Sadie Kincaid Books in Order (Updated 2026-02-14)

Sadie Kincaid writes multiple separate series, often with bold themes and high-intensity relationship dynamics. The important part is simple: pick the series you want, then read that series in order.

What can trip readers up is the naming. Several series carry the “Ruthless” label, but they’re still best treated as distinct sub-series unless you’re intentionally doing a full-catalog run.

A simple way to choose your starting point

If you want mafia romance first (most common entry):

• Start with New York Ruthless (longer arc, lots of extras) or Chicago Ruthless (short, direct series)

If you want a fantasy/paranormal arc instead:

• Start with Broken Bloodlines (its own continuity)

If you want a one-and-done sample:

• Start with The Perfect Fit (standalone)

The “don’t-get-spoiled” rules

• Within each numbered series: read in order.
• Across different series: you can switch freely, but you may miss small references if characters cameo elsewhere.
• Broken Bloodlines / Curse of Blood: treat these as separate continuity from the Ruthless mafia books.
