Miranda May Books in Order (Updated July 1, 2026)

Miranda May writes reverse harem, why-choose, polyamorous romance across paranormal romance, omegaverse, dark romance, fantasy academy romance, mafia romance, and shared-world projects.

Her books are not one single universe. The safest way to read her is by continuity lane: Heatedverse for omegaverse reality-show romances, Fae Realms for paranormal and fae stories, Shadowverse for reapers and afterlife academy romance, and Veiled Dynasty for dark mafia and MMA romance.

Heated Books in Order

The Heated books are intertwined standalones. Each main book follows a new romance, but characters and the Heated reality-show setup carry across the series.

Knot My Reality (2023): The first Heated book introduces the omegaverse reality-show premise and sets up the pack-selection structure that defines the series.
A Very Knotty Christmas (2024): A short holiday story listed as book 1.5, best read after Knot My Reality as a seasonal extra.
Knot Their Reality (2023): The second Heated book follows a new omega entering the next season after past pack rejection and trying to find a lasting bond.
Knot Her Reality (2024): Season three centers on Evangeline, a bisexual omega whose appearance on Heated sparks public backlash before filming even begins.
Knot His Reality (2025): The fourth Heated book continues the reality-show structure with a new lead and another standalone pack romance.
Knot Our Reality (2025): The fifth Heated book brings the series deeper into found-family, pack, and reality-TV continuity.
Knot His Omega (2025): A Heated novella featuring a previous suitor; catalogs disagree on placement, so read it after the main first five Heated books.
A Heated Christmas (2026): A holiday Heated book listed for 2026, designed to celebrate the end of one Heated journey and the start of another.

Heated Reading Note

Publication order and series-number order do not line up perfectly because A Very Knotty Christmas is numbered 1.5 and Knot His Omega is listed differently across catalogs.

For first-time readers, use this practical order:

Knot My Reality (2023): Begin here for the show, the world, and the first full pack romance.
Knot Their Reality (2023): Continue with season two before reading the holiday short.
A Very Knotty Christmas (2024): Read as a bonus after the first two main books.
Knot Her Reality (2024): Continue with Evangeline’s season.
Knot His Reality (2025): Read next for the fourth full Heated romance.
Knot Our Reality (2025): Finish the first five main Heated books.
Knot His Omega (2025): Add this novella after the main five because it depends more on prior-series familiarity.
A Heated Christmas (2026): Read after the main Heated arc when available.

Champagne Falls Omegaverse Books in Order

Unwavering Bonds (2026): A Champagne Falls Omegaverse entry focused on pack bonds, omega identity, and the emotional pressure of finding a permanent place.
Unconditional Bonds (2027): A future Champagne Falls Omegaverse title, listed as the next book after Unwavering Bonds.

Read this series in order once more than one book is available.

The Secrets of Sorlphi Books in Order

The Secrets of Sorlphi is a complete paranormal and urban fantasy romance trilogy inside the Fae Realms Universe. Read all three books in order because Hadley’s crown, mates, enemies, and identity build directly across the trilogy.

Silent Secrets (2022): Hadley learns the supernatural world is real and that she is the next Fae Queen of Sorlphi, forcing her into a kingdom she never knew existed.
Sinful Secrets (2022): Hadley faces her coming coronation while dealing with betrayal, suitors, danger, and the pressure of choosing four consorts.
Sinister Secrets (2023): Hadley finally wears the Fae Queen’s crown, but the enemy steps into the open and threatens both her rule and her future with her men.

Fae Realms Universe Books in Order

Silent Secrets (2022): The first Sorlphi book begins Hadley’s fae-queen storyline.
Sinful Secrets (2022): The second Sorlphi book continues the betrayal and coronation conflict.
Sinister Secrets (2023): The third Sorlphi book closes the main Hadley trilogy.
Heatwaves (2025): A later Fae Realms novel that should be read after the Sorlphi trilogy if you want full universe context.
Aberrations (2026): A future Fae Realms novel listed for 2026, with exact release timing requiring confirmation before publication.

