Virginia Heath Books in Order: The Complete Reading Guide

Does the order matter? Not much. Every Heath novel is a complete standalone with its own couple and its own happy ending. Her series each follow a family or a tight friend group, so reading in sequence lets you watch relationships bloom in the background and catch the sibling cameos — but you will never feel lost picking up book one of any series cold. Here is the full order.

The Wild Warriners (in order)

Her much-loved early series: four rakish, scandal-touched Warriner siblings, each finding love against the odds. Classic Regency warmth.

1. A Warriner to Protect Her (2017) — A disgraced family, a woman in danger, and the honourable brother who shelters her.
2. A Warriner to Rescue Her (2017) — A practical heroine and a charming Warriner brother, thrown together by circumstance.
3. A Warriner to Tempt Her (2018) — A wounded hero and the woman who refuses to let him hide from the world.
4. A Warriner to Seduce Her (2018) — The final brother meets his match in a spirited, secret-keeping heroine.

Talk of the Beau Monde (in order)

A trio of interconnected Regency romances centred on gossip, scandal sheets, and the ton's most talked-about matches.

1. The Viscount's Unconventional Lady (2021) — A secret gossip columnist and the viscount she cannot stop writing about.
2. The Marquess Next Door (2021) — Feuding neighbours forced into proximity, with sparks flying over the garden wall.
3. How Not to Chaperon a Lady (2021) — A reluctant chaperon, a charming rogue, and a courtship that keeps going hilariously off-script.

The Merriwell Sisters (in order)

The breakout comedic series that widened her audience: three journalist sisters, big schemes, and laugh-out-loud fake-relationship chaos.

1. Never Fall for Your Fiancee (2021) — An earl invents a fake fiancee to appease his matchmaking mother, then has to produce her. A viral fake-engagement favourite.
2. Never Rescue a Rogue (2022) — A secret-newspaper heroine and a fastidious hero with a scandalous past, bickering their way to love.
3. Never Wager with a Wallflower (2023) — The youngest sister and a reformed gambler running an orphanage school. Sweet, funny, and warm.

Miss Prentice's Protegees (in order)

Her most recent Regency comedy series, following the pupils of a very unconventional finishing school as they find love and cause trouble.

1. All's Fair in Love and War (2024) — The first of Miss Prentice's spirited protegees takes on a hero who thinks he knows better. Warm, witty, and full of scheming.
2. Look Before You Leap (2025) — Another of the school's headstrong graduates leaps into adventure and love without a plan.

A third Miss Prentice book has been announced as forthcoming, and Heath also writes a hugely popular Regency rom-com backlist beyond the series above, plus historical fiction under her own name. If a title looks unfamiliar, her official website keeps the definitive list. (Note: a couple of series names sometimes circulated online for Heath do not correspond to a confirmed Virginia Heath series, so we have listed only her verified titles here.)

Where to start

If you want the funniest, most bingeable entry point, start with Never Fall for Your Fiancee — the fake-engagement rom-com that made her a BookTok name. If you prefer a more traditional Regency family saga, begin with A Warriner to Protect Her. And if you only read one? Make it Never Fall for Your Fiancee; it is Heath at her sparkling best.
