Jessa York Books in Order (Updated May 29, 2026)

Jessa York writes contemporary romance, hockey romance, mafia romance, romantic suspense, professor/student romance, billionaire romance, and short steamy series romance.

Her catalogue is easiest to follow in separate files. Love in Santa Lena, Learning to Love, and Las Vegas Angels are lighter contemporary or sports romance lanes. Rosetti Crime Family, Sovrano Crime Family, and Sovrano Mafia Empire are the mafia-romance side and should be read more carefully.

Start with Falling For Jack for contemporary romance, Zero Pucks Given for hockey romance, A Billion Desires for dark billionaire mafia romance, or Tempting the King for the longest connected mafia story.

Decision Grid

1. For contemporary romance: read Falling For Jack first.
2. For hockey romance: read Zero Pucks Given first.
3. For professor/student romance: read Mr. Marshall’s Method first.
4. For dark billionaire mafia romance: read A Billion Desires first.
5. For a long mafia serial: read Tempting the King first.
6. For the newest mafia branch: read Vows of Betrayal first.

Santa Lena Sizzles Books in Order

Santa Lena Sizzles is one of Jessa York’s early short romance lanes. It is connected by town and tone, but the order is simple.

1. Over Easy (2018): An early Santa Lena romance that introduced the author’s steamy small-town style before later title and series branding became more settled.
2. Over Hard (2018): The second Santa Lena Sizzles book continues the same early contemporary-romance setting with another quick, high-heat relationship arc.

Reading advice: Read these before or around Love in Santa Lena if you want the earliest Santa Lena material. Some retailers and databases blur the line between Santa Lena Sizzles and Love in Santa Lena, so check title and blurb before buying duplicates.

Love in Santa Lena Books in Order

Love in Santa Lena is a four-book contemporary romance series. The first two books form a duet, while the later books are more standalone-friendly.

1. Falling For Jack (2018): Harper is recovering from divorce when a charged encounter with chef Jack turns into a romance she is not ready to trust.
2. Convincing Harper (2018): Jack has to face the damage caused by his secret, making this the direct conclusion to Harper and Jack’s duet.
3. Waiting On Jason (2018): Vivienne is ready to take motherhood into her own hands when Jason appears and complicates her plan for a no-strings future.
4. Healed By Chelsea (2019): Chelsea falls for an older, guarded man and has to decide whether she can love someone who may not be ready to be healed.

Reading advice: Read Falling For Jack and Convincing Harper together. The last two can be read more flexibly, but series order keeps Santa Lena’s relationship web clearer.

Learning to Love Books in Order

Learning to Love is a professor/student and authority-adjacent romance series. Read in order because the books share a clear school-centered theme.

1. Mr. Marshall’s Method (2019): Holly becomes off-limits temptation for Evan Marshall, making this the first teacher/student boundary-crossing romance in the series.
2. Professor Richter’s Rules (2020): Professor Richter breaks his own rules after an unexpected hookup becomes much harder to keep casual.
3. Dating Doctor Deveraux (2021): The series shifts into doctor-romance territory while keeping the same learning, authority, and forbidden-attraction energy.

Reading advice: Start with Mr. Marshall’s Method. This is a compact trilogy, so there is no real benefit to skipping around.

Christmas at the Sugarberry Inn Books in Order

Christmas at the Sugarberry Inn is a single-book holiday romance entry.

• A Holiday Homecoming (2020): A Christmas romance centered on return, reconnection, and the emotional reset that comes with a holiday homecoming.

Reading advice: This can be read whenever you want a holiday standalone. It is not required before the Santa Lena or mafia books.

Hero Club / Shared-World Book

This is Jessa York’s entry in the Hero Club world. Treat it as a contributed title, not a core Jessa York series step.

• Hot Shot Hero (2021): A shared-world romance with a hero-centered setup, best read as a standalone unless you are following the wider Hero Club project.

Reading advice: Read this outside the main series order. It is optional for Jessa York continuity.

Las Vegas Angels Books in Order

Las Vegas Angels is Jessa York’s hockey romance series. Read it in order if you want the team, friendships, and relationship references to build properly.