The Sorlphi trilogy is the required core. Heatwaves and Aberrations are later universe entries.

The Secrets of Sorlphi Collection

The Secrets of Sorlphi: The Complete Series (2023): A bundle of Silent Secrets, Sinful Secrets, and Sinister Secrets.

This is a collection, not a new story.

Shadow of Death Books in Order

Shadow of Death is a complete three-book reaper academy arc inside the Shadowverse. Read it in order because the heroine’s death, memory, mates, and afterlife role unfold as one continuing story.

On Death’s Door (2024): The heroine wakes after a violent death with missing memories and is sent to Scythe Academy in hell to train as a reaper.
Dancing with Death (2025): Her first collected soul shatters her again, pushing her toward vengeance, destiny, and harder choices with her mates.
Kiss of Death (2025): Secrets about her identity collide with unbonded mates and a brewing war between heaven, hell, humans, and supernatural beings.

Shadowverse Companion

Within the Shadows (2026): A Shadowverse side-character story involving reapers, gods, angels, demons, Olympus, and the aftermath of the heaven-and-hell war.

Read Within the Shadows after Kiss of Death. Some catalogs list it as a 2026 title, while the author page still marks it as coming 2026, so verify release status before labeling it live.

Wickedly Books in Order

Wickedly is a complete dark mafia duet inside the Veiled Dynasty Universe. Read these two together and in order.

Wickedly Obsessed (2023): Alessandra, mafia princess and Valentino heir, grows up around power, stepfamily tension, forbidden attraction, and the training required to inherit the family.
Wickedly Depraved (2023): Alessandra returns as the newly appointed head of the Valentino family, facing deaths, old desire, and the danger of ruling before she is ready.

Fighting Back Duet Books in Order

Fighting Back Duet is a complete dark MMA romance duet inside the Veiled Dynasty Universe. Read book one before book two.

Fighting the Darkness (2023): A traumatized heroine turns toward MMA after kidnapping, ransom, and the death of her twin brother leave her barely surviving.
Finding the Light (2024): The duet continues the healing, romance, and fight-centered arc after the first book’s trauma and rebuilding.

Veiled Dynasty Universe Reading Order

Wickedly Obsessed (2023): Start here for the Valentino mafia side of the universe.
Wickedly Depraved (2023): Finish Alessandra’s mafia duet.
Fighting the Darkness (2023): Move into the MMA side of the same broader dark-romance universe.
Finding the Light (2024): Finish the Fighting Back Duet.

The two duets can be read separately, but this order keeps the universe grouped cleanly.

Mayhemverse Books in Order

Mistress Mayhem (2023): A Mayhemverse story listed separately from the larger series groups, best treated as its own dark romance lane unless later books expand the universe.

Only one Mayhemverse title is currently listed.

Coven of Best Witches Books in Order

Coven of Best Witches is co-written with Kaytie Marie. These paranormal holiday romances have standalone couples or groupings, but there is crossover among the four friends, so reading in order is cleaner.

Lee (2024): The first Coven of Best Witches book begins the holiday paranormal romance setting with one of the coven friends finding her mates.
Belle (2024): Belle, a half-witch with no magic and a difficult past, tries to build her first real Christmas and finds more romance than expected through a dating app.
Chloe (2024): Chloe signs up for Kissed by Cupid to quiet everyone around her, only to confront a cursed love life and a possible fated-mates future.
Tali (2024): Tali’s book is commonly listed as the fourth Coven of Best Witches entry and completes the four-friend holiday romance structure.
Kissed by Cupid (2025): A Valentine’s Day follow-up that returns to Belle, Chloe, Lee, and Tali after they have found their mates.

Read the four main friend books before Kissed by Cupid.

Headless Riders MC Books in Order

Fated Caress (2026): The first Headless Riders MC book opens a paranormal motorcycle-club romance lane.
Fiery Caress (2027): The second Headless Riders MC book is listed as the next title in the series.

Read in order once Fiery Caress is available.

