Dynasties: Seven Sins (Cat Schield) Books in Order

Dynasties: Seven Sins is a high-stakes contemporary romance saga shaped by the fallout from financial betrayal. Years before the series begins, Vernon Lowell stole millions from relatives and clients through Black Crescent Investments, then disappeared. The damage he left behind reaches far beyond money. His children and the families he hurt are left to deal with anger, mistrust, and a company whose future is uncertain.

The series follows several connected characters as Black Crescent searches for leadership and stability. Each book has its own central romance, but the larger story is about a damaged dynasty trying to move forward without ignoring what happened. Family members carry different versions of the past, and no one agrees on what loyalty should look like after such a public collapse.

The Seven Sins title signals the emotional terrain. Desire, pride, resentment, greed, and envy all complicate the characters' choices. The books are not morality tales, though. They are relationship stories about people who have been defined by scandal and need to decide whether they will keep letting it run their lives.

Cat Schield's Untamed Passion focuses on Oliver Lowell, a photographer and the youngest Lowell son, and Sammi Guzman, a successful model. After one intense night leaves Sammi pregnant, Oliver is determined to take responsibility. But he has spent years dealing with anger toward his father and fears he does not know how to build the kind of family Sammi and their child deserve.

The past does not stay politely in the past.

Oliver and Sammi's story gives the larger continuity a more intimate angle. Their connection is not mainly about corporate control. It is about learning to trust, handling the pressure of unexpected parenthood, and refusing to repeat the damage done by earlier generations. Sammi also has to push back against the demands placed on her career and her life.

Expect Manhattan glamour, family power struggles, private pain made public, and romances that ask whether love can survive when a surname carries so much baggage. The books work as individual reads, but the series arc is richer in order because Black Crescent's history and the Lowell family tensions develop across the installments. Begin at book one if you want the full corporate-family mystery, then continue through Untamed Passion for Oliver's chapter.
