Eden Hall (Sheri Richey) Books in Order

The Eden Hall series is a set of connected contemporary romances centered on a Chicago foster home for boys and the extended family that grows around it. Each book gives a different character a turn at the center, but Eden Hall remains the shared place that gives the series its heart. It is a home, a responsibility, and a reason for people with very different pasts to keep showing up for one another.

The series opens with Finding Eden, which introduces Mary Alayna Dalton. By day, Mary is a capable professional. Outside work, she is a musician and a caregiver to young men who are moving out of foster care. When Clark Dulanty enters her life through work and then discovers the part of her life she keeps separate, the book begins a romance shaped by trust, competing responsibilities, and the question of whether two people can make room for the whole truth about each other.

Eden Hall is not just a backdrop.

In Saving Eden, Ryan Holt steps in when the home faces an uncertain future after its longtime administrator retires. Ryan has long felt connected to Eden Hall, even though he grew up next door rather than inside it. A newspaper assignment brings reporter TJ McCord into his orbit, and their relationship develops alongside Ryan’s effort to protect a place that matters to many people.

Healing Eden turns to Vincent Dane, who is carrying regrets and unresolved feelings from the past. His work in emergency medicine gives the story a more urgent day-to-day setting, but its focus is still personal. Vincent’s chance to reconnect with Carlee asks both characters to deal with the things that went unsaid before they can decide what comes next.

The later books broaden the circle. In Protecting Eden, Chicago police detective Sean Clary returns to active duty after an injury and meets Carena Cabot, a woman whose past puts her in danger. Completing Eden follows Seth McGinnis, the last single member of the group, as he tries to balance privacy, responsibility, Brogan’s Pub, and a future he has kept to himself.

These are relationship stories first. The stakes come from jobs, family, caregiving, old hurts, public pressure, and the hard work of letting someone close. Reading in order is the best choice because the supporting characters’ lives overlap and change across the five books. Readers can expect a found-family feel, a Chicago setting, and romances that treat community as something people build through repeated acts of care.
