Heather C. Myers writes contemporary romance, dark hockey romance, sports romance, cozy mystery, historical romance, romantic suspense, paranormal fiction, and modern literary adaptations.
Her bibliography is large because it contains several distinct kinds of books. Slapshot, Bad Boys of the NHL, Minor League Mayhem, Crestwood Elite Hockey Academy, Detroit Serpents, and Hollowgrave Wraiths focus on hockey. Mika Chalmers and Seaside Prep combine hockey with murder mysteries. Somerset, Neverland, Dark Paradise, and Dark & Deadly belong to separate fantasy or suspense continuities.

Some older stories have also been republished under new dates, new covers, or different author names. A later edition should not automatically be counted as a new novel.
First, Choose the Right Heather C. Myers
- Begin with Exes & Goals for her main contemporary hockey catalog.
- Choose Skates & Stones for dark academy hockey romance.
- Start with Cold Carnage for the Detroit Serpents and a more violent professional hockey setting.
- Read Ice Breakers for a continuing hockey mystery series.
- Choose To Believe a Buccaneer for historical pirate romance.
- Begin with Awaken for paranormal romance, or Death in Neverland for a darker Neverland retelling.
Readers interested only in the newest books can begin with Gloves Off, Burn for You, or Resting Pitch Face. Those series have their own casts and do not require the older hockey books.
The Main Hockey Continuities
Heather C. Myers has several hockey series, but they should not all be blended into one timeline.
Slapshot follows the Newport Beach Seagulls and is her longest solo hockey romance series.
Bad Boys of the NHL follows a different collection of professional players.
Minor League Mayhem shifts attention to younger and lower-league players.
Crestwood Elite Hockey Academy is a dark academy series co-written with Frankie Cardona.
Detroit Serpents is a separate dark professional hockey series, also co-written with Frankie Cardona.
Hollowgrave Wraiths begins another connected hockey setting in 2026.
The hockey mystery books use recurring investigators and should be kept apart from the romance-only series.
Slapshot Prequel Trilogy Books in Order
The Slapshot prequel books establish characters and relationships connected to the later Newport Beach Seagulls series.
They occur before Exes & Goals, but new readers can still begin with the main Slapshot novels and return to the prequels later.
1. Blood on the Rocks
Blood on the Rocks (2014): A hockey-centered relationship begins under pressure from ambition, emotional damage, and choices that will affect characters later associated with the Slapshot world.
2. Grace on the Rocks
Grace on the Rocks (2017): A new relationship develops around people connected to the Seagulls, extending the prequel setting through attraction complicated by personal history.
3. Charm on the Rocks
Charm on the Rocks (2017): The final prequel romance completes the early group and brings the Slapshot world closer to the opening of the main series.
These three books are optional background. Publication order remains the easiest way to meet the characters.

Ravishing Rebounds

Its exact numbering varies across catalogs. It is safest after Wedding Rings & Champions or as an optional later novella.

The practical order is:
- Blood on the Rocks
- Grace on the Rocks
- Charm on the Rocks
- Exes & Goals
- Black Eyes & Blue Lines
- Lip Locks & Blocked Shots

Publication dates do not always match the story numbering because several titles were written or reissued later.

Somerset Books in Order
Somerset is an earlier supernatural or romantic suspense series associated with Heather C. Myers and the Isadora Brown name.
Several catalogs disagree about title order and edition dates. The most stable approach is to follow the numbering displayed in the edition being purchased.
Confirmed Somerset titles include:
An Education in Alpha: A heroine enters a supernatural world involving alpha power, hierarchy, and a dangerous relationship.
An Education in Royalty: Royal supernatural politics place a central romance under pressure from status and inherited duty.

Read the books in order for the complete character progression.
