The Scandalous Wentworths Books in Order

The Scandalous Wentworths is a slim series, at least in the books currently available here, but it has a clear identity. This is Stefanie London doing corporate romance with family reputation, inherited messes, and a hero who has to clean up far more than a balance sheet. The key title, Taken by the CEO, also works as a loose offshoot of the Behind the Bar world, which gives it one foot in familiar territory even while it shifts into a more polished business setting.

The setup is fast, sharp, and wonderfully inconvenient.

Emmaline Greene tells a small lie, has her first one-night stand, and then learns the man in question is Parker Wentworth, her new boss and the freshly appointed CEO of his family's company. Parker is back in Melbourne to repair the Wentworth name after scandal has damaged both the business and the family around it. He does not need distractions. Emmaline does not need complications. Naturally, they become both.

That premise tells you a lot about what this series is interested in. Power matters here, but so do vulnerability and reinvention. Parker has status, money, and responsibility, yet the real work of the story is personal. He has to reconnect with people, face family fallout, and decide what kind of leader, and what kind of man, he actually wants to be. Emmaline brings her own growth arc, stepping away from old patterns and trying on a version of herself that is bolder than the one everyone expects.

The tone is more workplace-driven than London's small-town books, but it still has her usual warmth and humor. There is chemistry, office tension, and a family empire in need of damage control, but the emotional focus stays on two people learning to take themselves seriously.

If you like contemporary romance with a CEO setup that still feels human, The Scandalous Wentworths is worth a look. Even as a short family series, it promises exactly what the name suggests, public mess, private longing, and a family whose reputation is almost as demanding as love itself.
