Willow Dixon is a Canadian author of contemporary MM romance. Her books feature college roommates, athletes, mechanics, former soldiers, dancers, single fathers, secret societies, bisexual awakenings, found families, and men discovering that an inconvenient attraction may be the relationship they need.
Her catalog currently divides into six reading groups: Heroes at Home, Never Have I Ever, Crimson Club, Legacy Mechanics, Silvercrest U, and the standalone novel Step Bully.

The connections between those groups are not equal. Never Have I Ever and Crimson Club share the clearest character links, while Legacy Mechanics expands the same broad social world through friends and relatives. Silvercrest U is a darker college-romance branch with secret societies and continuing suspense elements.
Most books follow a different couple and provide a complete romantic ending. Publication order is still recommended because later stories reveal earlier relationships and move supporting characters into central roles.

How the Series Differ
For Lower-Angst College Romance
Begin with Never Have I Ever: Punched My Roommate’s V-Card.
The four books follow college friends and roommates through bisexual awakenings, hidden online identities, teammate romances, and forbidden family connections.
For Adult Found-Family Romance
Begin with Straight Battle.
Heroes at Home follows former soldiers, security workers, and men rebuilding their lives through friendship, shared housing, and unexpected relationships.
For Nightlife and Found Family
Begin with Stepbrother Dearest.
Crimson Club revolves around dancers, employees, friends, relatives, and regulars connected to the same adult club.
For Blue-Collar Romance
Begin with Flipping the Script.
Legacy Mechanics follows men connected to an automotive repair shop and the families, friendships, and workplace relationships surrounding it.
For Dark College Romance
Begin with Wicked Games.
Silvercrest U is set at an elite invitation-only college where rival fraternities, secret societies, violence, hidden agendas, and morally ambiguous characters connect the books more closely than Dixon’s earlier series.
Heroes at Home Books in Order
Heroes at Home contains three interconnected MM romances. The books change couples, but the men share friendships, military or security backgrounds, and a growing found family.
Each romance reaches its own conclusion. Publication order preserves introductions and reveals the group’s development naturally.
1. Straight Battle
Straight Battle (2022): Banker Gage buys a house he does not know how to repair and offers recently divorced handyman Tyler a room in exchange for renovation work.
Both men have always considered themselves straight, but friendship and shared domestic life develop into attraction. The romance combines double bisexual awakening, forced proximity, home renovation, and two men learning that a relationship can grow from practical support.
This is the correct starting point for Heroes at Home.
2. Battle for the Top
Battle for the Top (2022): Former soldier Luke is assigned to work a night security contract with Jordan, an outgoing coworker whose warmth and confidence challenge Luke’s carefully controlled life.
Luke is accustomed to taking care of himself and resisting emotional dependence. His attraction to Jordan requires him to trust another man with both control and vulnerability.
The book follows a new couple but retains the found-family connections established in Straight Battle.
3. Battle to Surrender
Battle to Surrender (2022): Another member of the Heroes at Home circle confronts a relationship in which emotional surrender proves more difficult than surviving military or professional danger.
The romance develops through trust, recovery, and the support of men who have already created new lives after service.
This closes the three-book Heroes at Home sequence. Reading the first two books provides the fullest context for the returning friendships.
Can Heroes at Home Be Read Out of Order?
Yes. Each novel follows a different central couple and provides a complete ending.
The recommended order remains:
- Straight Battle
- Battle for the Top
- Battle to Surrender
Readers beginning later may learn which earlier men became couples, but they will not enter the middle of an unresolved romance.
Step Bully
Step Bully (2022): Two young men connected through a newly blended family are forced to confront hostility, attraction, and the emotional history behind a stepbrother relationship that has never been simple.
The romance uses forced proximity and a family connection to turn an antagonistic dynamic into something more vulnerable.
Step Bully is a standalone. It is not part of Crimson Club, despite sharing a forbidden step-family trope with Stepbrother Dearest.
Never Have I Ever Books in Order
Never Have I Ever follows a group of college roommates and friends as they explore sexuality, relationships, identity, and the difference between what they expected to want and what makes them happy.
The four novels are interconnected standalones. Each changes couples and has a complete romantic resolution.
1. Never Have I Ever: Punched My Roommate’s V-Card
Never Have I Ever: Punched My Roommate’s V-Card (2022): Beck walks in on his shy roommate Finn during a private moment, turning what should have been humiliating into an unexpectedly close friendship.
Beck begins questioning the heterosexual identity he has always assumed, while Finn agrees to a no-strings arrangement that becomes increasingly emotional. Their romance combines roommates, friends to lovers, opposites attracting, and bisexual awakening.
This book introduces the shared college house and is the safest starting point for the series.
2. Never Have I Ever: Submitted to My Enemy
Never Have I Ever: Submitted to My Enemy (2023): Alex is assigned to work with Kai, the arrogant classmate he blames for breaking his heart, while separately forming an anonymous online connection with a dominant man called MrWrong.
Alex does not know that his hated presentation partner and his ideal online match are the same person. The romance combines enemies to lovers, mistaken identity, kink exploration, and a relationship built through both digital honesty and real-world conflict.
Earlier roommates appear, but Alex and Kai’s story is complete.
3. Never Have I Ever: Had a Bromance with a Teammate
Never Have I Ever: Had a Bromance with a Teammate (2023): Baseball players Matt and Jax share training, a team, a bed on occasion, and an unusually close friendship that neither initially considers romantic.
A dare leads to a kiss that changes Matt’s understanding of both his sexuality and their bond. Their best-friends-to-lovers story must survive the possibility that dating could affect their friendship and baseball futures.
The novel is standalone-friendly but benefits from the established college group.
4. Never Have I Ever: Wanted My Brother’s Rival
Never Have I Ever: Wanted My Brother’s Rival (2023): Eli is forced back into contact with West, his older brother’s former rival and the man Eli once trusted before West disappeared and damaged the family.
West returns as Eli’s effective landlord and discovers the online work Eli has kept private. Resentment becomes attraction as Eli learns that the history between West and his brother is more complicated than he believed.
This enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance closes the four-book series.
The Recommended Never Have I Ever Order
Read the books in their numbered sequence:
- Never Have I Ever: Punched My Roommate’s V-Card
- Never Have I Ever: Submitted to My Enemy
- Never Have I Ever: Had a Bromance with a Teammate
- Never Have I Ever: Wanted My Brother’s Rival
The couples change, so a reader may select one book by trope. Publication order remains preferable because the shared house, friendships, and established couples carry forward.
Crimson Club Books in Order
Crimson Club follows men connected to the same nightlife venue. Dancers, employees, relatives, neighbors, and friends move between the six novels.
The series continues some social connections from Never Have I Ever, but it introduces its club setting and central characters clearly enough to work as a separate starting point.
1. Stepbrother Dearest
Stepbrother Dearest (2023): Two stepbrothers are forced to confront an attraction complicated by family history, private vulnerability, and the fear that acting on their feelings will disrupt everyone around them.
The romance begins when one man sees the other at an especially exposed moment, making it impossible to continue pretending their connection is purely familial.
