Anne Malcom writes in a few very different modes, motorcycle club romance, romantic suspense, small-town romance, and paranormal romance. Some books are fully self-contained, but several groups are tied together by recurring characters and shared history, so reading order can protect you from “by the way, they ended up together” spoilers.

If you’re only going to follow one rule: stay in the same storyline until you finish it. Then switch lanes.

Sons of Templar: the simplest way to read it
This world has two practical approaches:
Option A: Motorcycle club only (clean and direct)
Read the Sons of Templar MC series in order (listed below), then the New Mexico spin-off.
Option B: Full shared-world experience (most crossover payoff)
Read the Sons of Templar Universe list first (13 books), then continue with the remaining MC books and the remaining related titles.
Sons of Templar Universe (the shared-world order)
This is the “everything interlocks” route. It’s the safest order if you want maximum context for cameos and references.
- Making the Cut: A tough outsider is pulled into a dangerous brotherhood where loyalty has a price.
- Firestorm: A woman who doesn’t do attachment falls for the one man who won’t let her hide.
- Outside the Lines: A survival-first heroine risks trust with a man who understands her kind of chaos.
- Out of the Ashes: Two damaged people try to build something steady in a world that keeps burning.
- Echoes of Silence: A guarded woman and a relentless man collide until silence stops being an option.
- Skeletons of Us: Love turns into a fight for the future when the past refuses to stay buried.
- Beyond the Horizon: A relationship is tested by distance, danger, and the cost of staying.
- Dauntless: A fearless façade cracks when real intimacy demands honesty.
- Broken Shelves: A romance shaped by books, bruises, and the kind of tenderness that sneaks up.
- Still Waters: A quiet, intense protector meets the one person who makes stillness feel impossible.
- Shield: A woman raised in strength finds her match in a man who respects every boundary.
- Battles of the Broken: Two battered hearts learn that love can be a decision, not a miracle.
- The Problem with Peace: A “perfect” life unravels when desire and truth refuse to behave.
Sons of Templar MC (motorcycle club series order)
If you’re here for the club story first, start here and read straight through.
- Making the Cut: A hard-edged love story where the club becomes both danger and home.
- Firestorm: A man who lives by loyalty meets a woman determined to stay untouchable.
- Outside the Lines: A gritty in-between chapter that deepens the stakes before the next main book.
- Out of the Ashes: A slow rebuild romance born from trauma, grit, and stubborn devotion.
- Beyond the Horizon: Two people fight for a future that keeps getting complicated by reality.
- Dauntless: A fearless heroine forces a hero to finally face what he feels.
- Battles of the Broken: A relationship forged in conflict where healing is the real battlefield.
- Hollow Hearts: A love story that goes straight for the softest places, and hits hard.
- Deadline to Damnation: A ticking-clock romance where past sins and present danger collide.
- Scars of Yesterday: Old wounds reopen, and the only way out is through each other.
- Three Kinds of Trouble: Trouble arrives in layers, external threats, internal fear, and undeniable want.
Note: Some listings count “Outside the Lines” as a half-step entry rather than a numbered book. The story still fits best where it’s placed above.
Sons of Templar: New Mexico (spin-off series order)
This is a separate branch with its own arc. It’s best after you’ve read at least the early Sons of Templar books.
- Wretched Love: Two rough lives collide, and love shows up like a fistfight with feelings.
- Wilting Violets: A bruised heroine learns that softness can be strength when it’s chosen.
- Wrathful Souls: A final, high-heat clash where loyalty, rage, and love land on the same page.
Unquiet Mind (series order)
These books share a thread of emotional intensity and recurring connections. Read in order if you want the character context to land cleanly.
- Echoes of Silence: A guarded heroine meets the person who refuses to accept her silence as safety.
- Skeletons of Us: A relationship is forced to grow up fast when the past makes demands.
- Broken Shelves: Two people built from damage and books try to write something better together.
