Make Me (Beth Kery) Books in Order

Make Me is one of Beth Kery's serial romances, so it is built to pull you forward in sharp, fast installments. At the center are investigative journalist Harper McFaddan and secretive software mogul Jacob Latimer. She arrives at Lake Tahoe carrying fresh grief and looking for peace. He is wealthy, powerful, and surrounded by rumors. Together, that is not exactly a recipe for a quiet life.

The hook is simple and effective. Harper is drawn to Jacob almost immediately, but she is also a reporter, which means curiosity is built into her bones. Jacob, meanwhile, is used to controlling what the world sees of him. That gives the series its push and pull. Harper wants closeness and truth. Jacob wants Harper, but truth is much harder for him to offer.

Lake Tahoe matters here.

Kery uses the setting well, the still water, the wealth, the isolation, the sense that beautiful places can still hold ugly histories. The series moves between emotional recovery, erotic obsession, and a slow unspooling mystery about Jacob's past and the story behind his rise. Because it was written as a serial, each part tends to end with a new emotional or plot complication, which makes it easy to keep going.

What sets Make Me apart from some billionaire romances is that Harper is not just dazzled by Jacob's money. She is interested, suspicious, wounded, and stubborn in equal measure. Their relationship is hot from the start, but Kery keeps layering in questions about grief, power, identity, and whether two people can ever really know each other when both are protecting old damage.

If you want a Beth Kery series that mixes high sexual tension with secrets, emotional fallout, and a moody modern setting, this is a strong place to land. Read it as the complete novel if you want the whole arc at once, or in parts if you like the cliffhanger rhythm of the original release.