This introduces the Crimson Club world and its recurring found family.
2. Fakers with Benefits
Fakers with Benefits (2023): A practical fake relationship between men connected to Crimson Club becomes more difficult to control when public performance gives them permission to act on private attraction.
The arrangement is supposed to solve an immediate problem rather than create a permanent partnership. Familiarity, jealousy, and unexpected emotional security gradually undermine that plan.
Earlier club characters return, but the featured couple receives a complete ending.
3. Best Served Cold
Best Served Cold (2023): A man seeking revenge is drawn into a relationship with someone connected to the grievance he has never been able to release.
The romance turns retaliation into emotional risk as the central characters discover that the past does not fit the simple story they have been telling themselves.
The Crimson Club community remains part of the couple’s support system.
4. Left on Read
Left on Read (2024): A man uses a dating app while trying to solve an unusual personal problem, only for digital conversation and real-life attraction to become tangled.
What begins as a transactional or carefully limited search develops into a relationship neither man can dismiss by closing the app.
The story combines online connection, awkward honesty, and intimacy that grows beyond its original purpose.
5. Dad Next Door
Dad Next Door (2024): Attraction develops between neighbors when a single father’s responsibilities and the younger or less settled man next door repeatedly bring them into each other’s lives.
The romance combines proximity, parenting, an age difference, and the discovery that domestic stability can be desirable rather than restrictive.
Earlier Crimson Club characters appear around the couple.
6. Their Wicked Ways
Their Wicked Ways (2024): Two men with morally questionable habits and complicated histories become involved in a relationship that tests how much darkness each is willing to accept in the other.
The book moves the Crimson Club world toward more dangerous and possessive territory while preserving the found-family connections of the series.
It is the sixth and final principal Crimson Club novel.
Should Crimson Club Be Read After Never Have I Ever?
It is recommended but not required.
Crimson Club grows from characters and social links established in Never Have I Ever. Reading the college series first provides more recognition when familiar people appear.
Readers interested primarily in club employees, dancers, fake relationships, single fathers, or darker heroes can begin with Stepbrother Dearest without becoming lost.
Legacy Mechanics Books in Order
Legacy Mechanics follows men connected to a family or community automotive shop. The series combines blue-collar work with friends-to-lovers tension, hidden identities, family expectations, and forbidden relationships.
The four books are interconnected standalones.
1. Flipping the Script
Flipping the Script (2024): A man is forced to reconsider the role he has always played when a relationship connected to the Legacy Mechanics garage changes how he sees his future.
The romance turns established expectations upside down through attraction, emotional discovery, and the realization that the life others planned for him may not fit.
This is the correct introduction to the shop and its recurring cast.
2. It’s Complicated
It’s Complicated (2024): Isaac has spent three years treating Jamie as his best friend, but their connection becomes harder to define when affection and attraction move beyond familiar boundaries.
The friends-to-lovers romance examines the risk of changing a dependable friendship into a relationship neither man can approach casually.
Earlier Legacy Mechanics characters remain active around them.
3. In Plain Sight
In Plain Sight (2025): Zander meets a new person connected to the garage and gradually realizes that the relationship he needs may have been developing openly in front of him.
The romance uses proximity, overlooked attraction, and the contrast between what other people notice and what the central characters refuse to acknowledge.
The series’ family and workplace connections continue.
4. Off Limits
Off Limits (2025): Asa has spent eight years living beneath the consequences of his past and the expectations attached to his family.
An attraction he considers forbidden forces him to decide whether remaining isolated is safer than risking the first relationship capable of giving him a different future.
This is the fourth and currently final Legacy Mechanics novel.
Are Legacy Mechanics and Crimson Club Connected?
They belong to the same broad Willow Dixon social world through character and family links, but they use different principal settings.
Crimson Club centers on nightlife and found family. Legacy Mechanics centers on the automotive shop, blue-collar work, and the people attached to it.
Completing Crimson Club first provides additional context, but Flipping the Script supplies enough information for new readers.
Silvercrest U Books in Order
Silvercrest U is a dark MM college-romance series set at an elite invitation-only university.
The books feature rival fraternities, secret societies, stalking, kidnapping, violent conspiracies, morally ambiguous heroes, and romantic relationships formed under pressure. Each volume follows a different central couple, but the background conflict continues more strongly than in Dixon’s earlier interconnected standalones.
Publication order is strongly recommended.
1. Wicked Games
Wicked Games (2025): A dangerous game inside Silvercrest U draws two men together as fraternity power, hidden rules, and attraction blur the boundary between opponent and ally.
The romance introduces the elite college, its rival groups, and the secretive forces controlling more of campus life than ordinary students realize.
This is the essential starting point for Silvercrest U.
2. Hide and Seek
Hide and Seek (2025): A relationship develops amid pursuit, concealment, and the growing realization that someone within Silvercrest U is treating danger as a game.
The central couple must decide whether hiding from the threat, or from their attraction, offers any real protection.
The continuing fraternity and secret-society background makes Wicked Games useful preparation.
3. Fight or Flight
Fight or Flight (2025): Two rival fraternity brothers are forced into a situation where neither fighting nor escaping can resolve the attraction and danger surrounding them.
Their rivals-to-lovers relationship unfolds while the larger conflict at Silvercrest U becomes more violent and personal.
This is not the preferred entry point because the college’s factions are already established.
4. X Marks the Spot
X Marks the Spot (2026): Xave is abducted from a rave alongside Damon, a member of a rival fraternity and the stranger with whom he unknowingly hooked up that same night.
After they return to school, Xave is ordered to investigate Damon as part of a plot against his fraternity. Obsession and reluctant protection replace suspicion when someone begins trying to kill Damon.
The story combines strangers to lovers, fraternity rivalry, bisexual awakening, stalking, forced proximity, and a protective morally ambiguous hero.
5. Secrets and Lies
Secrets and Lies (2026): Another Silvercrest U relationship is built inside a campus where concealed loyalties and false stories make it increasingly difficult to distinguish allies from enemies.
The central couple must confront both personal deception and the wider secrets threatening the school’s fraternities.
Published in June 2026, this is the newest released Willow Dixon novel as of the article’s update.
6. Like a Villain
Like a Villain (2026): The sixth Silvercrest U romance will follow another morally complicated relationship as the secret-society conflict moves into its next stage.
The title is scheduled for November 2026. Detailed plot information remains limited, so its precise couple and tropes should not be treated as confirmed until the final release description is available.
It belongs after Secrets and Lies.
Does Silvercrest U Need to Be Read in Order?
Yes, more strongly than Dixon’s other series.
Each book gives its central couple a romance, but the university, rival fraternities, secret groups, crimes, and recurring threats continue. Later books can reveal who survived earlier danger and how previous relationships ended.
The correct sequence is:
- Wicked Games
- Hide and Seek
- Fight or Flight
- X Marks the Spot
- Secrets and Lies
- Like a Villain

