Pineapple Grove books in chronological order
Series background & context
Pineapple Grove is the sunshine side of Drake's connected romance world. Set in a small South Florida town, the series trades big security operations for beach air, local businesses, and the kind of community where everyone knows one another's business long before the main characters are ready to admit their feelings.
That does not make the books small.
What the series loses in gunfire, it gains in atmosphere. Jace's quiet life collides with celebrity attention when a movie star lands in town. Drew's novella leans into bright opposites-attract energy. Wesley's book turns local loyalty into the main source of conflict when outside development threatens the place he loves most.
The town is what ties it all together. Pineapple Grove feels like a real shared setting, not just a backdrop with palm trees. Galleries, bed-and-breakfasts, cottages, restaurants, and beaches all matter because the characters care so much about staying rooted there. That gives the romances a slightly different question than the bigger city books. It is not only who do I love, but what kind of life do I want to build, and where.
This series also sits beside Unbreakable Bonds and Ward Security, so readers who know those books will spot the larger family ties around the edges. Even so, Pineapple Grove is gentler in feel.
If you want small-town MM romance with heat, humor, and a lot of affection for place, this is Drake's easiest beach read.
