Nicole Edwards writes steamy contemporary romance across multiple separate reading paths, some are long-running worlds with overlapping characters, others are tight, couple-focused series. The easiest way to avoid spoilers is to follow one series straight through, then start a new one.

Below is a practical, reader-first guide that keeps each world clearly separated.

Brantley Walker: Off the Books (best read in order)
This line is longer and includes multiple installments; it’s built to be read sequentially because story threads and character dynamics carry forward.
Start here:
- Mission: All In: A high-heat, high-trust setup launches a romance that becomes a foundation for what follows.
- Mission: Without a Trace: The emotional stakes rise as the relationship is tested by secrecy and pressure.
- Hide & Seek: A more personal turn forces the characters to stop dodging what they want.
- Deadly Coincidence: The consequences sharpen, and the relationship has to hold under strain.
(If you want, I can list the full Off the Books order in one complete numbered run; it’s long enough that many readers prefer it as its own separate page.)
Misplaced Halos (read in order)
- Protected in Darkness: A protective romance with darker edges and high emotional dependency.
- Salvation in Darkness: The relationship deepens as trust becomes harder, and more necessary.
- Bound in Darkness: A closing installment where devotion is tested by the past’s final grip.
