Seven Deadly Sins (Shantel Tessier) Books in Order

The Seven Deadly Sins books dive into the messiest corners of desire, following characters who wear their flaws almost like a dare. Instead of clean-cut heroes, you get men who know they’re sinners and women who are just as dangerous in their own ways.

Addiction introduces a loner who has built a life around vice—sex, money, and the rush that comes from living on the edge of the criminal world. He sees the seven deadly sins as tools rather than warnings, and the heroine becomes the one thing he craves more than the chaos he’s used to.

In Obsession, a vengeance-obsessed woman and a man with his own bloody history circle each other like predators. She wants payback, he’s willing to help even though it might be his undoing, and the connection between them feels more like a beautifully designed trap than a safe harbor.

Each book stands alone, but together they explore how far people will go when lust, envy, greed, and wrath start to feel like coping mechanisms instead of problems. There are clubs, backroom deals, and plenty of violence woven through the romances, along with a surprising amount of vulnerability when the masks finally slip.

These are some of Tessier’s grittiest stories—dark, explicit, and unapologetically focused on characters who don’t really want to be saved, only understood by the one person who is just as ruined as they are.
