Stasia Black Books in Order (Updated May 29, 2026)

Stasia Black writes adult dark romance, romantic suspense, sci-fi romance, paranormal romance, monster romance, mafia romance, and why-choose romance. Her catalogue is large, and several books have been repackaged, retitled, or moved into newer series branding.

Do not try to read every Stasia Black book as one continuous universe. The better method is to choose a series, read that series in order, and treat collections or retitled editions carefully so you do not buy the same material twice.

The safest first choices are The Virgin and the Beast for Stud Ranch, Theirs to Protect for The Marriage Raffle, Cut So Deep for Love So Dark, or 7 Days for the newer Carnal Games books.

Main Reading Rule

Read Stasia Black by series, not by one master chronology.

Some books are interconnected standalones. Others are true trilogies or continuing arcs. When a series is a trilogy, do not skip ahead.

Stud Ranch Books in Order

Stud Ranch is one of Stasia Black’s best-known series. Current official presentation treats it as a five-book connected standalone sequence, though older catalogue pages may show earlier or alternate titles.

1. The Virgin and the Beast (2017): A dark Beauty and the Beast-style romance that opens the Stud Ranch world with captivity, power imbalance, and fairy-tale retelling elements.
2. Hunter / The Vet and the Runaway (2017): A Snow White-inspired romance about a heroine on the run and a large-animal vet who becomes part of her dangerous new life.
3. The Virgin Next Door (2018): A Stud Ranch romance involving a playboy, a tomboy, and an ex-con, shifting the series into a relationship built around unlikely chemistry.
4. Reece / Don’t Look Back, Baby (2021): A woman escaping an abusive past finds shelter on a Texas ranch, where Reece becomes both complication and protection.
5. Jeremiah / Tied Up in Texas (2022): Jeremiah’s story follows the later Stud Ranch continuity and works best after Reece because of recurring family and emotional context.

Stud Ranch Catalogue Notes

1. Ducking Ugly (2018): Commonly appears in older Stud Ranch listings, but it is not part of the current official five-title presentation; treat it as an older catalogue/edition issue.
2. Taboo (2019/2020): A collection or omnibus-style listing in several catalogues, not a separate required Stud Ranch novel.

Love So Dark Books in Order

Love So Dark is a darker contemporary romance trilogy. Read it in order because the emotional and psychological pressure builds across the sequence.

1. Cut So Deep (2018): A single mother is pulled between two powerful men, opening the series with corporate manipulation, desire, and emotional danger.
2. Break So Soft (2018): The second book continues the dark relationship dynamics and should follow Cut So Deep for the clearest emotional arc.
3. Hurt So Good (2019): The trilogy concludes with the fallout from the earlier power games and the final shape of the central romance.

The Marriage Raffle Books in Order

The Marriage Raffle is a post-apocalyptic why-choose romance series co-written with A.S. Green. The books focus on different heroines but share the same world and premise.

1. Their Honeymoon (2018): A short prequel or bonus story that introduces the marriage-raffle setup and can be read before or after book one.
2. Theirs to Protect (2018): Audrey’s book begins the main series, introducing the Community and the idea of a woman being matched with multiple protector-husbands.
3. Theirs to Pleasure (2018): Shay’s book continues the post-apocalyptic marriage structure with a new heroine and a new group dynamic.
4. Theirs to Wed / Their Bride (2018): Vanessa’s book expands the raffle premise and is sometimes listed under either title.
5. Theirs to Defy (2018): Drea’s story pushes against the system more directly, making resistance and protection central to the romance.
6. Theirs to Ransom (2019): Sophia’s book closes the main sequence with danger, captivity, and the final major marriage-raffle romance.

Tales of Olympus / Innocence Trilogy Books in Order

This dark mafia romance trilogy is co-written with Lee Savino. It is a Hades and Persephone-inspired story and should be read in strict order.

1. Innocence (2015/2019): Cora enters the orbit of a dangerous underworld figure, beginning the trilogy’s dark mafia romance arc.
2. Awakening (2019): The second book continues Cora and Marcus’s story after the first book’s captivity, obsession, and power shifts.
3. Queen of the Underworld (2019): The trilogy concludes the Hades-and-Persephone-inspired mafia storyline.

Related Omnibus

• Hades and Persephone / Cruel Obsession (2024): A collected edition of the Tales of Olympus trilogy, using the myth names more directly; do not buy it as new story content if you already own the three individual books.