Standalone Novels

Melodic Bonds (2023): A rockstar omegaverse standalone also listed under the alternate title The Music That We Make.
12 Days of Revenge (2023): A co-written holiday dark romance with Brittany Wright, listed outside Miranda May’s main continuity lanes.

These can be read independently.

Shared-World Books by Miranda May

These books belong to multi-author worlds. Read them when you are following that shared-world project, or treat them as optional Miranda May entries.

A Jolly Christmas Disaster (2023): A 12 Dates of Christmas shared-world book co-written with Kaytie Marie.
The Monsters’ Christmas Party (2023): A 12 Dates of Christmas shared-world entry co-written with Kaytie Marie, centered on holiday paranormal romance.
Chloe’s Christmas of Cursed Chaos (2023): An earlier Christmas shared-world title associated with the material that later connects to Chloe’s Coven of Best Witches path.
Sold on Them (2024): Miranda May’s A Night To Remember Auction entry, built around a high-stakes auction-romance setup.

Luna (2026): Miranda May’s Beware of the Widows shared-world omegaverse entry, part of a setting about widows finding possessive packs.
Pack Temptress (2026): Miranda May’s Once Upon a Knot entry, listed as a fairy-tale-inspired omegaverse shared-world romance.

Evil Hearts (2025): A multi-author anthology listing, optional for completists.

Chronological Order

A strict chronological order is not useful for Miranda May.

Most of her books sit in separate lanes, and shared-world projects are not meant to create one master timeline. The only strong rule is to read direct arcs in order: Secrets of Sorlphi, Shadow of Death, Wickedly, Fighting Back Duet, Coven of Best Witches, Champagne Falls Omegaverse, and Headless Riders MC.

For Heated, read by series order with the holiday and novella entries placed after you know the main cast.

Latest Release Status

As of this update, the author’s site highlights Luna as a new release and lists A Heated Christmas and Aberrations as upcoming 2026 titles.

Some third-party catalogs also list Within the Shadows as a 2026 release, but the author page still describes it as coming 2026. Confirm the live retailer status before calling it released.

Future titles currently listed include Pack Temptress, Unconditional Bonds, and Fiery Caress.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Miranda May book should I read first?

Start with Knot My Reality if you want omegaverse. Start with Silent Secrets if you want a complete paranormal trilogy.

Are Miranda May’s books connected?

Some are connected by universe or series, but they are not all one timeline. Heatedverse, Fae Realms, Shadowverse, and Veiled Dynasty should be treated as separate reading lanes.

Do I need to read Heated in order?

Yes, publication-plus-series order is best. The books are intertwined standalones, but recurring characters and the show format make order helpful.

Where should I read Knot His Omega?

Read Knot His Omega after Knot Our Reality. Catalogs disagree on whether it is book 5.5 or book 7, but it works better after the main first five Heated books.

Is The Secrets of Sorlphi complete?

Yes. The core trilogy is Silent Secrets, Sinful Secrets, and Sinister Secrets.

Is Shadow of Death complete?

Yes. The main trilogy is On Death’s Door, Dancing with Death, and Kiss of Death. Within the Shadows is a related side-character story.

Are Wickedly and Fighting Back connected?

They are both grouped under the Veiled Dynasty Universe on the author’s site. Each duet should be read in order, but the duets can be read separately.

Are the Coven of Best Witches books standalones?

They have standalone romance arcs, but the friend-group crossover is strong. Read Lee, Belle, Chloe, Tali, then Kissed by Cupid.

Are shared-world books required?

No. Sold on Them, Rogue Treachery, Bookgasms, Luna, and Pack Temptress are optional unless you are following those shared worlds.

What is the newest Miranda May book?

The author site currently highlights Luna as a new release. Third-party catalogs also list several 2026 titles, so verify live retailer status before publishing a fixed “newest book” box.

Final Recommendation

Begin with Knot My Reality for Miranda May’s most accessible omegaverse entry point.

After Heated, choose your lane: Silent Secrets for fae paranormal romance, On Death’s Door for reaper academy romance, or Wickedly Obsessed for dark mafia romance. Shared-world books are optional and should be saved until their specific premise or crossover world interests you.
