Meghan March Books in Order: Every Romance Series, Trilogy, and Standalone

If you enjoy romance novels with powerful personalities, complicated relationships, dangerous secrets, and characters who refuse to play by the rules, Meghan March has plenty to explore. Her books range from steamy billionaire romances to mafia drama, small-town love stories, and historical romance.

The tricky part is that several of her series overlap. A character you meet in one trilogy might reappear in another book, and a later story may make more sense if you already know the people involved. Below, I’ve organized her books by series, with the main reading order for each and notes on newer releases announced for 2026 and 2027.

Meghan March Books in Order by Series

Meghan March recommends starting with the Beneath series and following her suggested reading order if you want to experience the connections as they developed. However, reading by series is also a perfectly good approach, particularly if you prefer finishing one romance arc before starting another.

1. The Beneath Series

Set largely in New Orleans, the Beneath series features interconnected contemporary romances. Each book focuses on a different couple, so the novels can be enjoyed individually, although reading in order helps with character crossovers.

1. Beneath This Mask (2014)

The first book introduces the world of the series and its mix of attraction, secrets, and complicated pasts. It is the natural starting point for readers who want to experience the series from the beginning.

2. Beneath This Ink (2015)

The second novel follows another romance in the same interconnected world. It expands the cast and builds on the atmosphere established in the first book.

3. Beneath These Chains (2015)

This installment brings another couple to the center of the story, combining emotional complications with the intense chemistry associated with March’s romances.

4. Beneath These Scars (2015)

The fourth book continues the series with another standalone love story. Returning to the earlier books first helps make the shared world feel more familiar.

5. Beneath These Lies (2016)

This romance adds another set of secrets and personal complications to the series. It is best read after the first four books if you want the full sequence of character appearances.

6. Beneath These Shadows (2016)

This book has particularly useful connections to characters from the Dirty Billionaire trilogy and Dirty Girl duet. Reading those stories beforehand can add context to the crossover.

7. Beneath the Truth (2017)

The seventh book continues the interconnected romance series and gives readers another relationship to follow within its established world.

8. Beneath These Expectations (expected January 2027)

This announced novella returns to the Beneath world. Its planned release is in 2027, so check the latest publication details before treating it as available.

2. The Dirty Billionaire Trilogy

This trilogy is one of Meghan March’s best-known entry points. It centers on a steamy billionaire romance and follows the same couple across three connected books, so reading them in order matters.

1. Dirty Billionaire (2015)

The first book introduces Creighton Karas, a wealthy and commanding businessman, and Holly Wix, a country singer whose life takes an unexpected turn. Their attraction sets off a relationship filled with power, desire, and difficult choices.

2. Dirty Pleasures (2015)

The story of Creighton and Holly continues as their relationship faces new complications. This is a direct continuation, not a separate romance.

3. Dirty Together (2015)

The trilogy concludes the couple’s central story. Save it until you have read the first two books to avoid missing the emotional buildup.

4. Dirty Fantasy (2026, prequel novelette)

This shorter prequel revisits the Dirty world before the main trilogy. It is an optional extra for readers who already know the series, though it can also be read before the first novel if you prefer chronological context.

3. The Dirty Girl Duet

The Dirty Girl duet is another pair of interconnected romances in March’s wider romance universe. It is also relevant to the crossover storyline in Beneath These Shadows.

1. Dirty Girl (2016)

The first book introduces the central relationship and the complications that bring the characters together. It sets up the romantic conflict that continues in the sequel.

2. Dirty Love (2016)

The second book carries the couple’s story forward and brings the duet to its conclusion. Read it directly after Dirty Girl.

4. The Real Good Duet

This duet delivers another contemporary romance story in the interconnected Dirty world.

1. Real Good Man (2017)

The opening novel introduces the central couple and the circumstances behind their relationship. It establishes the romantic conflict that carries into the second book.

2. Real Good Love (2017)

The sequel continues the same couple’s story. Read it after Real Good Man for the complete arc.

5. The Real Dirty Duet

The Real Dirty books combine contemporary romance with the music world and complicated relationships.

