Ivory Fields Books in Order (Updated April 2, 2026)

Ivory Fields writes clean, wholesome romance and women’s fiction, and her catalogue is built much more like a shelf of mini-series than a traditional author bibliography. Most of the books are published in compact six-book runs, often with the same main title and numbered installments, so the safest way to read her is by series rather than by one author-wide chronology.

For most readers, there are two practical truths. First, start at book one of whichever setting appeals to you most. Second, do not let the omnibus editions confuse the order, because those are format bundles, not extra story steps.

How to read Ivory Fields

Instead of one “best” universal order, Ivory Fields is easier to read in lanes:

1. Beach-town starter lane: begin with Myrtle Beach
2. Winter/holiday starter lane: begin with A Winter to Remember
3. Newer 2025 coastal lane: begin with Carolina Sunsets, Shoreline Secrets, or Tides of the Heart
4. Newest active 2026 lane: begin with Forever Home or Starting Over Romance

If you are brand new to the author, Myrtle Beach is the safest opening series because it is one of the earliest clearly documented six-book runs and remains one of the most visible in her catalogue.

The core early beach and seasonal series

Myrtle Beach

1. The House by the Ocean, Book One (2022): The cleanest starting point for Ivory Fields’ early beach-fiction style, opening the Myrtle Beach setting and its healing-through-place arc.
2. The House by the Ocean, Book Two (2022): Continues the same Myrtle Beach line, so it works best immediately after book one rather than as a standalone entry.
3. The House by the Ocean, Book Three (2022): Keeps the series moving inside the same setting, making publication order the easiest way to preserve continuity.
4. The House by the Ocean, Book Four (2022): Deepens the same beach-town thread and is best read once the first half of the run is already in place.
5. The House by the Ocean, Book Five (2022): A later-series installment that works best after the world and relationships already feel familiar.
6. The House by the Ocean, Book Six (2022): The end of the six-book Myrtle Beach run and the right place to stop before moving to another series.

This is one of the clearest entry points in the catalogue and a strong starting place for readers who want Ivory Fields in her most established coastal mode.

Newport Breeze

1. A Winter Stay, Book One (2023): Opens a winter-focused series and is the right first stop if you want a colder seasonal setting instead of a summer beach town.
2. A Winter Stay, Book Two (2023): Continues the same Newport Breeze framework, so it makes more sense as a second step than as a fresh beginning.
3. A Winter Stay, Book Three (2023): Keeps building the same seasonal line, rewarding readers who stay with the series in order.
4. A Winter Stay, Book Four (2023): A later entry that fits best once the tone and setting are already familiar.
5. A Winter Stay, Book Five (2023): Extends the run without changing the core formula, so publication order remains the safest choice.
6. A Winter Stay, Book Six (2023): Closes the Newport Breeze series and works best as the capstone to the full six-book sequence.

A Winter to Remember

1. Christmas By The Shore, Book One: Starts one of the holiday-centered Ivory Fields series, making it the correct first read for Christmas-focused readers.
2. Christmas By The Shore, Book Two: Continues the same holiday lane and lands better when the first book has already set the emotional tone.
3. Christmas By The Shore, Book Three: Keeps the series moving inside the same seasonal world rather than resetting it.
4. Christmas By The Shore, Book Four: A later-series Christmas entry that benefits from the setup already in place.
5. Christmas By The Shore, Book Five: Works best once the series’ recurring rhythm is already familiar.
6. Christmas By The Shore, Book Six: Finishes the six-book holiday run and is best saved for last.

This is the best lane for readers who want Ivory Fields specifically for warm holiday romance.

The 2024 town-and-homecoming wave

Small Town Hearts

1. The Sunset Shores, Book One (2024): Opens the series with a family-secret and small-town setup, making it the proper entry point for this run.
2. The Sunset Shores, Book Two (2024): Continues the same story world, so it fits naturally as the second read rather than a separate starting place.
3. The Sunset Shores, Book Three (2024): Keeps the series inside the same emotional and place-based continuity.
4. The Sunset Shores, Book Four (2024): A later installment that works better once the town already feels known.
5. The Sunset Shores, Book Five (2024): Extends the same six-book arc and is best kept in order.
6. The Sunset Shores, Book Six (2024): Closes the Small Town Hearts run and belongs at the end of the sequence.

