Cause and Cure Is You Books in Order

The Cause and Cure Is You series centers on Keys, a young single mom trying to keep life steady for herself and her daughter, Destiny. She loves her child, she loves having her own money, and she’s used to depending on herself.

When it comes to dating, Keys keeps things blunt. She’s not hunting for love, and she doesn’t pretend she is. In the first book, she’s comfortable treating men as temporary company, because feelings have been a letdown more times than she can count.

Then Ivy shows up. He’s a successful CEO with a cold exterior and a private hunger for real connection. Ivy isn’t used to being denied, and Keys isn’t used to a man who keeps showing up after the first shutdown. Their chemistry is obvious, but so is the clash in how they move through the world.

Keys wants him, but she doesn’t want what comes with him.

Destiny is always in the room, even when she isn’t.

The heart of the series is that push and pull: Keys protecting her peace and her child, Ivy trying to crack the walls she’s built, and both of them wrestling with pride. The story also plays with power in a realistic way, because Ivy’s money and status don’t automatically translate into trust, especially for a woman who has learned to spot a red flag from a mile away. Ivy has to prove he can show up consistently, not just sweep in with charm and promises.

In the second book, the relationship runs straight into betrayal. Keys catches Ivy with a former flame, and the fallout isn’t just hurt feelings, it’s humiliation and anger that’s hard to walk back. Ivy wants her back, but wanting isn’t the same as earning. Family pressure adds another layer, including a mother who would rather keep Keys out of Ivy’s life than watch her son change for her.

While the books are steamy and romantic, they also spend time on the practical stuff: boundaries, accountability, and what it means to let someone into a life you’ve already built. The series doesn’t pretend forgiveness is automatic, or that love fixes everything on its own.

Across the two books, you can expect an emotional contemporary romance with sharp dialogue, intense attraction, and real consequences. It asks a simple question in a complicated way: when someone has been your “cause” and your “cure,” do you fight for them, or finally choose yourself?
