Nicola Jane Books in Order (Updated April 10, 2026)

Nicola Jane is a Nottinghamshire-born romance author whose catalog leans heavily toward MC romance, dark romance, and connected relationship-driven series. The biggest reading-order issue is not timeline complexity.

It is keeping the separate series separate, because she has several distinct MC lines plus a mix of standalone and collaborative projects.

Start here, depending on what you want

If you want the cleanest current solo series, start with Chaos Demons MC. If you want the longest established Nicola Jane run, start with Kings Reapers MC. If you want a shorter entry point, Rebellion MC is the easiest place to test her style without committing to a long sequence.

The safest general rule is simple: read each named series in its own order, then move to the standalones and side projects later. That preserves character progression and avoids mixing unrelated continuities.

The best Nicola Jane reading order at a glance

For most readers, this is the most practical route:

1. Chaos Demons MC
2. Kings Reapers MC
3. Perished Riders MC
4. Rebellion MC
5. Only When…
6. Forever
7. Then pick from the shorter, uncertain, collaborative, or standalone sections

That order is not a shared-universe chronology. It is simply the clearest way to move from Nicola Jane’s most clearly structured solo series into the rest of the catalog.

Core solo series

Chaos Demons MC

This is one of the cleanest Nicola Jane series to follow because the numbering is straightforward and current.

1. Axel (2023): The first Chaos Demons MC novel and the correct place to start this series.
2. Grizz (2024): Continues the Chaos Demons line and should be read after Axel to keep the club relationships in order.
3. Fletch (2024): The third entry and best read in sequence rather than as a standalone jump-in.
4. Pit (2024): Keeps building the series cast, so it works best after the first three books.
5. Fury (2025): A later-series installment that lands better once the club dynamic is already established.
6. Atlas (2025): Another continuing Chaos Demons book and not an ideal entry point by itself.
7. Shadow (2026): The current listed seventh book and the latest main Chaos Demons release.

Recommended order: Read straight from Axel to Shadow.

Kings Reapers MC

This is one of Nicola Jane’s longer and more developed MC sequences, so publication/listed order matters more here.

1. Blinded By You (2022): Listed as book 0.5, so this works best as an optional prequel rather than the main starting point.
2. Riggs’ Ruin (2020): The first full Kings Reapers MC novel and the best place to begin the series proper.
3. Capturing Cree (2020): Continues the Kings Reapers line and should follow Riggs’ Ruin.
4. Playing Vinn (2022): Listed inside the Kings Reapers sequence on current catalog pages, so it is safest to keep it with this series rather than pull it out as a standalone.
5. Wrapped in Chains (2022): The next main listed entry and best read in the order given on the series page.
6. Saving Blu (2022): Continues the established Kings Reapers continuity and works best in sequence.
7. Riggs’ Saviour (2022): Listed as book 4.5, making it an in-between entry rather than a separate side read.
8. Taming Blade (2022): The fifth full book and part of the core Kings Reapers run.
9. Misleading Lake (2022): A later-series novel that should be saved until after the earlier club relationships are in place.
10. Surviving Storm (2022): Continues the late-series arc and is not a clean starting point by itself.
11. Raven’s Place (2022): The current listed eighth main Kings Reapers book and the natural end point of the sequence so far.

Recommended order: Start with Riggs’ Ruin. Add Blinded By You first only if you like prequels. Keep Riggs’ Saviour in its listed 4.5 position.

Perished Riders MC

This is another substantial MC line and should be read in order.

1. Riding Home (2022): Listed as book 0.5, so it works best as an optional prequel to the main series.
2. Maverick (2022): The first main Perished Riders MC novel and the right place to start the series proper.
3. Scar (2022): Follows Maverick and should be read second.
4. Grim (2022): The third main book and best read in sequence.
5. Ghost (2022): A mid-series installment that depends on the established club setup.
6. Dice (2022): Continues the Perished Riders line and belongs after Ghost.
7. Arthur (2023): The sixth main numbered book and part of the late-series run.
8. Albert (2023): Listed after Arthur and best treated as the next book in order.

Recommended order: Begin with Maverick. Use Riding Home as optional background.

Rebellion MC

This is a short and simple place to start if you want a lighter commitment.

1. Tag (2020): The first Rebellion MC book, also listed as Tag & Lucy’s Story, and the natural entry point.
2. Ace (2020): The second book, also listed as Ace & Mae’s Story, and best read after Tag.
3. Anton (2020): The third Rebellion MC novel, also listed as Anton & Piper’s Story, and the final book in the currently listed sequence.

Recommended order: Read all three in order if you want a compact Nicola Jane series.

Only When…

This is a short two-book series and one of the easiest modern entry points outside the MC-heavy lines.

1. Only When It Breaks (2025): The first book and the correct place to start the series.
2. Only When We Fall (2025): The second book and best read only after Only When It Breaks.

Recommended order: Read in order, with no reason to skip around.

Forever

A small two-book sequence with a clean order.

