Trisha Messmer Books in Order (Updated March 14, 2026)

Trisha Messmer’s books fall into three clear buckets: the earlier Different Worlds contemporary romances, the Regency-set Hope Clinic books, and the newer London Ladies’ League series.

For most readers, the real decision is not whether to read everything by publication date, but whether you want to start with her historical romance work or her earlier contemporary novels.

The cleanest way to read Trisha Messmer

If you want her best-known work, start with The Hope Clinic.

If you want to read her full catalog, go by series, not by one long mixed bibliography. That keeps the tonal shift from contemporary to Regency romance clean and avoids dropping into the middle of her ongoing historical series.

The series map

Different Worlds

This is Trisha Messmer’s earlier contemporary romance series. It is separate from her later historical fiction, so it should be treated as its own continuity.

1. The Bottom Line (2018): A contemporary romance about a woman whose life changes course after a betrayal shortly before her wedding, opening the series with a “fresh start” emotional reset.
2. The Eyre Liszt (2019): A second Different Worlds novel that continues the series’ interest in characters from contrasting personal worlds and backgrounds.
3. Look With Your Heart (2019): A later contemporary entry built around the idea that love may already be closer than it first appears, closing the currently confirmed Different Worlds lineup.

The Hope Clinic

This is the best-known Trisha Messmer series and the safest starting point for most readers. It is a Regency romance sequence, and publication order is the best order because the books build around the Hope Clinic circle and its connected cast.

Optional prequels

1. The Baron’s Runaway Bride: A prequel novella focused on Robert and Georgiana, listed on the author’s site as exclusive subscriber content rather than as a standard series novel.
2. No Ordinary Love (2020): A prequel novella about Andrew and Alice Weatherby that works best before book one or as an optional background story once you know the series world.

Main novels

1. The Reluctant Duke’s Dilemma (2020): Harry and Margaret’s story, opening the series with duty, desire, and the medical-romance framework that defines the Hope Clinic books.
2. A Doctor For Lady Denby (2021): Oliver and Camilla’s story, built on immediate friction and a strong dislike-to-love setup inside the same Regency world.
3. Healing The Viscount’s Heart (2021): Bea and Laurence’s story, pairing a rule-bound viscount with a bluestocking heroine whose outlook pushes against his orderliness.
4. Saving Miss Pratt (2022): Priscilla and Timothy’s story, where questions of reputation and rescue drive the fourth novel’s central conflict.
5. Redeeming Lord Nash (2023): Nash and Adalyn’s story, shifting toward redemption and a hero who is explicitly framed as no one’s hero until love changes the equation.

Collection

• The Hope Clinic Books 1–3 (2023): An omnibus edition of the first three novels, not a separate story and not part of the main reading order.

London Ladies’ League

This is Trisha Messmer’s current Regency series. It is separate from The Hope Clinic, so you do not need to read one before the other, though publication order is still the best path within the series itself.

1. A Duke In The Rough (2024): Honoria and Drake’s story, beginning the series with a newly minted duke who tries to dodge fortune-hunting debutantes by lying his way out of trouble.
2. Every Rake Has A Silver Lining (2024): Charlotte and Simon’s story, pairing a charming rake with the one woman least impressed by him.
3. A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Heirs (2025): Juliana and Victor’s story, built around a reputation-saving bargain that becomes more personal than either expects.
4. Don’t Get Your Viscount In A Twist (2026): Anne and Colin’s story, a grumpy-versus-sunshine pairing that keeps the series’ lighter social-comedy energy going.
5. The Lady Takes It All (late 2026, announced): The fifth London Ladies’ League book, listed on the author’s site as Miranda Townsent and Miles Grey’s story and announced rather than published.

Recommended reading order

For most readers, this is the best route:

1. No Ordinary Love
2. The Reluctant Duke’s Dilemma
3. A Doctor For Lady Denby
4. Healing The Viscount’s Heart
5. Saving Miss Pratt
6. Redeeming Lord Nash
7. A Duke In The Rough
8. Every Rake Has A Silver Lining
9. A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Heirs
10. Don’t Get Your Viscount In A Twist

That order works because it starts with her strongest known historical line, keeps The Hope Clinic intact, and then moves cleanly into her second Regency series without mixing in the earlier contemporary books.

Do you need a chronological order?

Not really.

Trisha Messmer’s books are much easier to read by series publication order than by trying to force a timeline across separate continuities. The practical distinction is simply contemporary versus Regency, then Hope Clinic versus London Ladies’ League.

Where to start

Start with The Reluctant Duke’s Dilemma if you want the safest first Trisha Messmer book.

Start with A Duke In The Rough if you want the newer Regency series from the ground floor.

Start with The Bottom Line only if you specifically want to begin with her earlier contemporary romance work.

Latest release status

As of March 14, 2026, the most recent published Trisha Messmer novel is Don’t Get Your Viscount In A Twist.

The next announced title is The Lady Takes It All, listed as coming in late 2026. Because the author site gives a season-style window rather than a firm date, it is better treated as announced than scheduled to a precise publication day.

FAQs

What is the best Trisha Messmer series to start with?

The Hope Clinic is the best starting place for most readers.

Are The Hope Clinic and London Ladies’ League connected?

They are separate Regency series. You do not need to read one before the other.

Is No Ordinary Love required?

No. It is a prequel novella, so it is useful but optional.

Is The Baron’s Runaway Bride part of the main order?

It is best treated as bonus material because it is listed as a prequel novella and exclusive subscriber content.

Are the Different Worlds books connected to the Regency books?

No. They belong to a separate contemporary romance series and should be treated as a different branch of her catalog.

Final recommendation

Read The Hope Clinic first, beginning with No Ordinary Love if you like prequels or with The Reluctant Duke’s Dilemma if you want to go straight to the main story. After that, move to London Ladies’ League in order.

That gives you the clearest introduction to Trisha Messmer’s work, keeps the continuities tidy, and leaves the earlier contemporary series for later if you want the complete bibliography.