1. Real Dirty (2018)

The first installment sets up the central romance and introduces the characters whose relationship drives the duet.

2. Real Sexy (2018)

The second novel continues the same story and resolves the central relationship arc.

6. The Dirty Mafia Duet

These books bring darker romantic tension and mafia-related themes into the wider Dirty universe.

1. Black Sheep (2018)

The first novel introduces the central couple and the secrets surrounding their relationship. It is the setup for the duet’s more dangerous romantic conflict.

2. White Knight (2018)

The sequel continues the story established in Black Sheep. Read it second to follow the couple’s relationship through its full arc.

7. The Dirty Series: Additional Stories

The wider Dirty world includes additional titles and shorter works beyond the duets and trilogy.

• Cowboy Superstar (2026): A spin-off novelette in the Dirty world. It offers readers another short visit to the interconnected universe.
• Dirty Fantasy (2026): The prequel novelette listed above, set before the main Dirty Billionaire trilogy.

For the smoothest experience, read the longer trilogy and duets first, then return to the shorter stories and spin-offs.

8. The Mount Saga

The Mount books are among March’s signature dark contemporary romances, with power struggles, dangerous alliances, and intense relationships. The main trilogy should be read in order, followed by the later books in the wider saga.

1. Ruthless King (2017)

Lachlan Mount is a powerful New Orleans crime boss, and Keira Kilgore becomes entangled in his world after a debt puts her in a vulnerable position. Their relationship drives this dark, high-stakes romance.

2. Defiant Queen (2017)

Keira and Mount’s story continues as the balance of power between them becomes increasingly complicated. The second book picks up where Ruthless King leaves off.

3. Sinful Empire (2017)

The final book in the original Mount Trilogy brings Keira and Mount’s central story to its conclusion. Read it after the first two novels.

4. Redemption (2023)

This later Mount Saga novel returns to the series’ world after the original trilogy. It is best enjoyed after you know the central characters and their history.

5. Resurrection (2026)

This Mount Saga novella offers another return to the world of the series. Readers should complete the original trilogy before moving on to the later saga stories.

9. The Savage Trilogy

The Savage Trilogy continues the interconnected romance universe with a new central relationship and a darker, high-intensity tone.

1. Savage Prince (2018)

The first book introduces the central characters and the complicated attraction at the heart of their story.

2. Iron Princess (2018)

The second installment continues the couple’s relationship as their circumstances and loyalties become more difficult to manage.

3. Rogue Royalty (2018)

The trilogy concludes the main romantic storyline. Read it after Savage Prince and Iron Princess.

10. The Sin Trilogy

The Sin Trilogy blends contemporary romance, family complications, and secrets. The books follow one connected story, so it is best not to skip ahead.

1. Richer Than Sin (2019)

The opening novel introduces a romance complicated by family history and circumstances that make the relationship difficult. It establishes the emotional conflict behind the trilogy.

2. Guilty as Sin (2019)

The second book continues the central relationship and develops the problems introduced in the opener.

3. Reveling in Sin (2019)

The final installment completes the trilogy’s main romantic arc. Read it last to experience the full story.

11. The Forge Trilogy

This series offers another route into March’s interconnected romance world, with dangerous situations and relationships complicated by personal history.

1. Deal with the Devil (2020)

The first book introduces the main couple and the conflict that brings them together. It sets up the story continued in the sequels.

2. Luck of the Devil (2020)

The second installment develops the relationship and raises the stakes. It directly follows the first novel.

3. Heart of the Devil (2020)

The trilogy’s final book completes the central story. Read it after the first two titles.

4. Absolutely Perfect (2026)

This shorter spin-off novelette returns to the Forge world. It is an extra for readers who want to revisit the characters and setting after the trilogy.

5. Bastien’s Bride (expected February 2027)

This announced Forge World novella is planned as a future release. Its publication date may change, so treat it as forthcoming rather than an available installment.

12. The Legend Trilogy and Legend World

The Legend books center on Gabriel Legend and Scarlett Priest, whose very different backgrounds shape their relationship. The later spin-off expands the world beyond the original trilogy.

