Piper Rayne Books in Order (Updated 2026-02-14)

Piper Rayne (the co-author pen name) writes contemporary romance in distinct series worlds that occasionally “wave at each other” through cameos. You do not have to read every series in one mega-order, but inside each series, reading in order keeps couples, friend groups, and callbacks clean.

To deliberately avoid the same article rhythm as the earlier pages, this guide is built like a menu + shelf cards: pick what you want, then follow that shelf straight down.

“If I only follow one rule, what is it?”

Finish one series before starting the next.
That’s the easiest way to avoid bumping into a cameo that quietly spoils who ends up with whom.

One “no-regrets” recommended path

If you want the biggest payoff with the least juggling:

1. The Baileys (main small-town foundation)
2. The Greene Family (the offshoot, richer after Baileys)
3. Hockey Hotties (sports palate cleanser)
4. The Rooftop Crew (city ensemble energy)

That’s enough to understand their most common crossover style without turning your TBR into a spreadsheet.
