Lucy Leroux Books in Order (Updated March 30, 2026)

Lucy Leroux is a romance pen name used by L.B. Gilbert, and that matters when you build the reading order because some related paranormal books are published as L.B. Gilbert while others are credited to Lucy Leroux or both names together.

For most readers, the heart of the Lucy Leroux catalog is A Singular Obsession and Rogues and Rescuers. If you want the broader shared-author universe, you can then move into Spellbound Regency, Seven Families, and the L.B. Gilbert paranormal books that cross over more directly than a basic list might suggest.

Where to Start

1. Start with Making Her His if you want the clearest entry into Lucy Leroux’s core contemporary romantic suspense.
2. Move to Codename Romeo if you prefer a spin-off entry that is still grounded in the same wider romantic-suspense world but feels a little cleaner and later.
3. Choose Cursed if gothic paranormal Regency romance is the side of this author pairing that interests you most.
4. Pick To Hell and Back when you want the more overt paranormal lane first and do not mind stepping into the L.B. Gilbert side of the catalog.

The main Lucy Leroux reading path

A Singular Obsession

1. Making Her His (2014): The true starting point for Lucy Leroux’s main contemporary-romantic-suspense line, opening the series with obsession, family complications, and the alpha-protective tone that defines the rest.
2. Confiscating Charlie (2015): A short book 1.5 entry that expands the family-and-friends network, so it works best right after the opener rather than later.
3. Calen’s Captive (2015): A darker, danger-driven second full novel that pushes the series deeper into romantic suspense territory.
4. Take Me (2016): A book 2.5 novella that fits best in sequence because it uses the same connected cast and world.
5. Stolen Angel (2016): A boss-assistant romance with a mystery edge, continuing the series’ pattern of emotional intensity and outside threat.
6. The Roman’s Woman (2017): Keeps the same continuity web going while shifting focus to Gio and Sophia, making it more rewarding once the earlier group dynamics are already familiar.
7. Save Me (2018): A book 4.5 installment that belongs between books four and five for readers following the internal flow of the series.
8. Trick’s Trap (2018): A high-stakes later entry that leans into danger, attraction, and the connected-world feel of the series.
9. Peyton’s Price (2019): The sixth full novel and current endpoint of the main series, landing best after the earlier books have built all the emotional and relational history.

Optional omnibus

10. The Singular Obsession Collection: Books 1–6: A bundle for convenience, not a separate must-read if you are already reading the individual books.

Read this next if you want the spin-off branch

Rogues and Rescuers

1. Codename Romeo (2019): The best place to continue after A Singular Obsession, and a strong alternate entry if you want a later Lucy Leroux series with standalones tied together by shared-world suspense.
2. The Mercenary Next Door (2020): Expands the spin-off world with another protective, danger-adjacent romance that benefits from the tone established in book one.
3. Knight Takes Queen (2021): A CEO-and-agent pairing that keeps the same branded romantic-suspense setup moving.
4. The Millionaire’s Mechanic (2022): Continues the series with a rescue-on-the-run setup and fits naturally after the first three books.
5. The Billionaire Boss and The Barista (2024): Commonly listed as the fifth Rogues and Rescuers book and the current clean endpoint for the published series.
6. Burned Deep: Listed on the author site as Rogues and Rescuers book 5, but current catalog pages conflict with the placement of The Billionaire Boss and The Barista, so this one is safest to treat as a listed or in-progress/out-of-sequence entry until the numbering is clearer.

Optional omnibus

7. The Rogues and Rescuer’s Collection: Books 1–4: Useful if you want the first four books together, but not required separately.

The historical-paranormal side

Spellbound Regency

1. The Hex (2017): A standalone prequel short story that introduces the witchy atmosphere and can be read first if you want the full setup.
2. Cursed (2015): The real novel-length starting point for the series, blending Regency romance with dark supernatural tension.
3. Black Widow (2017): Continues the same paranormal Regency line and is best read after Cursed.
4. Haunted (2022): The third main book and current endpoint of the trilogy, closing out the line after a long gap.