1. Forever, Never, After (2024): The opening book and the right place to begin the series.
2. Forever, Never, Always (2025): The second book and best read after Forever, Never, After.

Recommended order: Read both in order as listed.

Solo series with catalog quirks or limited confirmation

Deal With The Devil

This series exists, but the catalog pages show conflicting or odd date sequencing, so the safest approach is to follow the listed series order, not the displayed publication years.

1. A Deal With The Devil: The first listed book and the safest place to begin this continuity.
2. A Deal With The Devil 2: The second listed book and best read directly after book one.
3. High Stakes (2024): Listed with the series and best read after the first two books.

Recommended order: Follow the series numbering as listed, not the conflicting dates.

Splintered Hearts MC

This is the trickiest Nicola Jane series to map cleanly because the author-page catalog and other series aggregators do not present it in a perfectly stable way. The most cautious reading advice is to separate the numbered core books from the earlier linked titles commonly associated with the same continuity.

Safest core order:

1. Cooper: Listed as book one on the author page, so it is the safest modern entry point into the core numbered sequence.
2. Kain: Listed as book two and commonly associated with Harper & Kain’s Story.
3. Tanner: Listed as book three and commonly associated with Brook & Tanner’s Story.

Earlier linked titles commonly associated with this continuity:

4. Splintered Hearts: Often listed alongside the series and best treated as related reading rather than a separate universe unless future cataloging clarifies otherwise.
5. Harper & Kain’s Story: Commonly linked with Kain and best read with that character arc.
6. Brook & Tanner’s Story: Commonly linked with Tanner and best read with that character arc.

Recommended order: If you want the lowest-friction path, read Cooper, Kain, and Tanner first. Then add the earlier linked titles if you want the fuller background.

Newer or shorter solo lines

These are currently short enough that order is easy.

Satan Kings MC

1. Kade’s Downfall (2025): The first Satan Kings MC book and the correct place to start.
2. Kade’s Reckoning (2026): The second book and best read after Kade’s Downfall.

Royal Bastards MC – Nottingham Chapter

1. Bully’s Darkness (2025): The first Nottingham Chapter book and the proper entry point for this line.
2. Taz (2026): The second listed book and best read after Bully’s Darkness.

New Beginnings

Breaking Free (2024): Currently the only Nicola Jane-authored entry clearly tied to this series on the author page, so it can be read on its own for now.

Seven Deadly Sins

1. Wrath (2025): Nicola Jane’s listed contribution to this themed series and best treated as a separate project rather than part of her main solo reading path.

Collaboration and side-project series

These are best kept separate from the main solo Nicola Jane order.

Distraction (with F. F. Wingfield)

1. Dancing With Distraction (2024): The first book in this co-authored trilogy and the correct place to start.
2. Dancing With Delusion (2024): The second book and best read after Dancing With Distraction.
3. Dancing With Desire (2024): The third book and the natural end point of the trilogy.

Crazy Aces MC

Ryder (2024): Currently listed as Nicola Jane’s entry in this series, so it works as a separate side project rather than a main-series starting point.

Standalone novels

These are the books best treated as separate reads unless Nicola Jane later folds them into a named continuity.

1. Heart of Sin (2019): A standalone romance entry and safe to read independently.
2. Capturing a Renegade’s Heart (2020): Another separate novel and not currently listed as part of a numbered solo series.
3. Conquering A Black Soul (2020): Best treated as a standalone unless later series labeling changes.
4. One Temptation (2020): A separate catalog entry and readable on its own.
5. Lying To Love You (2023): Listed among Nicola Jane’s novels rather than under a numbered series.
6. Punish (2023): Another standalone-style listing rather than a core series installment.

Collections, anthologies, and contributed projects

These are optional for completionists and not part of the main reading path.

1. Drifters (2021): Listed under collections and best treated as a separate collaborative project.
2. Bold Characters (2021): Another collection entry rather than a core Nicola Jane series book.
3. Sins Of A Father (2026): Listed as part of Villains Anthology, so it should be treated as anthology-related rather than part of a solo series.

The simplest Nicola Jane reading plan

If you do not want to overthink it, use this:

1. Axel
2. Grizz
3. Fletch
4. Pit
5. Fury
6. Atlas
7. Shadow
8. Riggs’ Ruin
9. Capturing Cree
10. Wrapped in Chains
11. Saving Blu
12. Riggs’ Saviour
13. Taming Blade
14. Misleading Lake
15. Surviving Storm
16. Raven’s Place
17. Maverick
18. Scar
19. Grim
20. Ghost
21. Dice
22. Arthur
23. Albert

After that, choose either the shorter lines like Rebellion MC and Only When…, or sample the standalones.

Latest release status

The author page currently lists Shadow in January 2026, Kade’s Reckoning in February 2026, Sins Of A Father in March 2026, and Taz in October 2026 among new and upcoming books. That makes Shadow the latest main Chaos Demons MC release currently shown, while Taz appears to be a later scheduled release in another series.
