The Weekday Brides Books in Order

The Weekday Brides series is where many readers first meet the Alliance world, an elite matchmaking agency that quietly arranges practical, often temporary marriages for wealthy and high profile clients. On paper these are partnerships of convenience, crafted to solve problems like inheritance tangles, political campaigns, or the need for privacy. On the page they inevitably turn into real love stories with stubborn contracts in the way.

The journey starts with Wife by Wednesday, where British duke and businessman Blake Harrison hires matchmaker Samantha Elliott to pose as his wife so he can claim the rest of his inheritance. What is meant to be a tidy, one year arrangement becomes complicated by her family’s medical bills, his controlling relatives, and a simmering chemistry neither expected. Married by Monday pairs Carter Billings, a golden boy running for governor, with prickly Eliza Havens, whose secret past makes marriage feel like an impossible risk.

Subsequent books explore the wider circle around Alliance. Gwen Harrison, an English duchess running the agency’s Los Angeles office, falls for taciturn bodyguard Neil MacBain in Fiancé by Friday. Hollywood fake wife Karen and her movie star husband’s brother crash headlong into real feelings in Single by Saturday, while architecture graduate Judy Gardner and bodyguard Rick Evans tackle a chilling stalker in Taken by Tuesday. Each story balances glamorous settings with the grounded details of work, friends, and family obligations.

Seduced by Sunday and Treasured by Thursday take the action overseas, from a hyper private island resort to Italian villas and dangerous business deals. Matchmakers Meg Rosenthal and Gabriella Masini, used to orchestrating other people’s happily ever afters, find themselves entangled with powerful men whose secrets come with very real physical stakes. Threads of suspense run stronger in these later books, connecting Alliance with MacBain Security and laying the groundwork for the First Wives and Richter series.

Across all seven novels, the tone stays contemporary and character driven. The brides are capable women with careers of their own, not just stand ins in designer gowns, and the grooms range from titled aristocrats to actors and billionaires who learn to value partnership over power. Reading in order lets you watch the found family around Alliance and MacBain Security grow from book to book, turning a string of marriages into one long, satisfying saga.