- Mistake’s Melody: A romance shaped by regret and the hope of a second, smarter try.
- Censored Soul: A story about what’s left when the truth is finally allowed to exist.
Greenstone Security (series order)
A romantic suspense line where each book focuses on a different couple, with a growing web of relationships.
- Still Waters: A quiet protector and a stubborn heroine discover how deep fear can run.
- Shield: A fierce woman learns that being cared for doesn’t mean being controlled.
- The Problem with Peace: A polished exterior cracks when love threatens the image.
- Chaos Remains: Healing isn’t linear, and love doesn’t fix everything, but it can stay.
- Resonance of Stars: Two people find connection in the aftermath, when the noise finally settles.
Jupiter Tides (small-town series order)
A small-town line with connected characters. “Things We Burn” is commonly placed as a prequel-style entry.
- Things We Burn: A heat-heavy romance that sets the town’s tone through pressure, reputation, and reinvention.
- Recipe for Love: A baker’s fresh start turns complicated when the man watching her stops being subtle.
- Method for Matrimony: A last-resort marriage becomes the one arrangement neither can keep “just practical.”
- The Anchor Holds: A woman in trouble finds that the right person can feel like stability, not chaos.
- Half Buried Hopes: A single dad and a nanny-style setup turns into the kind of closeness that changes the rules.
The Vein Chronicles (paranormal series order)
This series has a clear through-line. Read in order.
- Fatal Harmony: A supernatural bond forms, and love becomes dangerous the moment it matters.
- Deathless: Immortality stops feeling romantic when it threatens the people you’d die for.
- Faults in Fate: Destiny gets rewritten when choice becomes louder than prophecy.
- Eternity’s Awakening: A long sleep ends, and everything the heroine knew about love changes.
- Buried Destiny: The endgame arrives, and the cost of forever finally gets named.
The Klutch Duet (read in order)
These two books are designed as one continuous emotional arc.
- Lies That Sinners Tell: A relationship built on half-truths starts collapsing the moment feelings turn real.
- Truths That Saints Believe: The fallout forces honesty, consequences, and a final decision about love.
Standalone novels (read anytime)
These are not part of a numbered series. Pick based on mood.
- Birds of Paradise: A romance that leans into escapism until real life demands an answer.
- doyenne.: A sharp, intimate story about power, identity, and what it costs to be admired.
- Splinters of You: Two people try to fit together while still carrying pieces of old breaks.
- Hush: A tense, emotional romance where what’s unsaid becomes the loudest threat.
- What Grows Dies Here: A darker, slower burn that treats love as both risk and consequence.
- New Hope, Old Grudges: Returning to a hated hometown reopens old wounds, and offers one unexpected way forward.
- Captive Souls: A dark romance built around control, survival, and the moment protection becomes personal.
Does “chronological order” differ from publication order?
For Anne Malcom, the meaningful difference is only inside the Sons of Templar shared world (where crossovers can shift the ideal sequence). Everywhere else, the timeline you want is simply the series order listed above.
Latest release status
- Newest confirmed Jupiter Tides title in-series: Half Buried Hopes (Jupiter Tides #4).
- If more titles are announced, the safest approach is to follow the numbered series sequence rather than reading by release date across different storylines.
Reader questions people usually have
Can I read the Sons of Templar MC books without the broader shared-world list?
Yes. If you stay inside the MC order, you’ll be fine, shared-world cameos just become bonus flavor instead of required context.
Do I need to read Jupiter Tides #0 first?
No. If you prefer “clean series numbering,” start with Recipe for Love and come back to Things We Burn later.
Which path avoids spoilers best?
Choose one storyline (MC, Jupiter Tides, Greenstone Security, or Vein Chronicles) and finish it before starting another.
The simplest plan that works
If you want one straightforward route: start with Making the Cut and keep going through the Sons of Templar MC list. When you finish, either branch into New Mexico or reset with a completely different tone using Recipe for Love (Jupiter Tides).
