The Hathaways Books in Order

The Hathaways series tracks an eccentric family who unexpectedly inherit a title and tumble into the fringes of aristocratic society. Set mostly in Victorian England, it bridges the world of the Wallflowers and the later Ravenels, sharing locations and side characters while telling its own self‑contained love stories.

When an unforeseen inheritance elevates the family to the ranks of the gentry, practical eldest sister Amelia suddenly finds herself responsible for a crumbling estate, a gambling‑addicted brother, and three very different younger sisters. In Mine Till Midnight, her efforts to keep everyone afloat bring her into constant contact with Cam Rohan, a half‑Romany man tied to the nearby estate of Stony Cross Park. Their chemistry—and Cam’s yearning to walk away from conventional life—sets the stage for the blend of class conflict and deep loyalty that runs through the series.

Seduce Me at Sunrise focuses on Win Hathaway, whose health was shattered by scarlet fever, and Kev Merripen, the brooding Romany boy her family rescued years before. Win’s determination to claim a full life of her own, and Merripen’s belief that his past makes him unworthy of her, turn their childhood bond into an intense, almost painful slow burn.

In Tempt Me at Twilight, middle sister Poppy longs for a quiet, respectable existence but instead falls for Harry Rutledge, a brilliant, secretive hotelier who orchestrates a scandal to force her into marriage. Married By Morning pairs weary rake Leo Hathaway, now Lord Ramsay, with his prim companion Catherine Marks in a battle of sharp tongues and hidden wounds. Finally, Love in the Afternoon gives free‑spirited animal lover Beatrix Hathaway her own story, built around letters to a soldier at the front and the complicated truth that awaits him at home.

A short story, A Hathaway Wedding, slots between books two and three and lets readers revisit the entire clan during Win and Kev’s chaotic, charming wedding day.

Taken together, the Hathaways novels are about a family that feels delightfully wrong for the world they’ve been dropped into. They break etiquette, collect unusual pets, argue fiercely and love one another even more fiercely. Readers who enjoy big ensemble casts, recurring in‑jokes and emotionally satisfying pairings will find this series a rewarding middle chapter in Kleypas’s larger historical universe.
