Harley Madison writes adult erotic romance, with a focus on why-choose relationships, kink, dominance and submission, Daddy Dom dynamics, and high-heat short-form romance.
Her catalogue is small, but order still matters. Sugar Life is the main connected series and should be read in sequence. Play Date Collection is a short-story collection that can be read in any order. Club Obsession is a separate upcoming series.

This guide keeps the continuities separate so readers do not mix the Sugar Life storyline with the shorter Play Date stories or future Club Obsession books.
The continuity map
There are three current reading areas:
- Sugar Life: A connected four-book why-choose romance about Emery and four older men. Read in order.
- Play Date Collection: Short erotic stories about Husband and his wife, designed to be read in any order.
- Club Obsession: A separate series beginning with On His Knees in September 2026.
The best first book for most readers is Sugar Baby. It begins the Sugar Life storyline and introduces the relationship structure that the later books depend on.
Sugar Life books in order
Sugar Life is the main Harley Madison series. It follows Emery through a continuing relationship arc, so this is not a series to read out of order.
- Sugar Baby (2024): Emery uses the SugarLife app for financial survival and accepts a high-paying date with four Daddy Doms, opening the series’ central why-choose romance and kink dynamic.
- Good Girl (2025): The arrangement expands from one night to a full weekend, deepening Emery’s connection with the men while pushing the story toward stronger emotional attachment.
- Brat Baby (2025): After the fallout from the previous book, Emery fights for the six-month contract she was promised and forces the relationship into a more confrontational stage.
- Baby Girl (2026): The fourth and final Sugar Life book follows the aftermath of the break between Emery and her four men as they try to repair what has been damaged.
How to read Sugar Life
Read Sugar Baby, then Good Girl, then Brat Baby, then Baby Girl.
This is the only safe order for the series. The books build directly on Emery’s choices, the contracts, the emotional fallout, and the unresolved endings.
At the time of writing, such as July 1, 2026, Baby Girl is still upcoming and is listed for July 29, 2026.
Play Date Collection books in order
Play Date Collection is much looser than Sugar Life. These are short, spice-focused stories involving Husband, his wife, and adult “play date” scenarios.
- Butterfly (2025): Husband shares his wife with friends in a short story built around group play, submission, dominance, and the collection’s object-focused format.
- Jewel (2025): Husband sends his wife to a hotel bar with instructions to find a stranger, creating another short, self-contained play-date scenario.
How to read Play Date Collection
You can read Butterfly and Jewel in either order.
Publication order is still neatest, so read Butterfly before Jewel if you want the simplest path. These stories are not required before Sugar Life.
Club Obsession books in order
Club Obsession is separate from Sugar Life and Play Date Collection.
- On His Knees (2026): The first Club Obsession book is listed as an upcoming erotic romance about a man who does not give up control easily.
As of July 1, 2026, On His Knees is scheduled for September 8, 2026. Since the full blurb has not been released, it should be treated as upcoming information rather than a completed series guide.
Harley Madison books in publication order
This order follows Harley Madison’s releases and announced titles by year.
- Sugar Baby (2024): The first Sugar Life book introduces Emery, the SugarLife app, and the four Daddy Doms who become central to the series.
- Good Girl (2025): The second Sugar Life book continues directly after Sugar Baby and turns the one-night arrangement into a weekend with higher emotional stakes.
- Butterfly (2025): The first Play Date Collection story introduces the short, standalone format around Husband, his wife, and a shared adult play date.
- Jewel (2025): The second Play Date Collection story keeps the same short-story style but moves the scenario to a hotel-bar setup.
- Brat Baby (2025): The third Sugar Life book follows Emery after the relationship breaks open, making it dependent on the first two books.
- Baby Girl (2026): The final Sugar Life book is scheduled to close Emery’s story with the four men.
- On His Knees (2026): The first Club Obsession book begins a separate series and should not be inserted into the Sugar Life order.
Recommended Harley Madison reading order
For a new reader, the most practical order is not pure publication order. Read the connected series first, then move into the short standalone material.
- Sugar Baby (2024): Start here because it introduces Emery, the SugarLife arrangement, and the series’ core relationship dynamic.
- Good Girl (2025): Read second because the story continues directly from the first book’s arrangement.
- Brat Baby (2025): Read third because it depends on the emotional and practical fallout from Good Girl.
- Baby Girl (2026): Read fourth after release, because it is the announced final Sugar Life book.
- Butterfly (2025): Read after Sugar Life if you want a short, standalone erotic story with no major plot commitment.
- Jewel (2025): Read after Butterfly for the neatest Play Date Collection order, though it can stand alone.
- On His Knees (2026): Read after release if you want to start the separate Club Obsession series.
Chronological order
There is no useful all-book chronological order for Harley Madison because the catalogue is split into separate continuities.
Use these rules instead:
- Sugar Life: Read all four books in numbered order.
- Play Date Collection: Read in any order, with publication order preferred for neatness.
- Club Obsession: Keep separate from Sugar Life and Play Date Collection.
The only strict continuity rule is Sugar Baby before Good Girl before Brat Baby before Baby Girl.
Bonus content, audiobooks, and editions
Bonus material should not be counted as a separate main reading-order step unless the author or publisher lists it as a standalone book.
Some catalogue sites show user-added Sugar Life bonus entries, but the confirmed main series order remains four books: Sugar Baby, Good Girl, Brat Baby, and Baby Girl.
Audiobooks are also not separate reading-order entries. They are alternate formats of the same books.
