The Sinful Books in Order

The Sinful Series is Erika Wilde’s collection of contemporary fairy-tale retellings, each one a full-length romance that takes the bones of a classic story and dresses them up in modern luxury, emotional baggage, and explicit heat. Instead of castles and dragons, you get exclusive hotels, ruthless businessmen, pop stars, and women determined to claim their own happy endings.

Sinful Surrender riffs on Beauty and the Beast. Maddux Wilder is a self-made tycoon who has built his empire with one goal: avenging the man who killed his parents. Arabella Cole, that man’s sheltered daughter, offers herself to Maddux in exchange for her father’s life. What starts as a cold-blooded act of revenge turns into a slow, consuming connection as Arabella sees past his ruthless exterior and he discovers that punishing her is not as satisfying as loving her.

Sinful Pleasures channels Cinderella. Elaina “Elle” Darien is driven and exhausted, trying to salvage the family business under the thumb of a wicked stepmother determined to sabotage her. A single enchanted night at the Wilder Way Fairy Tale Ball puts her in the path of Hunter Wilder, a man who does not believe in happily-ever-afters but cannot resist the woman in the couture gown and glass slippers. Their one-night escape collides with real-world responsibilities, forcing them to decide whether a fantasy can survive daylight.

Sinful Proposition nods to Lady and the Tramp. Remy Lowell has pulled himself up from a rough childhood to become a successful contractor, while Tempest Wilder is turning her erotic imagination into Wilder Things, a business that creates fantasy spaces for others. He is all grit and discipline, she is lavish and unapologetic, and as they design her sensual playgrounds together, business lines blur into something far more intimate. The book leans into class differences, trust issues, and what it means to build a future together instead of just a brand.

Sinful Desires is a Rapunzel story for the age of celebrity. Pop star Raevynn Walsh lives in a gilded cage built from contracts, security teams, and other people’s expectations. Collin Donovan, the man she once loved and lost, seizes a chance to see her again at the Wilder Way ball, and together they plot a temporary escape from her tightly controlled world. Their reunion forces them to confront old heartbreak, public scrutiny, and the question of whether Raevynn can ever truly be free.

Taken together, the series offers angsty, glamorous, very steamy romances that still keep the beating heart of their fairy-tale inspirations. You can read them in any order, but starting with Sinful Surrender lets you watch the interconnected Wilder circle grow from book to book.
