The Mortimers: Wealthy & Wicked Books in Order

The Mortimers books lean away from the sky-high fantasy of Indigo Lounge and into the polished, expensive world of billionaire family drama. These are connected contemporary romances about powerful people who are used to getting what they want, until attraction, scandal, or an old hurt gets in the way. Money is everywhere in this series, but so are pride, resentment, family pressure, and the awkward fact that desire can make smart people act very badly.

Think private yachts, icy boardrooms, luxury hotels, and very public reputations.

At the center are members of the Mortimer circle, a rich, sharp-edged family whose love lives keep colliding with business. Worth the Risk drops Gideon Mortimer into a brutal test of self-control just when Leonie Branson becomes impossible to ignore. Pleasure Payback gives Damian Mortimer a heroine who wants revenge as much as she wants him. Her Every Fantasy shifts to Bryce Mortimer and an emotionally loaded reunion with Savannah Knight, proving that history can be just as dangerous as any business rival.

The series also knows how to change scenery without losing its identity. Driving Him Wild sends Graciela Mortimer and photographer Jensen Scott into the Alaskan wilderness, where isolation strips away first impressions fast. Enemies with Benefits moves back into the world of rivals, negotiations, and a deal that becomes much more intimate than either side planned. Even Close to the Edge, with its fixer hero and tech-genius heroine under lockdown in Silicon Valley, fits the same broader mood of wealth, danger, and temptation under pressure.

These are not slow, cozy books.

What links them is the rhythm. Each story throws two strong-willed people into a situation where professionalism, revenge, family duty, or self-protection ought to come first. Then Zara Cox lets chemistry make a mess of that plan. The pleasure of the series is watching polished exteriors crack. CEOs lose control. Rivals stop pretending they do not care. Ice-cold public personas turn out to be covering bruises, regrets, or plain old loneliness.

If you like standalone romances that still feel part of a shared world, this series does that well. You can read individual books on their own, but together they build a picture of a rich, ruthless social orbit where everybody is expected to look flawless and nobody actually is. The tone is sexy, fast, and emotionally direct, with enough travel and luxury to keep things glossy, and enough vulnerability underneath to give the heat some real bite.
