Scandalous Scions Books in Order

Scandalous Scions returns to the organized-crime world connected to the O'Malleys and Romanovs, but the focus shifts toward the next wave of complicated heirs. These are people who inherited names, enemies, and expectations before they had much say in the matter.

The Bastard's Betrayal centers on the pull between old family loyalties and a relationship that never broke cleanly. The emotional conflict is intimate, but the background is pure Robert crime-family trouble: secrets, rival legacies, and the danger of trusting someone who once had every reason to hurt you.

The past is not past here.

This series is a strong pick after the O'Malleys because it carries forward that same interest in power, family, and love under pressure. You can read the romance on its own, but the family context lands better if you already know the earlier underworld books.
