Rachael Stewart Books in Order (Updated May 29, 2026)

Rachael Stewart writes contemporary romance across both sweeter Harlequin/Mills & Boon titles and spicier romance, including billionaire romance, forbidden romance, second-chance romance, festive romance, and erotic romance.

Her books do not form one shared world. The cleanest reading method is to choose a series, read that mini-series in order, and treat the standalones separately.

For new readers, the best starting point is Getting Dirty if you want Stewart’s hotter Harlequin Dare style, or Tempted by the Tycoon’s Proposal if you want her gentler Harlequin Romance style.

Best Starting Points

Choose by tone rather than by publication date.

1. Tempted by the Tycoon’s Proposal – best for a warm single-dad romance.
2. Getting Dirty – best for a two-book spicy series.
3. Secrets Behind the Billionaire’s Return – best for a linked billionaire duet.
4. Filthy Rich Temptation – best for Stewart’s newer, higher-heat billionaire series.
5. The Puck Stops Here – best for readers following the multi-author Karma Club series.

Rachael Stewart Books in Publication Order by Series

Twin Swap Seductions

Included. Read in order.

This is a two-book twin-centered romance sequence. Read The Good Sister first because it establishes the twin-swap setup before The Bad Sister shifts attention to the other sister.

1. The Good Sister (2018): Isla agrees to swap lives with her actress twin and is pulled into a forbidden Hollywood romance with a celebrity crush who was never meant for her.
2. The Bad Sister (2019): Carrie’s “bad twin” reputation and Hollywood life collide with a second-chance romance, giving the duet its more defiant companion story.

Getting Down & Dirty

Included. Read in order.

This is Stewart’s clearest early spicy series. The books share a branded, high-heat Harlequin Dare feel, and publication order is the safest path.

1. Getting Dirty (2020): Ash investigates socialite Coco Lauren, only for a dirt-digging job to become a much more personal and dangerous attraction.
2. Unwrapping the Best Man (2020): A festive, high-heat sequel brings a guarded best man into a Christmas romance built around temptation, control, and emotional thawing.

Claiming the Ferrington Empire

Included. Read in order.

This is a billionaire duet. Read Secrets Behind the Billionaire’s Return before The Billionaire Behind the Headlines because the series title points to a linked family or empire setup.

1. Secrets Behind the Billionaire’s Return (2022): A billionaire returns with unfinished emotional business, forcing old secrets and unresolved attraction back into the open.
2. The Billionaire Behind the Headlines (2022): Bree escapes to a village bakery, only for notorious billionaire Theo to challenge both her guarded heart and the public image surrounding him.

Billionaires for the Rose Sisters

Included. Read in order.

This is a two-book sister-linked series. Each book has its own romance, but the shared family frame makes publication order the better choice.

1. Billionaire’s Island Temptation (2023): A summer island setting turns an apparently temporary fling into a romance with deeper consequences.
2. Consequence of Their Forbidden Night (2023): Best friends cross a line during one forbidden night, and the aftermath forces both the friendship and the romance to change shape.

How to Win a Monroe

Included. Read in order.

This is a two-book linked romance series. Publication order preserves the family continuity and the emotional setup around the Monroe connection.

1. Off-Limits Fling with the Heiress (2023): An heiress and a billionaire enter forbidden territory when attraction complicates the boundaries they are supposed to respect.
2. My Unexpected Christmas Wedding (2023): A fake engagement between best friends becomes a Christmas romance that tests whether convenience can turn into commitment.

Sun, Sea and Swept Away

Included. Read in order.

This is a Harlequin Romance continuity with glamorous, beach-centered romance. Read in publication order unless you are only sampling one standalone.

1. What Happens at the Beach… (2025): A beach setting creates the conditions for temptation, escape, and a romance that starts outside the heroine’s normal life.
2. Summer with the Billionaire (2025): A summer romance with a billionaire continues the sun-and-escape tone of the series while keeping the focus on a new central couple.
3. Cinderella’s Fling with the Billionaire (2025): A Cinderella-style fling with a billionaire closes the listed sequence with a glamour-and-fantasy romance setup.

Filthy Rich Billionaires

Included. Ongoing as of this update. Read in order.

This is Stewart’s newer Boldwood billionaire romance series. Read in order because the series branding and release sequence suggest a connected high-heat billionaire line, even if each romance focuses on a different couple.

1. Filthy Rich Temptation (2025): Theo’s controlled billionaire life is disrupted when Sadie, his best friend’s little sister, moves in with her young daughter and revives an off-limits attraction.
2. Filthy Rich Redemption (2026): Taylor wants a baby without romantic complications, but asking her best friend to help turns a practical arrangement into a much more emotional bargain.
3. Filthy Rich Seduction (2026): The third Filthy Rich Billionaires book is announced for November 2026, but the full plot details were not reliably available during this update.