Orange City Beach

1. The Way Back Home 1 (2024): Starts another six-book coastal line, with a title that signals its homecoming-and-reinvention focus.
2. The Way Back Home 2 (2024): Continues the same Orange City Beach run and should follow book one directly.
3. The Way Back Home 3 (2024): Keeps the same setting and tone moving forward in order.
4. The Way Back Home 4 (2024): A later-series step that benefits from prior investment in the beach-town setup.
5. The Way Back Home 5 (2024): Best read as part of the full run rather than pulled out on its own.
6. The Way Back Home 6 (2024): Finishes the Orange City Beach series and gives the natural stopping point for that lane.

A Place to Belong

1. A Kiss Beneath The Pines, Book One: Opens this six-book sequence with a cozy-town setup and the emotional hook that carries the rest of the run.
2. A Kiss Beneath The Pines, Book Two: Continues the same series world and works best after book one.
3. A Kiss Beneath The Pines, Book Three: Builds on the same tone and location instead of functioning like a detached standalone.
4. A Kiss Beneath The Pines, Book Four: A later-series installment that lands better once the town already feels established.
5. A Kiss Beneath The Pines, Book Five: Keeps the continuity intact, so publication order remains the safest rule.
6. A Kiss Beneath The Pines, Book Six: Closes the series and should be saved for the end of this lane.

These three 2024-era series are best treated as separate tracks rather than as one connected mega-series.

The 2025 coastal mystery-and-family cluster

Carolina Sunsets

1. The Coastal Inheritance, Book One (2025): Opens the series with an inheritance-and-secrets setup, making it one of the stronger newer entry points in the catalogue.
2. The Coastal Inheritance, Book Two (2025): Continues the same Carolina Sunsets line and is best read directly after book one.
3. The Coastal Inheritance, Book Three (2025): Deepens the same coast-and-family framework rather than launching a separate story world.
4. The Coastal Inheritance, Book Four (2025): A middle-to-late-series entry that works better once the broader inheritance thread is already familiar.
5. The Coastal Inheritance, Book Five (2025): Best saved until the earlier books have done the setup work.
6. The Coastal Inheritance, Book Six (2025): Closes the Carolina Sunsets run and belongs at the end of that sequence.

Shoreline Secrets

1. The Seaside Bookshop, Book One (2025): Opens a cozy mystery–leaning beach-town line and is the proper start for readers who want a slightly more intrigue-driven Ivory Fields series.
2. The Seaside Bookshop, Book Two (2025): Continues the same bookshop-and-secrets framework, so it fits naturally after book one.
3. The Seaside Bookshop, Book Three (2025): Keeps the same cozy setting and mystery thread moving forward in order.
4. The Seaside Bookshop, Book Four (2025): A later-series entry that benefits from already knowing the world and characters.
5. The Seaside Bookshop, Book Five (2025): Works best as part of the full six-book sequence rather than a random standalone pick.
6. The Seaside Bookshop, Book Six (2025): Ends the Shoreline Secrets run and is best read last.

Tides of the Heart

1. One Summer at Cape Charles 1 (2025): Opens a six-book summer line built around family, friendship, and romance, making it the correct first stop for this branch.
2. One Summer at Cape Charles 2 (2025): Continues the same Cape Charles thread and reads best after book one.
3. One Summer at Cape Charles 3 (2025): Keeps the continuity moving inside the same setting.
4. One Summer at Cape Charles 4 (2025): A later installment that benefits from having the earlier books behind it.
5. One Summer at Cape Charles 5 (2025): Best read in sequence as the run approaches its close.
6. One Summer at Cape Charles 6 (2025): The final book in the Tides of the Heart sequence and the natural stopping point.