Draci Alien Romance Books in Order

Draci is Stasia Black’s sci-fi alien romance series. Read the three main books in order.

1. My Alien’s Obsession (2019): The first Draci book opens the alien-romance world with obsession, abduction-style danger, and a powerful nonhuman hero.
2. My Alien’s Baby (2019): The second book continues the alien-romance premise with pregnancy and survival stakes.
3. My Alien Beast (2021): The third book completes the main Draci sequence with another alien hero and heroine pairing.

Related Draci Collection

• Alpha Alien Beasts (2021): A Draci-related collection or bundle listing rather than a fourth core novel in the main three-book sequence.

Beauty and the Rose Books in Order

Beauty and the Rose is co-written with Lee Savino. It is a dark Beauty and the Beast-style romance sequence.

1. Beauty’s Beast (2020): Daphne and Logan’s dark romance begins with revenge, captivity, and the “Beauty and the Beast” frame.
2. Beauty and the Thorns (2020): The second book continues Daphne and Logan’s story, pushing the consequences of the first book forward.
3. Beauty & the Rose / Beauty and the Rose (2020): The trilogy resolves the main Beauty and the Rose arc.
4. Billionaire’s Captive (2020): A related Beauty and the Rose listing, best treated as connected extra material rather than the starting point.

Breaking Belles Books in Order

Breaking Belles is co-written with Alta Hensley. It is a dark secret-society romance series set around the Oleander Mansion and the Lords of The Order.

1. Elegant Sins (2020): The first book introduces the secret-society setup and the ritualized power games that define the series.
2. Beautiful Lies (2020): The second book keeps the Oleander Mansion setting while moving into another romance shaped by secrecy and control.
3. Opulent Obsession (2021): Fallon’s story raises the emotional stakes with obsession, old wounds, and a dangerous society backdrop.
4. Inherited Malice (2021): A con-artist setup brings deception and inheritance pressure into the Breaking Belles world.
5. Delicate Revenge (2021): Revenge becomes the main engine of the romance, making this one better after the earlier Order books.
6. Lavish Corruption (2023): The sixth book extends the secret-society world with another dark romance built around corruption and power.

Breaking Belles Collection

• Dark Rites (2024): A collected edition of the Breaking Belles books, not a separate new novel.

Vasiliev Bratva Books in Order

This is a single-book Bratva listing, so there is no larger reading sequence to manage.

• Without Remorse (2021): A dark Bratva romance centered on danger, revenge, and a morally ruthless criminal hero.

Mavros Brothers Saga / Who’s Your Daddy Books in Order

This why-choose series is co-written or cross-listed with Kora Nyx. Some newer packaging emphasizes the Mavros Brothers Saga branding.

This is a short, separate listing rather than a long series.

• Rockstar Gods (2022): A rock-star romance entry with darker temptation and fame-driven pressure, separate from the main mafia and ranch continuities.

Angels & Monsters / Monsters’ Consorts Books in Order

This monster-romance series has title variation across catalogues. Current packaging often uses the Angels & Monsters branding, while older listings may show Monsters’ Consorts.

• Angels & Monsters: A Complete Series Boxset (2026): A complete box set collecting the four Horsemen/monster romance books.

Carnal Games Books in Order

Carnal Games is one of Stasia Black’s newest dark romance series. Use the series order below, because some catalogue pages briefly conflict on book two and book three placement.

2. Ruined Vows (2025): A bodyguard is assigned to protect a billionaire’s daughter, turning protection into possession inside the Carnal Games world.

2. Woman Named Red (2017): A standalone romance about a woman in trouble and the man whose life changes when she crosses his path.

• For post-apocalyptic why-choose romance, begin with Theirs to Protect.

Do You Need to Read Stasia Black in Publication Order?

No. Publication order is less useful than series order because several books have title changes, omnibus editions, and repackaged versions.

Series order is safer. It keeps continuing couples together, avoids duplicated collections, and protects the few arcs that need a strict sequence.

Latest Release Status

As of May 29, 2026, Stasia Black’s most recent major Stasia Black-branded series material includes the 2025 Carnal Games books and the 2026 Angels & Monsters complete box set.

The Rules is a 2026 Kora Nyx-era dark romance title that is still cross-listed in some Stasia Black bibliographies. Treat it as separate from Stud Ranch, Marriage Raffle, Carnal Games, and Angels & Monsters.

No confirmed new Stasia Black series book beyond those current 2026 listings was reliable enough to include as an upcoming-title promise.
