- The main historical romance trilogies can be read independently from one another.
- The Sea Witch begins a separate romantasy line and does not require the Regency titles.
- Seduced by the Werewolf Highwaymen begins Den of Thieves and should not be placed inside Salt & Sorcery unless later official listings connect them.
- Across the Burning Sea is listed as an upcoming Eva Leigh novel, but current checked sources do not give a stable series placement.
- Dare to Love a Duke has 2018 and 2019 date variation across catalog listings. Keep it after Counting on a Countess and before My Fake Rake.
- Eva Leigh and Zoë Archer are linked pen names, but this page treats Eva Leigh as the main index scope.
