Meghan March writes high-heat romance in distinct story worlds. Some are built as tightly connected trilogies (where stopping early hurts). Others are looser “same-city” romances with familiar faces drifting in and out.

If you want to keep surprises intact, the guiding idea is simple: stay inside one story world until you finish it.

FAQ
Do I have to read everything in one giant order?
No. Reading by story world is the safest approach, and most worlds stand on their own.
Which books are the most order-sensitive?
The Mount → Savage → Redemption line is the one most likely to spoil itself if you skip around.
Are the Beneath books standalones or a series?
They work as individual romances, but they’re connected enough that reading in order improves context and avoids “future couple” reveals.
Bottom line
If you want one confident starting point: Ruthless King for a tight, addictive saga, or Beneath This Mask for connected standalones with a strong cast. From there, stay in that world until you finish it, and everything will read cleanly.
