C.M. Owens Books in Order (Updated 2026-02-09)

C.M. Owens wrote across several distinct story worlds: romantic comedy (her biggest readership), romantic suspense, and paranormal romance. Some series are “one couple per book” with a familiar friend group, while others carry an ongoing plot that really does expect you to start at book one.

This guide keeps each world separate, lists the books in the intended sequence, and gives a fresh one-line note for every title.
