Anna Bradley Books in Order: Every Series

Anna Bradley's romances are grouped into tidy, mostly-trilogy-length series. Each book is a complete standalone love story, so you never need the earlier books to follow along — but because families and friend groups recur within a series, reading a series in order gives you the full run of cameos and callbacks. Here's the lay of the land, series by series, oldest to newest.

Sutherland Scandals

Bradley's earliest Regency series, and a lovely place to see her voice take shape.

1. A Wicked Way to Win an Earl (2015)
2. A Season of Ruin (2016)
3. Lady Eleanor's Seventh Suitor (2017)
4. Lady Charlotte's First Love (2017)

Note: some booksellers split the later titles into a "Sutherlands" sub-series; they belong to the same family arc and read best in the order above.

The Somerset Sisters

Three sisters, three love stories, all published in a quick 2018 run — perfect if you like to binge without waiting.

1. More or Less a Marchioness (2018)
2. More or Less a Countess (2018)
3. More or Less a Temptress (2018)

Besotted Scots

Bradley heads north of the border for a set of Scottish-flavoured romances.

1. The Wayward Bride (2019)
2. To Wed a Wild Scot (2019)
3. For the Sake of a Scottish Rake (2020)

The Swooning Virgins Society

Arguably her most-loved series, and a strong pick for newcomers — a book club of scheming young ladies determined to matchmake their way through the ton.

1. The Virgin Who Ruined Lord Gray (2020)
2. The Virgin Who Vindicated Lord Darlington (2021)
3. The Virgin Who Bewitched Lord Lymington (2021)
4. The Virgin Who Captured a Viscount (2022)

Drop Dead Dukes

Her more recent Regency series, leaning into swoony duke fantasy.

1. Give the Devil His Duke (2023)
2. Damned If I Duke (2024)
3. The Duke's Christmas Bride (2024)

Bradley has also launched a newer Scottish-set series, Cairncross Castle, beginning with What Happens in the Highlands; because several entries are recent or forthcoming, check her author page for the latest confirmed titles and dates before buying the whole set.

Where to start

For the quickest way to fall for Bradley's voice, start with The Swooning Virgins Society and The Virgin Who Ruined Lord Gray — witty, warm, and a satisfying binge. If you'd rather read her chronologically, begin the Sutherland Scandals with A Wicked Way to Win an Earl. And if a Scottish setting is calling, Besotted Scots is a self-contained trilogy you can pick up on its own.