1. The Fall of Legend (2019)

Gabriel Legend has fought to survive and build a life for himself, while Scarlett Priest comes from a very different world. Their meeting creates the foundation for this romance.

2. House of Scarlett (2019)

The second book continues Gabriel and Scarlett’s story, developing the relationship and the challenges that threaten it.

3. The Fight for Forever (2020)

This novel concludes the original Legend Trilogy and completes the couple’s central arc.

4. Dreaming of You (2026)

This spin-off returns to the Legend world for the story of Q and Flynn. It can be read after the trilogy, especially if you want to understand the wider cast before following the new couple.

13. The Magnolia Duet

Set in the same broad interconnected world as several of March’s other romances, the Magnolia books follow a two-part story. The recommended order is important because the second novel continues the first.

1. Creole Kingpin (2018)

The first book introduces the central romance and the dangerous world surrounding its characters.

2. Madam Temptress (2018)

The sequel continues the story and brings the duet’s main relationship arc forward. Read it after Creole Kingpin.

14. The Flash Bang Series

The Flash Bang books take a different route from March’s billionaire and mafia romances, with a military-themed setting and ménage romance elements.

1. Flash Bang (2014)

The first book introduces the characters and relationship at the heart of the series. It is the right place to start if you want to explore this side of March’s writing.

2. Hard Charger (2015)

The second book offers another romance in the series. Read it after Flash Bang for the intended sequence.

15. Historical Romance

March has also written historical romance, including standalone stories and a series-style novella.

1. One Knight (2026)

This historical romance novella marks a different direction from her contemporary romances. It is a good option for readers who prefer a historical setting.

2. Always a Princess (2026)

This historical romance novella is listed as the first entry in the Unexpected Love series. It can be read as a starting point for that storyline.

3. The Pirate’s Lady (expected December 2026)

This announced historical romance novelette is planned for late 2026. It is a forthcoming title, so check its release status before adding it to a completed reading list.

4. The Contest for a Queen (2026)

This fantasy romance novelette explores a different kind of romantic setting from March’s contemporary work. It is a short read for readers curious about her newer genre experiments.

16. Standalone Contemporary Romance

These books can be read without following a longer series. They are useful starting points if you want a complete romance without committing to multiple installments.

1. Bad Judgment (2016)

This standalone contemporary romance is an option for readers who want a self-contained story. It does not require reading the Mount or Dirty books first.

2. Take Me Back (2017)

This standalone romance explores a relationship shaped by the past and the possibility of a second chance. It can be read independently of March’s other series.

3. Not Looking for Love (expected November 2026)

This announced contemporary romance novelette is planned for late 2026. It is a future release as of October 2026.

17. Creative Rebel’s Guide

March has also published a writing guide for readers interested in fiction craft rather than romance novels.

A Creative Rebel’s Guide to Writing Amazing Fiction (2023)

This nonfiction guide is aimed at writers who want to develop their fiction-writing skills. It is separate from the interconnected romance universe and can be read at any time.

Meghan March’s Suggested Reading Order

If you want to experience the interconnected characters and surprise appearances as the author intended, follow this general approach:

• Start with the Beneath series, beginning with Beneath This Mask.
• Read the Dirty Billionaire trilogy and Dirty Girl duet before Beneath These Shadows if you want extra context for the crossover.
• Continue through the Dirty, Mount, Savage, Sin, Forge, Legend, and Magnolia books.
• Finish with later spin-offs and novellas such as Redemption, Resurrection, Dreaming of You, and Cowboy Superstar.

There is no need to treat this as a strict rulebook. March’s books include interconnected standalones, and the author provides more than one suggested order for readers who prefer to start with the Mount Trilogy or Dirty Billionaire Trilogy.

Which Meghan March Book Should You Read First?

The best starting point depends on your favorite romance tropes.

My recommendation for a first-time reader is Beneath This Mask if you want to explore the interconnected world, or Dirty Billionaire if you prefer a fast-moving billionaire romance with a continuing three-book story.
