main single-author series.
  • Love Me to Death is part of the Dillon Sisters duet project; Damaged is by Layla Frost.
  • Royal Desire and Butterfly Proposal are scheduled titles as of June 15, 2026.