A Continuity-First Reading Plan
A practical full-catalog route keeps related social groups together rather than moving strictly by release date.
Begin with Heroes at Home
- Straight Battle
- Battle for the Top
- Battle to Surrender
This gives readers a completed adult found-family series before the catalog shifts toward college settings.
Continue Through the College House
- Never Have I Ever: Punched My Roommate’s V-Card
- Never Have I Ever: Submitted to My Enemy
- Never Have I Ever: Had a Bromance with a Teammate
- Never Have I Ever: Wanted My Brother’s Rival
The shared roommates and friendships make these books the clearest foundation for the connected younger characters.
Move into Crimson Club
- Stepbrother Dearest
- Fakers with Benefits
- Best Served Cold
- Left on Read
- Dad Next Door
- Their Wicked Ways
This preserves the transition from the college friend group into the club’s broader found family.
Follow the Mechanics
- Flipping the Script
- It’s Complicated
- In Plain Sight
- Off Limits
The shop setting provides a distinct four-book branch while retaining connections to the established world.
Finish with the Darkest Series
- Wicked Games
- Hide and Seek
- Fight or Flight
- X Marks the Spot
- Secrets and Lies
- Like a Villain after publication
Silvercrest U works best last because its darker suspense structure and ongoing campus conflict differ from the lower-stakes interconnected standalones.
Step Bully can be read anywhere because it is independent.