If you want the “current” Ivory Fields catalogue rather than the earliest one, these three 2025 lanes are the best place to browse next.

The newest currently surfaced 2025-2026 holiday and reinvention lines

Evergreen

1. The Blue Ridge Christmas Cabin, Book One (2025): Opens a six-book holiday series set around Christmas atmosphere and hidden clues, making it a strong new seasonal entry point.
2. The Blue Ridge Christmas Cabin, Book Two (2025): Continues the same festive mountain line and should follow book one.
3. The Blue Ridge Christmas Cabin, Book Three (2025): Keeps the same holiday framework moving without resetting the world.
4. The Blue Ridge Christmas Cabin, Book Four (2025): A later-series entry that benefits from earlier setup.
5. The Blue Ridge Christmas Cabin, Book Five (2025): Best read once the rest of the run already feels established.
6. The Blue Ridge Christmas Cabin, Book Six (2025): Finishes the Evergreen series and belongs at the end.

Forever Home

1. The Snowberry Inn, Book One (2026): Opens the new six-book Forever Home line and is the proper place to start this newest inn-centered series.
2. The Snowberry Inn, Book Two (2026): Continues the same setting and should follow immediately after book one.

2. The Old Flame 2 (2026): Continues the same run and is best read after book one.
3. The Old Flame 3 (2026): Keeps the same continuity moving inside the series.
4. The Old Flame 4 (2026): A later-series installment that works best in sequence.
5. The Old Flame 5 (2026): Best saved until the earlier books have established the full emotional pattern.
6. The Old Flame 6 (2026): Closes the Starting Over Romance run and should be read last.

These are the most current series clusters I could verify, and they show that Ivory Fields is still publishing in tightly structured six-book sequences.

Optional box sets and omnibus editions

Ivory Fields also has complete-series editions such as House by the Ocean, Merry at the Inn: The Complete Series, Christmas By The Shore: The Complete Series, and The Beach House With You: The Complete Series. These are convenience editions only, not separate reading-order steps.

The best places to start

• Best overall starting point: The House by the Ocean, Book One. It is early, visible, and easy to follow into a full six-book run.
• Best holiday starting point: Christmas By The Shore, Book One or The Blue Ridge Christmas Cabin, Book One, depending on whether you want coastal Christmas or mountain Christmas.
• Best newer-series starting point: The Coastal Inheritance, Book One if you want a 2025 entry point, or The Snowberry Inn, Book One if you want the newest 2026 lane.

Do you need a full chronological order?

Not really. Ivory Fields is more readable by series block than by date.

Within each series, publication order is the right order. Across the entire catalogue, strict chronology adds very little, because the books are grouped into separate six-book settings rather than one interlocking universe.

Latest release status

The newest currently surfaced Ivory Fields lines are Forever Home and Starting Over Romance in 2026, with The Snowberry Inn and The Old Flame both appearing as six-book series. Just before those, 2025 saw a large cluster that includes Carolina Sunsets, Shoreline Secrets, Tides of the Heart, and Evergreen.

FAQs

Do Ivory Fields books need to be read in order?

Yes within each named series. No across the whole catalogue, because most of the books sit in separate six-book runs.

Are Ivory Fields books mostly standalones?

No. Public catalogue pages show Ivory Fields primarily publishing in named series, usually with six books per run.

What is the best Ivory Fields series to start with?

Myrtle Beach is the safest answer for most readers, while A Winter to Remember is the best answer for readers who want holiday romance first.

Are the complete-series editions separate books?

No. They are omnibus editions that collect existing books and do not change the underlying reading order.

Conclusion

The cleanest way to read Ivory Fields is to think in shelves, not in one long ladder. Pick the setting you want, start at book one, stay in that six-book run, then move to the next series.

For most readers, that means starting with The House by the Ocean, Book One, then branching into Christmas By The Shore, The Coastal Inheritance, The Seaside Bookshop, or The Snowberry Inn depending on whether you want beach, holiday, mystery, or newest-release energy.
