The Seven Deadly Sins Books in Order

The Seven Deadly Sins series is where M.E. Clayton's published bibliography begins, and it already shows many of the things she likes best: rich and forceful heroes, strong chemistry, linked friend groups, and romance that starts moving fast once the right two people collide. These are contemporary romances with plenty of money, privilege, and stubborn personalities in the mix.

The core four books, Catching Avery, Chasing Quinn, Claiming Isabella, and Conquering Kam, each focus on a different couple connected through work, friendship, and the larger social circle around several powerful men. Girls' nights out, workplace rules, bad first meetings, and instant attraction all become entry points into relationships that get serious much faster than the heroines expect.

The men are not subtle.

That is part of the series identity. Nicholas, Chase, Julian, and Kane all approach romance with a lot of certainty, while Avery, Quinn, Isabella, and Kam are left figuring out what to do when being noticed by the wrong man starts to feel a lot like being chosen by the right one. The books are lighter than Clayton's darkest work, but they still have a strong sense of control and possessiveness.

Capturing Happiness works as a family-style follow-up, checking in on the wider group through Trystan's wedding day and giving the whole series a celebratory wrap-up. That makes the set feel complete in a satisfying way, especially if you enjoy seeing how a connected cast settles after the main romances land.

If you want a good starting point for Clayton's style, this series makes sense. It is early, punchy, and clearly interested in the same things she would keep exploring later, love stories shaped by status, personality, and people who absolutely refuse to play it cool.
