Lana Williams Books in Order: The Complete Reading Guide
Lana Williams writes emotional historical romance with a social conscience — love stories woven around a group of characters working to right the wrongs of their world. Her bestselling Seven Curses of London series is her signature, a long and satisfying run of interconnected novels. Here is how to read Lana Williams in order, and where to begin.
Williams is a prolific author of sweet-to-sensual historical romance, best known for the Seven Curses of London series — a set of linked novels named for the real Victorian-era social ills that inspired their charitable premise. The books follow a connected cast whose paths keep crossing, so while each is a complete standalone with its own couple and happily ever after, the series is most rewarding read in order. It runs to roughly eleven books in total.
The Seven Curses of London — where to start
The confirmed opening books, in order, are the best on-ramp to the series:
- Loving the Hawke (2016) — the series opener that introduces the world and its found-family of do-gooders. Start here.
- Charming the Scholar (2016) — a brainy, bookish romance and a fan favourite of the early run.
- Rescuing the Earl (2016) — a rescue-driven love story that widens the cast further.
From there, the series continues across roughly eight more full-length novels — additional titles readers often mention include Falling for the Viscount, Daring the Duke, Redeeming the Lady and Enchanting the Duke. Because Williams has released and reordered box sets over the years, the simplest approach is to begin with the three books above and then follow the series in publication order from your retailer, which lists each entry's place in the run.

What to expect from Lana Williams
Williams' hallmark is warmth. Her heroes and heroines are usually decent people trying to do right by others as much as by each other, and the charitable-society backbone of the Seven Curses of London gives the romances a purpose beyond the ballroom. The heat level sits in the sensual mainstream — passionate but never explicit — which makes her an easy recommendation for readers who want emotion and steam in balance. If you enjoy an interconnected cast you can revisit book after book, this is a series you can happily disappear into.
Where to start with Lana Williams
Begin with Loving the Hawke, the first Seven Curses of London novel. It sets up the premise, introduces the recurring circle of characters, and gives you the clearest sense of Williams' voice. Read the opening three in order, then continue through the series in publication order. If you prefer to sample a single book first, Charming the Scholar is a frequently recommended standalone entry for its bookish, slow-building romance.
