For The Love of Purple Books in Order

For The Love of Purple is a small-town contemporary series with a light brush of magic, written under the Audrey Faye name and grouped here under Debora Geary. It follows three lifelong friends who share an affection for the color purple, a knack for odd jobs and a willingness to start over when their old lives no longer fit.

The catalyst is Indigo, an astrologer with restless feet and a tendency to read both star charts and people. When an ordinary spring day refuses to settle, she bundles her two best friends, Blue and Violet, into a car and goes chasing whatever the universe is trying to tell her. That impulsive road trip lands them in Perception Bay, a quirky coastal town that feels unexpectedly like home.

Across the series, each book focuses on one friend’s journey. Indigo follows the woman who started it all as she navigates the pull between adventure and roots, and meets Drew, a man whose life is as off-kilter as her own charts suggest. Blue turns the spotlight on the group’s builder, a practical woman who is far more comfortable fixing other people’s houses than tending to her own heart. Her opposite number is Grim, a reclusive artist whose clay has opinions about this newcomer with dusty boots and wary eyes.

Violet completes the trio. She is empathic in more than one sense, easily overwhelmed by others’ feelings yet gifted at seeing what will genuinely comfort them, even down to choosing the right pillow. Her story pairs her with Linus, an autistic baker who returns to his hometown for a short stint in his aunt’s bakery and finds that being understood on his own terms might be worth staying for.

Perception Bay itself is a character in the series: full of nosy but mostly well-meaning neighbors, a bay that offers quiet refuge, and a faintly supernatural nudge in the form of a matchmaking ghost with a fondness for purple. The stakes are intimate rather than epic. The books dig into boundaries, sensory overload, community expectations and what it means to be different in a place that is still learning how to welcome difference.

Readers who enjoy slow-burn relationships, neurodiverse characters handled with care, and stories where the biggest victories look like honest conversations and small town traditions will find For The Love of Purple a gentle place to land. While each book tells a complete romance, reading them in order lets you watch the three friends build their shop, their friendships and their versions of home.
