Reading Order

UPDATED 2025:

There are two lists below. The first is a reading order indicting where my London-based Christmas books slot into the timeline of my series set in Cornwall.
You can absolutely enjoy those holiday romances without reading any of my other titles.


The second list includes individual series in strict publication order. 

​

The American-set books are the oldest. After Ben is my multi-award winning debut novel, and is the highest on the angst scale.

​

Each of my following series set in the UK can standalone while also having interlinked characters and locations. If you enjoy angst and slow burn romances, start with His Horizon and read onwards. 

​

If you prefer a lighter and yet still emotional read, start with Charles. Many readers enjoy starting at this point and then jumping back to my earlier British titles once they have finished the Learning to Love series.

​

My advice? Read whatever takes your fancy. I love each character, and can never resist revisiting the worlds they inhabit.
