Ivy Blair Books in Order (Updated April 10, 2026)

Ivy Blair’s catalog is not one simple series. It is a cluster of fast-release contemporary romance serials, mostly built around divorce, betrayal, hidden identity, billionaire regret, and revenge. That means the real reading-order question is not “where does everything fit on one master timeline?” but “which serial should I commit to first?”

The safest rule is this: read each named sequence in its own numbered order, and do not assume that a similar trope means books belong to the same continuity.

The fastest way to choose

1. Start with Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back if you want the most visible and best-established Ivy Blair serial.
2. Start with Starting Over after Betrayal if you want a cleaner, shorter run.
3. Start with The Heart’s Journey only if you specifically want to sample an older, separate title rather than the newer serialized romance catalog.

What belongs together

Best-established serials

• Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back
• Love after Divorce
• Breaking Point of Divorce
• The Silent Wife’s Counterattack
• After His Cheating
• The Forbidden Graves

Separate early works

• The Heart’s Journey
• a small group of 2023 short works listed separately from the later serial fiction

Separate continuity

Kidnapped by the Mafia Boss is tied to Valentino Brothers, not the divorce-and-betrayal lines.

Recommended reading order

For most readers, this is the most useful path through Ivy Blair:

1. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back books 1-12
2. The Silent Wife’s Counterattack books 1-5
3. Breaking Point of Divorce books 1-8
4. Love after Divorce books 1-6
5. Starting Over after Betrayal / The Forbidden Graves books 1-5
6. After His Cheating books 1-8
7. Kidnapped by the Mafia Boss
8. The Heart’s Journey
9. the 2023 short works

That order is not meant as one in-world chronology. It is a practical path: start with the biggest visible serial, then move through the shorter connected runs, then finish with the side material and earlier separate works.

Ivy Blair books in order

Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back

1. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (2025): The opening entry in Blair’s most visible serial, built around betrayal, emotional fallout, and the first stage of the heroine’s comeback.
2. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 2) (2025): The second book continues the same recovery-and-revenge line, so it works best only after book one has established the marriage collapse.
3. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 3) (2025): Book three deepens the serial rather than resetting it, making this a continuation read instead of a good entry point.
4. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 4) (2025): The fourth installment keeps the same central conflict moving forward and should be read in sequence for the emotional payoffs to land.
5. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 5) (2025): By this stage the serial is clearly operating as one ongoing arc, with the heroine’s response to betrayal carrying across volumes.
6. Divorce Rmance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 6) (2025): Despite the typo in some listings, this is the sixth book in the same sequence and belongs directly after book five.
7. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 7) (2025): Book seven continues the same relationship-and-revenge serial, so skipping ahead would likely weaken the ongoing character beats.
8. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 8) (2025): The eighth installment remains part of the same long-form divorce-and-betrayal arc and is best read in strict order.
9. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 9) (2025): Book nine extends the same serial structure, with the central appeal still tied to momentum rather than standalone resolution.
10. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 10) (2025): The tenth volume is another direct continuation, intended for readers already following this long-running sequence.
11. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 11) (2025): Book eleven sits late in the same serial and is not a safe jumping-on point.
12. Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back: Cheating and Betrayal Second Chance Romance (Book 12) (2025): The twelfth currently visible installment brings you to the end of the verified run listed in the major catalog pages.

The Silent Wife’s Counterattack

1. The Silent Wife’s Counterattack: Billionaire Divorce Second Chance Romance Book 1 (2025): A separate divorce-and-regret line, this one centered on a silent or overlooked wife setup and a more explicitly billionaire-branded frame.
2. The Silent Wife’s Counterattack: Billionaire Divorce Second Chance Romance Book 2 (2025): Book two continues the same marriage-breakdown arc and should be read after the opener for the emotional reversal to build properly.
3. The Silent Wife’s Counterattack: Billionaire Divorce Second Chance Romance Book 3 (2025): The third installment keeps the same couple-conflict trajectory moving rather than presenting a fresh standalone premise.
4. The Silent Wife’s Counterattack: Billionaire Divorce Second Chance Romance Book 4 (2025): Book four stays inside the same serial structure, focused on the fallout and power rebalancing after the wife stops accepting her role.
5. The Silent Wife’s Counterattack: Billionaire Divorce Second Chance Romance Book 5 (2025): The fifth currently visible entry completes the verified run of this sequence in the accessible listings.

