The Best Man books in chronological order
Series background & context
At the center of The Best Man is Abigail Berke, a wealthy young woman who has spent a long time trying to get away from the family that shaped her. She wants to make it on her own, even if that means scraping by as a freelance photographer and living far from the money, rules, and emotional damage she grew up with. Then she meets Alejandro, and what should have been a brief encounter turns into something neither of them can quite leave alone.
That is the hook of Claiming Abigail, and the rest of the series keeps pulling on it. Abigail is dragged back into family life by her brother's wedding, only to discover that Alejandro is the best man. From there the books work like a fast-moving serial, part enemies-to-lovers romance and part romantic suspense, with each installment pushing the relationship forward while widening the family mess around them.
This is not a quiet love story.
Abigail's father is the big shadow hanging over everything. He is wealthy, controlling, and tied to the kind of secrets that make every family gathering feel dangerous. Abigail wants answers, not just about his business dealings, but about the lies and losses that have shaped her life. As the series moves through Walk of Shame, Lust & Lies, Passion Kills, and Love Stings, her private rebellion turns into a real investigation.
Alejandro matters because he is never just the love interest. He is proud, sexy, frustrating, and often caught between protecting Abigail and getting pulled into the orbit of the very people she wants to escape. That keeps the romance tense. These two want each other, but they also wound each other, test each other, and keep running into questions of trust at the worst possible times.
The books are short and built around cliffhangers, so they read best in order and usually feel like one long story cut into quick episodes. Expect family drama, expensive settings, buried crimes, plenty of chemistry, and a heroine who refuses to stay in the role her family wrote for her. If you like romance with money, danger, and a stubborn couple who keep crashing back into each other, this series knows exactly what it is doing.
