T.L. Swan (often styled T L Swan) writes high-heat contemporary romance with a few clearly separated worlds. You don’t need a single mega-order. The only time order really matters is inside a named series (and within the long-running Stanton timeline).

A shelf-ready starting plan
Pick the vibe you want, then read straight down that lane.

The Italian Series (publication order)

Standalones (read anytime)
These are not numbered as a series. Any connections are minor enough that you can choose purely by premise.
- Our Way: A marriage-in-trouble romance where two people try to rebuild intimacy without losing themselves.
- Play Along: A romantic suspense standalone where survival and obsession spiral under captivity stakes.
- The Bonus: A contemporary romance centered on a long-held crush and the moment it finally becomes possible.
- Find Me Alastar: An earlier standalone with a more unusual structure than her later series; availability can vary by edition and retailer.
Stanton Universe (best read as one continuous timeline)
This is her most order-sensitive lane. Later entries assume you already know the original couple and their history.
The Stanton Series (publication order)
- Stanton Adore: A high-chemistry romance where commitment arrives before either character is ready for what it demands.
- Stanton Unconditional: A continuation romance where trust gets tested and love becomes a daily choice.
- Stanton Completely: A relationship-deepening installment where the past stops staying buried.
- Stanton Bliss: A later entry where devotion has to survive darker, sharper pressure.
Time-skip follow-ons (read in this order)
- Marx Girl: Set about five years later, this is a next-generation/adjacent romance that works best after Stanton Bliss.
- Gym Junkie: Set about seven years later, this follows the same wider circle with more “grown-up consequences” energy.
- Dr Stanton: Set about ten years later, this revisits the core Stanton world with a later-life perspective.
- Dr Stantons: The Epilogue: A closing capstone meant to be last.
Collections and seasonal extras

- His Christmas List (2025 edition): A holiday collection release for late 2025.
- The Heart You Kept (Kings of the Riviera #1): Announced for May 5, 2026 (US & AU) and May 7, 2026 (UK).
Quick FAQs
Do I need to read Miles Ever After?
Only if you want extra time with the couples. It’s a “reward” book, not the core arc.
Can I start with a standalone like Our Way?
Yes. If you’re unsure about her tone, a standalone is the lowest-commitment way to sample it.
Is Kings of the Riviera connected to earlier series?
It’s presented as a new series line. Start at book one and treat it as a separate lane unless later books explicitly cross over.
Bottom line
For most readers, the smoothest entry is: The Stopover → The Takeover → The Casanova → The Do-Over → Miles Ever After. If you want the earliest, most timeline-dependent experience, start with Stanton Adore and read the Stanton Universe straight through.
