Connected Books

While most of my books can be read as standalones (or at least make sense within their own series), the majority of my Contemporary books do take place in the same town. The college campus (State University), the Interesting Apartments (Whitehall Apartments), The Leashes and Lace Building, The Bound and Controlled Club, and BJ’s Bar all exist within an hour or two of each other. It affords me lots of space for fun cameos and connections in the books that avid readers can spot and enjoy.

This page features different lists of how some of the books overlap and connect in different ways. It’s not necessary to read these series in these specific order(s) but if you enjoy spotting cameos and references to locations these lists give you a great place to start.

Loving Series and Pieces Series

These two series start out as MM pairings. The series start to overlap and eventually Loving Series turns into MMMM. Here is the suggested reading order for these two series to make the most sense of their overlapping characters and plot.
