Unexpected Prince Charming Books in Order

Unexpected Prince Charming takes Ava Miles’s love of small towns across the Atlantic to the fictional Irish village of Caisleán. The series revolves around an arts center perched in the hills, a handful of outsiders seeking reinvention, and a mischievous matchmaking ghost who refuses to let stubborn humans miss their shot at love.

Each book focuses on a different woman who arrives in Caisleán with a history to outrun and a creative gift to share. In Beside Golden Irish Fields, burned-out artist Angie Newcastle travels to teach painting classes and clashes with reclusive sheep farmer Carrick Fitzgerald, whose flock sports inspiring messages sprayed on their wool. Beneath Pearly Irish Skies pairs widowed single mom Megan Bennett with Kade Donovan, the gentle owner of a pony-therapy farm.

Through Crimson Irish Light follows stained-glass artist Ellie Buchanan, desperate to be known for her work rather than her billionaire father’s fortune, as she creates a daring installation and falls for poetic postman Brady McGrath. In After Indigo Irish Nights, tough Boston metal sculptor Kathleen O’Connor meets butcher Declan McGrath, a man whose soft heart is buried under layers of armor.

Later books like Beyond Rosy Irish Twilight and Over Verdant Irish Hills widen the lens to include older heroines and famous artists starting over with children in tow. Bets O’Hanlon, a widow who put herself last for years, plans a new arts center with charming cowboy investor Linc Buchanan. Glass artist Sophie Giombetti hunts for fresh inspiration and a gentler life for her daughter, only to find both in local schoolteacher Jamie Fitzgerald.

Throughout, the town itself feels like a character, full of musicians, nosy neighbors, and just enough folklore to make the everyday feel enchanted.

The stories balance laugh-out-loud moments with real stakes around grief, divorce, career burnout, and the courage it takes to leave an old life behind. Sorcha, the resident ghost, nudges couples together in ways that are more sweet than spooky, keeping the tone firmly in warm, contemporary romance rather than paranormal.

You can read the series in order to watch the arts center and community evolve, or jump in wherever a particular heroine’s journey speaks to you. Either way, expect lush Irish landscapes, creative work at the heart of each plot, and the reassuring sense that even far from home, you can find your people.