Breaking Point of Divorce

1. Breaking Point of Divorce: A Arranged Marriage, Second Chance, Billionaire Romance Book 1 (2025): This serial begins with an arranged-marriage angle, making it a useful alternative if you want the divorce-and-regret theme filtered through a more contractual setup.
2. Breaking Point of Divorce: A Arranged Marriage, Second Chance, Billionaire Romance Book 2 (2025): Book two continues the same arranged-marriage collapse and second-chance line, so it works as progression rather than a reset.
3. Breaking Point of Divorce: A Arranged Marriage, Second Chance, Billionaire Romance Book 3 (2025): The third book broadens the same ongoing relationship crisis and should be read after the first two volumes.
4. Breaking Point of Divorce: A Arranged Marriage, Second Chance, Billionaire Romance Book 4 (2025): This installment stays in the same serial lane, pushing the marriage crisis further rather than starting a new couple story.
5. Breaking Point of Divorce: A Arranged Marriage, Second Chance, Billionaire Romance Book 5 (2025): Book five remains part of the same long-form arc, so continuity matters more than trope familiarity here.
6. Breaking Point of Divorce: A Arranged Marriage, Second Chance, Billionaire Romance Book 6 (2025): The sixth book continues the serial escalation and is best saved for readers already invested in this specific sequence.
7. Breaking Point of Divorce: A Arranged Marriage, Second Chance, Billionaire Romance Book 7 (2025): Book seven sits late in the run and depends on the previous emotional groundwork.
8. Breaking Point of Divorce: An Arranged Marriage, Second Chance, Billionaire Romance Book 8 (2025): The eighth currently visible installment closes out the verified sequence listed on the main author pages, with “A” and “An” varying by listing.

Love after Divorce

1. Love after Divorce: A Cheating and Betrayal, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Romance 1 (2025): This sequence starts with a hidden-identity layer, which gives it a slightly different flavor from the plainer divorce-and-regret serials.
2. Love after Divorce: A Cheating and Betrayal, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Romance 2 (2025): Book two develops the same betrayal and identity-reveal tension rather than standing alone.
3. Love after Divorce: A Cheating and Betrayal, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Romance 3 (2025): The third installment continues the same central relationship conflict, so it is best read in order.
4. Love after Divorce: A Cheating and Betrayal, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Romance 4 (2025): Book four remains in the same identity-and-second-chance arc and is not meant as a fresh entry point.
5. Love after Divorce: A Cheating and Betrayal, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Romance 5 (2025): The fifth book continues the same serialized emotional line and should follow the previous volumes directly.
6. Love after Divorce: A Cheating and Betrayal, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Romance 6 (2025): The sixth currently visible entry completes the verified run available in the accessible listings.

The Forbidden Graves

1. Starting Over after Betrayal: Billionaire Revenge Romance about an Abandoned Bride and Her Ex’s Uncle (The Forbidden Graves Book 1) (2025): This is the clearest alternate starting point after Forgotten Wife Strikes Back, with a sharper revenge hook and a more distinct family-entanglement premise.
2. Starting Over after Betrayal: Billionaire Revenge Romance about an Abandoned Bride and Her Ex’s Uncle (The Forbidden Graves Book 2) (2025): Book two continues the same revenge-and-reconnection arc and should be read after the opener.
3. Starting Over after Betrayal: Billionaire Revenge Romance about an Abandoned Bride and Her Ex’s Uncle (The Forbidden Graves Book 3) (2025): The third installment keeps the same forbidden-family-adjacent tension in motion, so sequence matters.
4. Starting Over after Betrayal: Billionaire Revenge Romance about an Abandoned Bride and Her Ex’s Uncle (The Forbidden Graves Book 4) (2025): Book four remains part of the same connected line and works best once the earlier betrayals and alliances are already in place.
5. Starting Over after Betrayal: Billionaire Revenge Romance about an Abandoned Bride and Her Ex’s Uncle (The Forbidden Graves Book 5) (2026): The fifth book is the newest verified entry in this sequence and currently the end of the visible run.