1. Zero Pucks Given (2021): Beau and Gigi begin the hockey series with ambition, chemistry, and a relationship that crashes into wedding-vow territory.
2. Zero Pucks Left (2021): The second Angels book continues the team setting with another hockey romance shaped by pressure, desire, and emotional fallout.
3. One Night Puck (2022): A one-night connection becomes harder to dismiss once hockey life and real feelings collide.
4. Pucked Up and Married (2022): Lexi’s life falls apart under secrets and lies, and the romance forces her to rebuild under intense emotional pressure.
5. Hate Puck (2023): The series turns toward hate, friction, and unresolved attraction inside the Angels world.
6. Love Puck (2023): Cash and Jillian’s relationship is pulled between old hurt, lingering love, and the question of whether they can stop repeating the same damage.
7. Puck Worthy (2024): Penelope’s carefully controlled life is disrupted by hockey, attraction, and the risk of letting someone close.
8. Pucking Worth It (2025): A team crisis forces close proximity with a veterinarian crush, pushing the series into another forced-proximity hockey romance.

Reading advice: Start with Zero Pucks Given. The books are couple-focused, but sports-series context works better in publication order.

The Rosetti Crime Family Books in Order

The Rosetti Crime Family is a dark billionaire mafia romance series. It is connected and should be read in order.

1. A Billion Desires (2021): Eve discovers that the man she married is far more dangerous than she understood, opening the Rosetti world through marriage, power, and threat.
2. A Billion Secrets (2021): Nick’s need to protect Eve intensifies after betrayal and secrecy test the fragile trust between them.
3. A Billion Reasons (2021): A rival’s power play widens the danger around Nick and Eve, pulling the romance deeper into mafia conflict.
4. A Billion Lies (2021): The series leans into deception, hidden motives, and the cost of surviving inside the Rosetti family’s world.
5. A Billion Consequences (2021): The fallout from earlier secrets begins to demand payment, making this a consequence-heavy turning point.
6. A Billion Decisions (2021): Nick and Eve’s choices become harder as love, loyalty, and criminal danger press in from every side.
7. A Billion Regrets (2022): Past mistakes and emotional damage return to shape the couple’s future.
8. A Billion Vendettas (2022): The series closes with revenge, family danger, and the final cost of the Rosetti conflicts.

Reading advice: Do not start in the middle. This is one of the Jessa York series where continuity matters.

The Sovrano Crime Family Books in Order

The Sovrano Crime Family is Jessa York’s longest mafia romance series. It reads like a continuous serial and should be read strictly in order.

1. Tempting the King (2022): Giselle, an escaped Mafia Queen, enters the Sovrano story while hiding from a past that can still destroy her.
2. Resisting the King (2022): Giselle is pulled back toward the man who scared her away, making resistance and return the center of the second book.
3. Forsaking the King (2022): Isolation, fear, and emotional self-protection push Giselle further from the life she may not be able to escape.
4. Despising the King (2022): The relationship turns sharper as hurt, distrust, and attraction keep working against each other.
5. Forgetting the King (2022): The series explores whether Giselle can forget the man and world surrounding her, even while they remain dangerously close.
6. Defying the King (2022): Giselle’s defiance becomes a survival strategy as desire, control, and danger tighten around her.
7. Enticing the King (2023): The story moves back from a brief emotional interlude into the harder reality of the Sovrano world.
8. Seducing the King (2023): Seduction becomes another form of power as the central relationship grows more complicated.

12. Refusing the King (2024): Giselle reaches another breaking point and has to leave before her past can destroy the people she loves.
13. Escaping the King (2024): Escape becomes the only path she can see, even though leaving may break the very heart she is trying to protect.
14. Denying the King (2024): Giselle runs from the one man who can truly destroy her, while the consequences of her disappearance grow sharper.
15. Loathing the King (2024): Anger and longing become harder to separate as the serial moves into its late-stage emotional conflict.
16. Wrecking the King (2024): Capture, fear, and survival push the Queen’s story toward its final crisis.
17. Risking the King (2024): The serial reaches its endgame as love, danger, and the question of whether happily-ever-after is still possible come together.

