Tara Wyatt’s catalog is easiest to read as separate lanes: sports romance, romantic suspense, small-town “cozy-magic” romance, family/Manhattan romance, and a darker criminal-underworld spin-off. Most lanes don’t cross, but within a lane you’ll see recurring friend groups and spoilers for earlier couples if you jump around.

One-minute decision
- Want her biggest, most “core” contemporary lane? Start with Stupid Love (The Prescotts #1).
- Want sports romance? Start with Stealing Home (Dallas Longhorns #1).
- Want small-town with a touch of magic? Start with Just Like Magic (Gossamer Falls #1).
- Want romantic suspense with protectors? Start with Necessary Risk (Bodyguard #1).
- Want darker, criminal-underworld heat? Start with Tease Me (Kings of Hell’s Kitchen #0.5).
The Prescotts (publication order)
A connected contemporary series with overlapping family/friend dynamics. Read straight through for the cleanest relationship continuity.

The cleanest way to read Tara Wyatt
- Pick one lane and finish it before switching.
- If you want both Prescotts and Kings of Hell’s Kitchen, read Prescotts first, then start Kings at Tease Me.
- For everything else, publication order inside the series is the safest default.
