Lydia Hall Books in Order (Updated April 14, 2026)

Lydia Hall’s catalog is not one long continuous universe. It is a stack of short romance lines, some contemporary, some office or medical, some mafia-adjacent, and some fully mob-focused. The easiest way to read her is by series block: pick a line, read it straight through, then move to the next one.

For readers who want the darker, more connected side of her work, the clearest anchor points are Corrupt Bloodlines, Wounded Hearts, and Kings of the Underworld. For readers who want lighter or more contemporary setups first, the better entry points are Big Bad Braddock Brothers, Spicy Office Secrets, or Forbidden Attraction.

How to use this page

There are really three Lydia Halls to choose from:

• the early contemporary lane
• the forbidden/medical/office lane
• the mafia and mob-romance lane

If your goal is the strongest “Lydia Hall experience,” start with the mafia side. If your goal is variety, begin earlier and move forward by publication period.

The full Lydia Hall reading order by series

Big Bad Braddock Brothers

1. Burning Love (2021): The first Braddock Brothers book and the best place to begin Lydia Hall’s earlier contemporary family-romance catalog.
2. Tell Me You Love Me (2021): Continues the brother-centered setup and works best after the opener has established the family dynamic.
3. Second Chance at Love (2022): Keeps the same connected sibling framework going, shifting the spotlight while staying in the same world.
4. Pregnant: Who is the Father? (2022): Pushes the series further into high-drama family romance and is best read after the first three books.
5. Pregnant With The Bad Boy (2022): The fifth Braddock book and the natural last stop in this series run.

Spicy Office Secrets

1. Caught in the Middle (2022): Opens Lydia Hall’s office-romance line and sets the tone for the workplace and secret-driven setups that follow.
2. Faking It For The Boss (2022): A boss-centered follow-up that fits best once the series style is already familiar.

7. Corporate Heat (2024): A later seasonal-themed office-romance entry and currently the last listed book in this series.

Forbidden Attraction

1. My Mommy’s Boyfriend (2022): Starts this taboo-leaning line and establishes the series’ focus on forbidden, high-intensity relationship setups.
2. Daddy’s Best Friend (2023): Continues the same age-gap and off-limits pattern, best read after the opener.
3. Daddy Undercover (2023): Keeps the series in its protective, secretive, forbidden-romance mode rather than resetting it.

1. Dangerous Games (2023): The start of Lydia Hall’s clearest early Bratva-family sequence and the best mafia entry point for many readers.

1. Merciless Monster (2023): Opens this larger mafia line with a secret-child setup and signals a more expansive dark-romance phase in Lydia Hall’s catalog.
2. Ruthless Beast (2023): Continues the same mafia-family tone and should be read after the opener.
3. Devilish Prince (2024): Adds a kidnapped-surgeon and mafia-prince setup, showing the series leaning harder into high-stakes mob romance.
4. Relentless Refuge (2024): Centers on a sham marriage to a ruthless don and keeps the family-and-danger framework growing.
5. Lethal Lover (2024): Extends the series with another dark relationship built inside the same violent romantic world.
6. Vicious Vows (2024): Pushes the marriage-and-mafia themes further, fitting best after the earlier books.
7. Sinister Savior (2024): Continues the same connected dark-romance sequence rather than acting as a fresh jumping-on point.
8. Wicked Union (2024): The eighth listed Wounded Hearts book and the current last stop in this long mafia line.

SEAL’s Protection

1. Guarded by the SEAL (2024): Opens this protective-romance series with an ex-SEAL bodyguard setup and a heroine threatened by her abusive ex.

Kings of the Underworld

1. His Reluctant Bride (2025): The first Kings of the Underworld novel, built around a forced marriage into the Crowley world after a father’s death in Dublin.
2. His Hidden Heir (2026): Continues the series with a heroine returning to a Bratva pakhan she once betrayed while fleeing a killer.
3. Vows of Blood (2026): The third book, centered on a substitute bride situation after one sister runs, and best read after the first two.

2. Blood Orange Christmas (2025): Continues the seasonal mob-romance thread and belongs directly after book one.

Bratva Daddies

1. Daddy’s Little Secret (2026): Opens this newest Bratva line with an age-gap affair, a pregnancy secret, and the threat of war.
2. Daddy’s Forbidden Prize (2026): Continues the series in the same possessive Bratva mode and should be read second.
3. Daddy’s Hidden Heir (2026): The third listed Bratva Daddies book and the current last visible entry.

Standalone novels

1. New Beginnings (2022): A standalone novel outside the named series, best treated as separate from Lydia Hall’s connected reading paths.
2. Corporate Connection (2022): Another standalone contemporary title that does not need to be inserted into any series order.

Two reading paths that actually make sense

Route A: the dark-romance route

1. Dangerous Games
2. Dangerous Refuge
3. Dangerous Obsession
4. Dangerous Vengeance
5. Dangerous Secrets
6. Merciless Monster
7. Ruthless Beast
8. Devilish Prince
9. Relentless Refuge
10. Lethal Lover
11. Vicious Vows
12. Sinister Savior
13. Wicked Union
14. His Reluctant Bride
15. His Hidden Heir
16. Vows of Blood
17. Daddy’s Little Secret
18. Daddy’s Forbidden Prize
19. Daddy’s Hidden Heir

This is the strongest path for readers who came for mafia, Bratva, dark marriage bargains, and secret-baby stakes.

Route B: the broad sample route

1. Burning Love
2. Caught in the Middle
3. My Mommy’s Boyfriend
4. Dangerous Games
5. Merciless Monster
6. Guarded by the SEAL
7. Silver Fox’s Secret Baby
8. Merry Mix-Up
9. His Reluctant Bride
10. Daddy’s Little Secret

This route is better if you want to test each side of the catalog before deciding where to settle in.

Where most readers should start

1. Start with Dangerous Games if you want Lydia Hall at her most clearly organized and series-driven.
2. Start with Merciless Monster if you want the bigger mafia line with more room to grow.
3. Start with His Reluctant Bride only if you want the newer Irish-mafia branch specifically.
4. For readers who are not looking for mafia at all, Burning Love is the cleanest early non-mafia entry.

Latest release status

The newest visible Lydia Hall books on the main bibliography page are from 2026. The listed 2026 titles include Daddy’s Little Secret, His Sinful Valentine, Daddy’s Forbidden Prize, His Hidden Heir, Daddy’s Hidden Heir, and Vows of Blood. That means Lydia Hall is currently publishing across both mafia and holiday lines, with Bratva Daddies and Kings of the Underworld functioning as the newest active series.

Final recommendation

Lydia Hall is best read in clusters, not as one giant master list. The most useful advice is to pick your lane first. For dark romance, begin with Corrupt Bloodlines. For a bigger mafia run, move next to Wounded Hearts. For the newest material, read Kings of the Underworld and then Bratva Daddies.