Reading advice: This is not a casual skip-around series. Begin with Tempting the King and read through Risking the King.

Sovrano Mafia Empire Books in Order

Sovrano Mafia Empire is the newer Sovrano-branded mafia series. It follows Stefan and Francesca and should be read in order.

1. Vows of Betrayal (2025): Francesca and Stefan’s dangerous connection begins when his world collides with hers, setting up the central marriage-and-mafia conflict.
2. Vows of Contempt (2025): Francesca leaves, and Stefan’s anger turns into pursuit as he decides she does not get to disappear from his life.

5. Vows of Passion (2026): The honeymoon grows rougher than expected, and Francesca has to learn what Stefan’s world truly requires of her.
6. Vows of Pleasure (2026): The series moves into a shorter honeymoon-focused installment as luxury, intimacy, and a special visitor close the current arc.

Reading advice: Read Vows of Betrayal first. The books follow one connected relationship arc, so publication order is the safest route.

Standalone Jessa York Books

These are best treated as separate reads unless a future series listing says otherwise.

1. Unexpectantly In Love (2022): A standalone romance with an unexpected-love setup, best read when you want a separate story outside the main series.
2. Best Unlaid Plans (2024): A dating-app and late-virginity romance where an accidental confession pushes the heroine into a plan that does not stay simple.

Reading advice: These do not need to be placed inside a strict timeline. Read them by trope.

Collections and Box Sets

Collections are buying formats, not new story entries.

1. Love In Santa Lena: The Complete Collection: Collects the Love in Santa Lena books and should not be counted as a fifth novel.
2. Series box sets or complete collections: Treat any Rosetti, Las Vegas Angels, or Santa Lena collections as bundles unless they contain a clearly titled new story.

Reading advice: Use collections for convenience. Do not insert them into the reading order after the individual books.

This is not a single fictional chronology. It is a practical route that starts with lower-confusion contemporary romance, then moves into hockey, then the connected mafia arcs.

Chronological Order

There is no confirmed single fictional chronology across all Jessa York books.

Use series order instead. The most important rule is to keep the mafia series separate and complete: read Rosetti Crime Family in order, read The Sovrano Crime Family in order, and read Sovrano Mafia Empire in order.

Latest Jessa York Book

As of May 29, 2026, the latest confirmed Jessa York release is Vows of Pleasure, book six in Sovrano Mafia Empire.

I did not find a reliably confirmed upcoming Jessa York title with a stable future publication date. Do not add a future book to the formal order until it appears on stable author or retailer listings.

FAQs

What Jessa York book should I read first?

Read Falling For Jack for contemporary romance, Zero Pucks Given for hockey romance, A Billion Desires for dark billionaire mafia romance, or Tempting the King for the long Sovrano mafia serial.

Are Jessa York’s books all connected?

No. Her catalogue has separate contemporary, hockey, and mafia series. Do not treat everything as one shared timeline.

Do I need to read The Rosetti Crime Family in order?

Yes. Start with A Billion Desires and read through A Billion Vendettas.

Do I need to read The Sovrano Crime Family in order?

Yes. This is the least skippable Jessa York series because it reads like a continuous serial.

Is The Sovrano Crime Family complete?

Yes. The stable series list runs from Tempting the King through Risking the King.

Is Sovrano Mafia Empire connected to The Sovrano Crime Family?

It shares the Sovrano branding and mafia world, but it follows Stefan and Francesca in a newer arc. Read The Sovrano Crime Family first if you want maximum context.

Are the Las Vegas Angels books standalone?

They are more standalone-friendly than the mafia books, but team romance works better in order. Start with Zero Pucks Given.

Is Love in Santa Lena the same as Santa Lena Sizzles?

They overlap in setting and older branding can be confusing. Treat Over Easy and Over Hard as early Santa Lena Sizzles material, and treat Falling For Jack through Healed By Chelsea as the current Love in Santa Lena order.

Choose Falling For Jack for contemporary romance, Zero Pucks Given for hockey romance, A Billion Desires for dark billionaire mafia romance, and Tempting the King for the full Sovrano serial.