After His Cheating

1. After His Cheating: The Heiress Revenge Romance about Fake Marriage, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Book 1 (2026): This later serial shifts from plain betrayal into heiress-revenge and fake-marriage territory, making it a good choice for readers who want more overt scheming.
2. After His Cheating: The Heiress Revenge Romance about Fake Marriage, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Book 2 (2026): Book two continues the same revenge-and-identity setup and is best read straight after the opener.
3. After His Cheating: The Heiress Revenge Romance about Fake Marriage, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Book 3 (2026): The third entry expands the same serial rather than resetting the premise for new readers.
4. After His Cheating: The Heiress Revenge Romance about Fake Marriage, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Book 4 (2026): Book four stays in the same connected revenge arc and depends on the earlier setup.
5. After His Cheating: The Heiress Revenge Romance about Fake Marriage, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Book 5 (2026): This volume keeps the same hidden-identity and second-chance machinery turning, so reading out of order is not recommended.
6. After His Cheating: The Heiress Revenge Romance about Fake Marriage, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Book 6 (2026): Book six remains a continuation entry for committed series readers.
7. After His Cheating: The Heiress Revenge Romance about Fake Marriage, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Book 7 (2026): The seventh installment pushes further into the same revenge-relationship serial and is not a standalone.
8. After His Cheating: The Heiress Revenge Romance about Fake Marriage, Hidden Identity, Second Chance Book 8 (2026): The eighth currently visible installment is the latest verified book in this sequence and one of Ivy Blair’s most recent releases.

Valentino Brothers

Kidnapped by the Mafia Boss: Surprise Pregnancy Mafia Romance (Valentino Brothers Book 1) (2025): This is a separate mafia-romance line and should not be mixed into the divorce serials just because it shares the same author.

Separate early novel

The Heart’s Journey (2023): An earlier standalone novel listed apart from the later serial romances, best treated as a separate phase of Ivy Blair’s catalog.

2023 short works

1. Breathless Desire (2023): A short work from Blair’s earlier catalog, separate from the later billionaire-divorce serials.
2. The Perfect Match (2023): Another early short piece, best read as standalone side material rather than part of the newer connected runs.
3. The Passionate Pursuit (2023): A short romance work from the 2023 cluster, separate from the later serialized continuity.
4. Fated for Forever (2023): An earlier short entry that belongs with Blair’s pre-serial material rather than the newer revenge-and-divorce lines.
5. The Enchanted Garden (2023): A standalone short work listed in the early catalog grouping.
6. The Summer of Firsts (2023): Another 2023 short piece, best treated as separate reading for completists.

Best starting points

Best overall starting point:
Divorce Romance, Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Book 1)
It is the most visible series opener and the clearest introduction to Ivy Blair’s main current lane.

Best shorter starting point:
Starting Over after Betrayal (The Forbidden Graves Book 1)
This is the cleaner choice if you want a shorter, easier test run before tackling a 12-book serial.

Best newest-lane starting point:
After His Cheating (Book 1)
Choose this if you want the most recent branch of Blair’s serialized romance output.

Best separate sample:
The Heart’s Journey
Pick this only if you want to sample an older standalone instead of the newer episodic romances.

Do you need a full publication order across every series?

Not really. The books are easier to use when grouped by sequence, not when forced into one giant mixed list. Since these are multiple distinct serials, the smartest reading order is by series order first, not by trying to interleave every release into a single master stack.

Novellas, short stories, and separate material

The six 2023 short works appear to sit outside the newer serial romances and can be treated as optional. They are not the books most readers are looking for when they search Ivy Blair in order, but they do belong in the broader bibliography.

I am excluding the nonfiction and translated-edition entries that also appear on the Goodreads author pages from the main order above, because they are not part of the English-language romance fiction continuity most readers mean here.

Latest release status

The most recent Ivy Blair books visible in the current catalog pages are from the After His Cheating line and The Forbidden Graves line. The clearest currently visible late-catalog stopping points are After His Cheating Book 8 and Starting Over after Betrayal (The Forbidden Graves Book 5).