Novellas, Collections, and Bonus Scenes
No separately numbered novella sequence is required for Willow Dixon’s principal reading order.
Special editions may contain bonus chapters, alternate artwork, or additional scenes. Those extras belong after the book whose couple they feature and should not be counted as separate novels.
Audiobook box sets and collected editions also preserve the original series order. A complete-series audio package does not add another story to the bibliography.
Latest Willow Dixon Book
As of July 18, 2026, the latest released Willow Dixon novel is Secrets and Lies, Silvercrest U Book 5.
Secrets and Lies (2026): Another couple at Silvercrest U confronts personal deception while the university’s hidden factions and continuing dangers make trust increasingly difficult.
The book was released in June 2026. New readers should begin the series with Wicked Games rather than entering at Book 5.
Next Willow Dixon Book
Like a Villain is scheduled for November 2026 as Silvercrest U Book 6.
Like a Villain (2026): The next Silvercrest U romance will continue the elite college’s morally dark relationship stories and the broader conflict involving its rival groups.
Because the book remains upcoming as of July 18, 2026, final plot details and publication timing may change.
No later title has been confirmed reliably enough to place after it.
Frequently Asked Questions

Crimson Club contains six books and is her largest completed principal series.
It begins with Stepbrother Dearest and ends with Their Wicked Ways.
What order should Never Have I Ever be read in?
Read Punched My Roommate’s V-Card, Submitted to My Enemy, Had a Bromance with a Teammate, and Wanted My Brother’s Rival.
Each follows a different couple, but the roommates and friendships continue.
Do the Never Have I Ever books stand alone?
Yes. Every novel provides its featured couple with a complete romance.
Publication order remains preferable because later books reveal earlier couples and expand supporting characters.

Never Have I Ever first provides the most complete introduction, but Stepbrother Dearest can still begin Crimson Club independently.
Are Crimson Club and Legacy Mechanics connected?
They occupy the same broad character world through friends and relatives.
The principal settings and featured couples differ, so Legacy Mechanics can begin with Flipping the Script without requiring all six Crimson Club books.
Does Heroes at Home connect to the college books?
It is a more separate adult found-family series.
Readers do not need Heroes at Home before beginning Never Have I Ever or Crimson Club.
Is Step Bully part of Crimson Club?
No.
It is a standalone stepbrother romance published before Stepbrother Dearest.
Are Step Bully and Stepbrother Dearest the same book?
No.
They follow different couples and belong to separate continuities.

Each book changes couples, but the background suspense and secret-society conflict continue.
Publication order is strongly recommended.
What is the first Silvercrest U book?
Wicked Games (2025): A dark college romance introduces the rival fraternities, hidden rules, and dangerous power structures operating at Silvercrest U.

Choose Straight Battle for adult found family, Stepbrother Dearest for Crimson Club, Flipping the Script for mechanics, or Wicked Games for dark college suspense.
Final Reading Recommendation
Begin with Never Have I Ever: Punched My Roommate’s V-Card when you want the clearest introduction to Willow Dixon’s most interconnected characters. Complete all four roommate romances before moving into Crimson Club with Stepbrother Dearest.
Follow Crimson Club with Legacy Mechanics, beginning with Flipping the Script. Those series change couples but reward publication-order reading through recurring friends, relatives, and established relationships.
Save Silvercrest U for a separate darker route. Begin with Wicked Games and continue without rearranging the series through Secrets and Lies, then add Like a Villain after its scheduled November 2026 publication.
