Kat Singleton writes spicy contemporary romance in several distinct story “circles”: a billionaire trilogy, a small-town mountain series, a country-club set, plus earlier angsty contemporary series. These circles don’t require a single master order.

The only time order matters is inside each named series, where cameos and friend-group spoilers can stack up.

Quick answer
Safest first series for most readers: Black Tie Billionaires, because it’s short, modern, and cleanly numbered.
Safest first book if you want small-town: Rewrite Our Story (Sutten Mountain #1).
Best “start current releases” option: In Good Company (Pembroke Hills #1).
The reading logic that won’t fail you
- Choose one series below.
- Read it top to bottom.
- Only then jump to another series (especially if you dislike cameo spoilers).
Black Tie Billionaires (publication order)
A three-book, binge-friendly billionaire lane with big set pieces and a tight circle of recurring characters.
- Black Ties & White Lies: A high-society romance where a polished facade cracks under chemistry, secrets, and reputation stakes.
- Pretty Rings & Broken Things: A glitter-and-bruise love story where commitment looks perfect on paper and messy in real life.
- Bright Lights & Summer Nights: A summer-glow romance where attraction escalates fast and the “easy” option stops being available.
Pembroke Hills (publication order)
A country-club / elite-neighborhood lane (more “local world” than “shared universe”). Read in order if you want cameos to land cleanly.
- In Good Company: An ex’s-brother billionaire romance where one inconvenient connection turns into something you can’t keep quiet.
- Bad for Business: A hate-to-love workplace setup where forced proximity turns professional lines into suggestions.
- More than Friends: A friends-to-lovers romance where “we’re just roommates” becomes the lie everyone can see through.
- Long Story Short: A fourth installment that’s listed in major trackers; publication timing varies across listings, so treat it as upcoming/variable until it’s live at your preferred retailer.
Sutten Mountain (publication order)
A small-town mountain lane with connected standalones and a strong “community + history” feel.
- Rewrite Our Story: A second-chance romance where the past shows up with receipts and the town refuses to let anyone pretend it’s fine.
- Tempt Our Fate: A high-tension follow-up where desire and bad timing keep colliding until someone finally chooses.
- Chase Our Forever: A commitment-forward romance where building a future means dealing with the baggage everyone tried to ignore.
Mixtape (publication order)
A four-book contemporary series built around interconnected standalones (emotional continuity matters more than plot continuity).
- Founded on Goodbye: A love story that starts at the end, where walking away doesn’t stop the feelings.
- Founded on Temptation: A hookup-into-feelings romance where rules are made to be broken and then regretted.
- Founded on Deception: A trust-driven romance where one hidden truth changes how every moment reads.
- Founded on Rejection: An angsty, wounded-heart romance where fear of disappointment becomes the main obstacle.
Aftershock (publication order)
A two-book contemporary set. Book two reads best after book one because it builds on characters you meet first.
- The Consequence of Loving Me: A small-town, high-friction romance where grief, guilt, and desire tangle into something raw.
- The Road to Finding Us: A second-chance romance that deepens the world and pays off emotional threads introduced earlier.
Collections and multi-author projects
These are not required for any series order and are best treated as optional extras.
- Evil Queen (with others): A shared anthology-style collection where Kat Singleton contributes alongside other authors.

FAQs
Do any of these series overlap so much that I must read them in one big order?
No. They’re best handled as separate circles. The “spoiler risk” is mostly within each series due to cameos and friend-group continuity.
Can I read Pembroke Hills out of order?
You can, but you’ll lose the cleanest introductions and may spoil earlier couples’ outcomes in casual dialogue.
What’s the lowest-commitment starting point?
Black Tie Billionaires. Three books, clearly numbered, and it gives you a reliable feel for her current style.
Bottom line
If you want the simplest, most reliable starting place: Black Ties & White Lies, then finish Black Tie Billionaires in order. If you’re here for small-town mountain romance, start with Rewrite Our Story and read Sutten Mountain straight through.