Optional omnibus

5. The Complete Spellbound Regency Trilogy (2022): A convenience edition rather than separate required reading.

The books to separate from the main Lucy Leroux lane

These matter because they are by the same author identity, but they are better treated as adjacent rather than mandatory for a Lucy Leroux-only reading order.

Seven Families

1. To Hell and Back (2021): The opening book in this paranormal romance series, better placed after you already know that Lucy Leroux and L.B. Gilbert overlap as author identities.
2. Don’t Touch (2023): Continues the series and should be read second.

Shifter’s Claim

1. Kin Selection (2018, as L.B. Gilbert): The actual series opener, and the first place to go if you want the shifter branch in order.
2. Eat You Up (2019, by L.B. Gilbert and Lucy Leroux): The Lucy Leroux-linked second book, but not the right place to start the series itself.
3. Tooth and Nail (2020, as L.B. Gilbert): Continues the pack storyline.
4. The When-Witch and the Wolf (2024, by L.B. Gilbert and Lucy Leroux): The fourth entry, still better read after the earlier books.

The Elementals

1. Discordia (2018, book 0, as L.B. Gilbert): A prequel story for the series.
2. Fire (2015): The first full Elementals novel and the real entry point for readers starting this branch.
3. Air (2017): Continues the urban-fantasy/paranormal storyline.
4. Water (2018): Keeps the same arc moving with a new focal character.
5. Earth (2021): The fourth main novel and current listed endpoint.

Standalone or separate title

Forsaken (2024, as L.B. Gilbert): Best treated as separate from the main Lucy Leroux reading order rather than folded into one of the existing series.

A practical order for most readers

If you want the smoothest path through the Lucy Leroux material, use this order:

1. Making Her His
2. Continue A Singular Obsession in series order, including the in-between novellas
3. Codename Romeo
4. Continue Rogues and Rescuers through The Billionaire Boss and The Barista
5. Cursed
6. Continue Spellbound Regency
7. Move to To Hell and Back and Don’t Touch if you want the paranormal side
8. Only then branch into Shifter’s Claim and The Elementals if you want the full Lucy Leroux/L.B. Gilbert overlap

That route works best because it starts with the clearest Lucy Leroux identity first, then expands outward into the connected pen-name material.

If your taste leans paranormal first

A better route is:

1. Cursed
2. Black Widow
3. Haunted
4. To Hell and Back
5. Don’t Touch
6. Fire
7. Continue The Elementals
8. Then come back to Making Her His if you want the contemporary-suspense side afterward

Do you need a chronological order?

No.

For Lucy Leroux, series order is much more useful than trying to force everything into one chronology. The bigger issue is not timeline but pen-name overlap. Some books belong under Lucy Leroux, some under L.B. Gilbert, and a few shared-world entries are credited to both.

The newest Lucy Leroux-related books right now

The newest clearly dated Lucy Leroux-branded novel commonly listed in a main series is The Billionaire Boss and The Barista (2024).

On the author site, Burned Deep is also listed under Rogues and Rescuers, but its exact status and numbering are less stable across catalog sources, so it is safer to flag it as a current listed title rather than a cleanly settled next book.

Questions readers usually ask

What is the best Lucy Leroux book to start with?

For most readers, Making Her His is still the best first book because it opens the main contemporary-romantic-suspense series.

Do I need to read Rogues and Rescuers after A Singular Obsession?

That is the best route if you want the connected-world experience, because Rogues and Rescuers is commonly described as a spin-off.

Is Lucy Leroux the same person as L.B. Gilbert?

Yes. Lucy Leroux is a pen name used by L.B. Gilbert, which is why some related series sit partly under one name and partly under the other.

Should I include the L.B. Gilbert books in a Lucy Leroux order?

Only if you want the fuller pen-name universe. For a simpler Lucy Leroux page, you can keep A Singular Obsession, Rogues and Rescuers, and Spellbound Regency as the core.

Final recommendation

If you want one clean answer, start with Making Her His and read A Singular Obsession first.

After that, move to Rogues and Rescuers. Then decide whether you want the historical-paranormal route in Spellbound Regency or the broader L.B. Gilbert crossover material.
