Readers don't pick books. They pick doors. Here are the four I've built — and which one made you stop is all the reading order you actually need.
Door one 🖤
He bought her at a dinner she wasn't invited to.
If that line got you, you want the cold ones — marriage of convenience, contracts signed in other people's blood, and a man who treats wanting something as a structural weakness. That's the Blackthorne Dynasty: gothic, patient, a hundred-year grudge running under three love stories.
Start: The Blackthorne Bargain — the prequel, free. Then The Vow.
Door two 🩸
She spent nineteen years planning his family's ruin — then met the one they buried.
That's the enemies-to-lovers door, for readers who want the war before the wanting, and who need the grovel to cost something. It runs right through both dynasties, but it burns hottest in The Blackthorne Heir.
Start: The Blackthorne Vow — the Heir hits harder if you've watched the family win first.
Door three 🪦
She signed her life away to save her brother. She didn't read the fine print.
That's the mafia door — Solenne Harbor, the Heirs of the Black Dynasty, five books of contract marriages, forced proximity, and morally grey men who keep their word in the worst possible way. Newer, faster, more knives.
Start: What the Harbor Holds — the prequel, free. Then The Widow Contract.
Door four ⚜️
She married him to end a war, and she counted every dollar of it for thirty years.
This is the big one, and it is not like the other three. ALL SAINTS is a ten-book New Orleans dark mafia saga told in a single voice across thirty years — 1997 to 2026, 737,000 words, finished. An undertaker's daughter marries the man who runs the port to stop the bodies, and then spends three decades keeping a ledger nobody was supposed to keep. Slow, patient, brutal, and built to be read in order.
Start: The First Treaty — the prequel, free. It is 1964, it is the marriage before hers, and it changes how you read everything after. Then Book One, THE TREATY.
Read this one with your eyes open: ALL SAINTS is a saga, not a standalone romance. The love story is real and it holds, but Book Ten ends on the truth rather than a bow. Full content notes are on every product page.
Can't choose?
All three prequels are free, and they're free for a reason — if the first chapter doesn't get you, nothing I say will. Take all three, read a chapter of each tonight, and let whichever one keeps you up decide.
The Blackthorne and Heirs novels are 🌶️🌶️🌶️ open door with an HEA, and free to read with a Kindle Unlimited membership. ALL SAINTS is a store exclusive — it isn't on Kindle Unlimited, and the full ten-book bundle lives here. Full content warnings on each product page. 18+.
