Hidden Riches books in chronological order
Series background & context
The Hidden Riches series blends Regency romance with treasure hunts, suspicious strangers, and the kind of old houses that seem to hold more secrets than their new owners expect. These are love stories, but the romantic stakes are tied closely to danger and discovery. A missing fortune or an inheritance is never simply a windfall. It can also bring unwanted attention, questions about trust, and a reason for two wary people to work together.
In The Mysteries of Hawthorn Hall, Lily-Anne Cole has spent her life as a maid and suddenly inherits an estate. She is not prepared for the rules of the ton, an unsettling new household, or the search for stolen diamonds hidden somewhere on the property. Timothy Hastings arrives with his own purpose and takes on the role of a groom, leaving Lily unsure whether he is her ally or part of the threat.
The series likes a good locked-door feeling, even when the doors are not literally locked.
The Treasure of Owl's Roost Abbey moves to Northumberland, where Tes Molina receives threatening letters demanding a treasure she does not possess. Dr. Liam Maclean is only meant to be passing through, but he becomes involved as the danger around Tes grows. The isolated abbey setting, the possibility of a hidden cache, and a faceless enemy give the romance a brisk suspense thread.
Both stories pair capable women with men who have their own worries and blind spots. Lily has to learn how to claim a place she never expected to hold. Tes wants to protect her family without being treated as helpless. Tim and Liam are protective, but they also have to earn the women's confidence rather than assume it.
The mysteries are central without overwhelming the emotional side of the books. Readers can expect clues, threats, secrets from the past, and characters who gradually learn what they mean to one another. The tone remains warm and romantic, with danger used to test trust rather than to turn the books into grim thrillers.
Start with The Mysteries of Hawthorn Hall for the clearest introduction to the series approach. Then continue to The Treasure of Owl's Roost Abbey for another standalone-style romance built around a family secret and a treasure that may be more trouble than it is worth.
