Samantha Scott Books in Order

The Samantha Scott series is Rachel Robinson's paranormal-romance world, built around magic, danger, divided loyalties, and a young woman trying to claim a life of her own. It is a change of pace from her military romances, though readers will still find the same interest in relationships tested by secrets, fear, and hard choices.

Everything begins with Samantha.

In Escaped, Samantha Scott is a light Bruxa, a witch with precious magic and a past she is trying to outrun. She has escaped the only life she has known and must figure out how to live in the ordinary world without giving up the part of herself that makes her different. She cannot simply disappear, though. Questions about who to trust, who is loyal, and what really happened in her past keep pulling her toward danger.

The magical world is not a safe refuge. Samantha is caught in conflict between light and dark Bruxas, while the controlling forces she left behind are not willing to let her go easily. Friends and possible allies can have their own reasons for helping her, so trust becomes one of the main tensions running through the story. Romance is part of the mix, but it sits beside magic, threats, and Samantha's fight to define herself.

Embraced continues Samantha's story rather than beginning a completely separate romance. The stakes rise as choices made in the first book have consequences, and the series digs further into the pull between light and dark magic. Familiar names, including Malakai and Xander, remain part of a world where affection and allegiance are not always easy to separate.

Some decisions change everything.

The tone is paranormal and romantic, with witches, spells, talismans, danger, and a love-triangle element. Portugal is part of the series' magical landscape, helping give the books a setting beyond an ordinary contemporary romance town. The stories move quickly through external threats, but Samantha's inner question remains just as important: how far should she go to protect the people she loves without losing herself?

This series is best read in order because Embraced follows directly from the events and relationships established in Escaped. Start with Escaped to meet Samantha while she is on the run and learning who she can trust. Then continue to Embraced for the next stage of her fight with the forces around her and the choices inside her own heart.

Readers looking for Robinson's earlier paranormal work will find a more magic-driven story here, with romance woven through a dangerous struggle for freedom, belonging, and truth.
