Miranda Neville Books in Order: The Complete Reading Guide
Rare-book collectors, sharp-tongued heroines, and Regency London at its most quotable — Miranda Neville built a devoted following with clever, warm-hearted historicals that never take themselves too seriously. Two connected series make up the heart of her catalog. Here they are in order, with a clear place to begin.
Neville's Regencies are the bookish reader's comfort read: heroes who care as much about a first edition as a waltz, heroines who give as good as they get, and banter that crackles off the page. Her two main series are the Burgundy Club, built around a society of book collectors, and the Wild Quartet, following four friends whose reputations precede them. Each novel is a standalone romance, but reading a series in order lets the friendships and running jokes pay off.
The Burgundy Club series in order
Named for a fictional club of rare-book enthusiasts, this quartet is where Neville's trademark bibliophile romance really takes hold.
- The Wild Marquis (2010) — a disreputable marquis and a bookshop owner cross paths over a missing volume, and neither expects to lose their heart in the bargain.
- The Dangerous Viscount (2010) — a bookish, buttoned-up hero and the woman who dares him out of his shell. A slow-burn favourite among longtime fans.
- The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton (2011) — amnesia, a fake engagement, and a governess with a very inconvenient sense of humour. Widely cited as the funniest of the four.
- Confessions from an Arranged Marriage (2012) — a marriage-of-convenience romance that closes the series with real emotional heft beneath the wit.

The Wild Quartet series in order
Four friends, each a little too wild for polite society, get their turn. This later series leans into bigger personalities and a touch more heat while keeping Neville's signature banter.
- The Importance of Being Wicked (2012) — an heiress and a duke-to-be with clashing tastes and undeniable chemistry. The perfect opener.
- The Ruin of a Rogue (2013) — a fortune-hunting charmer meets his match in a heroine who has decided to reform him whether he likes it or not.
- Lady Windermere's Lover (2014) — a tense, grown-up marriage-in-trouble romance about second chances and hard-won trust.
- The Duke of Dark Desires (2015) — a governess with a secret mission and a brooding duke, closing the quartet on its most dramatic note.
Where to start
Begin with The Wild Marquis. It is the first Burgundy Club book, the cleanest introduction to Neville's world of book collectors and quick-witted couples, and it sets up the friendships that thread through the rest of the series. If you would rather start with the slightly steamier, higher-drama run, jump into the Wild Quartet with The Importance of Being Wicked. And if you only read one? Many fans point to The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton for the sheer comic timing — but it lands best once you know the Burgundy Club crew.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start with Miranda Neville?
Start the Burgundy Club with The Wild Marquis — it introduces her signature bibliophile heroes and witty banter, and the collectors' club links the four books.
Do the Burgundy Club and Wild Quartet connect?
They are separate Regency series, so you can read either first. The Burgundy Club centres on book collectors; the Wild Quartet follows four friends with wilder reputations. Both work as standalones.
Are Miranda Neville's books standalones?
Yes. Every novel tells one couple's complete story with its own happy ending. Reading in order just lets you enjoy the recurring friends and cameos.
