Aimee Nicole Walker writes M/M romance and romantic suspense in clear, labeled lanes. Some lanes are tightly connected (same couple across multiple books). Others are “shared setting” books that read fine alone but feel richer in sequence.

Instead of one massive master list, this guide is organized as tracks. Pick a track, then read straight down.