Standalone Rachael Stewart Novels

Optional. Read in any order.

These books do not need to be read before or after the linked series. Choose by trope or heat level.

1. Unshackled (2018): Abi Taylor tries to escape her controlling stepfather and is drawn into a dark, erotic romance about power, money, corruption, and freedom.
2. Mr One-Night Stand (2019): A no-names encounter becomes impossible to contain when the hero turns out to have a professional connection to the heroine’s real life.

7. Our Little Secret (2021): Faye’s Tuscan wedding-week duties are complicated when a late-night swim leads to a forbidden romance with her best friend’s older brother.
8. Reawakened (2021): A professional encounter starts badly when the heroine sees a client naked, opening an older-woman, younger-man romance with kink, luxury, and renewed desire.
9. Beauty and the Reclusive Millionaire (2021): A Greek escape brings an old flame back into the heroine’s life, turning distance and pain into a second chance.
10. My Year with the Billionaire (2022): Summer must live for a year with billionaire Edward Fitzroy on a Scottish estate, reopening an old connection neither of them fully left behind.
11. Unexpected Family for the Rebel Tycoon (2024): A rebel tycoon and his neighbor are drawn into a romance that shifts from proximity to a possible found family.
12. Fake Fling with the Billionaire (2024): Ex-princess Cassie hides in Paris after a high-profile divorce, only for a scandalous first meeting with billionaire Hugo to become a fake romance.

Novellas and Short Stories

Optional. Separate from the main romance series.

• The Centurion’s Wife (2019): Aurelia is left in a Roman household with body slaves Lucia and Lucius, creating an erotic historical setup around service, protection, and desire.

Multi-Author Series Contributions

These books belong to larger continuities written by more than one author. You can read Stewart’s entry alone for the central romance, but the wider series order matters if you want the full continuity.

Billion-Dollar Matches

Separate multi-author continuity. Stewart contributed book 2.

• Surprise Reunion with His Cinderella (2021): A paradise reunion gives former lovers one week to face what went wrong and decide whether the old connection can become permanent.

Knights of Ruin

Separate multi-author continuity. Stewart’s relevant title is Mr. Temptation.

• Burn for You / Ruined / Mr. Temptation / Best Laid Plans (2022): This collection places Stewart’s Mr. Temptation inside a multi-author package, but it does not create a new Stewart reading order.

One Year to Wed

Separate multi-author continuity. Stewart contributed book 2.

• Reluctant Bride’s Baby Bombshell (2024): An unwilling-bride setup is complicated by an unexpected pregnancy, making Stewart’s entry a marriage-and-baby romance within the wider continuity.

Royal Sarala Weddings / Wed in the Outback

Separate multi-author continuity. Stewart contributed book 2.

• Outback Bride’s Baby Bombshell (2024): An outback wedding framework turns into a baby-bombshell romance, best placed with the other Royal Sarala Weddings books if reading the whole continuity.

The Karma Club

Separate multi-author continuity. Stewart contributed book 3.

The full Karma Club order is:

1. The Payback Plan by Amy Andrews
2. How to Get Even by Pippa Roscoe
3. The Puck Stops Here by Rachael Stewart
4. Settling the Score by Clare Connelly

Stewart’s book:

3. The Puck Stops Here (2025): Journalist Astrid Sinclair enters the hockey world to help the Karma Club’s revenge plan, but attraction to the wrong twin turns the assignment into a forbidden sports romance.

Read the full Karma Club sequence in order if you want the airport-meeting setup and revenge-pact continuity. Read The Puck Stops Here alone if you only want Stewart’s hockey romance.

Outback Kings

Separate multi-author continuity. Stewart contributed book 4.

The full Outback Kings order is:

1. Cinderella’s Billionaire Boss by Michelle Douglas
2. City Girl in the Outback by Ally Blake
3. Stuck with Her Impossible Ex by Kandy Shepherd
4. The Billion-Dollar Heir Returns by Rachael Stewart

Stewart’s book:

4. The Billion-Dollar Heir Returns (2026): A prodigal billionaire returns to the outback in an enemies-to-lovers romance that closes Stewart’s part of the Outback Kings continuity.

Release dates vary by market, with publisher and retailer listings placing it in August or September 2026.

Box Sets and Collections

2. Harlequin Romance September 2023 Box Set (2023): A multi-author Harlequin box set; read Stewart’s included story according to its original series placement.
3. Dare Collection and Harlequin Dare box sets: These collect Harlequin Dare titles with other authors and should not be used as the main reading order.
