Westmoreland Books in Order

Judith McNaught’s Westmoreland books follow one powerful family across centuries, starting in the late Middle Ages and ending in the glitter of Regency London. Each novel stands on its own, but together they read like a dynasty saga built around honor, passion, and stubborn pride.

The story begins in A Kingdom of Dreams, set during the violent tensions between England and Scotland. Jennifer Merrick is a laird’s spirited daughter who ends up a hostage of Royce Westmoreland, the English commander known as the Wolf. Their forced proximity, arranged marriage, and clashing loyalties turn a straightforward war story into a slow slide from enemies to reluctant allies to something much deeper.

Generations later, Whitney, My Love moves the action into the Regency era. Whitney Stone, once a mischievous country girl, returns from years in France determined to win the man she has loved since childhood. Instead she discovers her bankrupt father has promised her to Clayton Westmoreland, the Duke of Claymore. The novel leans into glittering ballrooms, tangled misunderstandings, and the push‑pull of a heroine who wants both independence and a partner who will meet her as an equal.

Until You shifts the spotlight to Clayton’s brother Stephen and to Sheridan Bromleigh, an American teacher hired to escort a wealthy heiress to England. When Sheridan is injured and loses her memory, she’s mistaken for her former pupil and wakes up in Stephen’s house with no idea who she is. The book threads amnesia, mistaken identity, and fish‑out‑of‑water humor through a romance that also shows a more thoughtful side of the famously rakish Westmoreland brother.

The novella Miracles acts as a coda to the series. Set at Christmas, it follows world‑weary aristocrat Nicki DuVille and Julianna Skeffington, a young woman who would rather engineer a scandal than submit to the wrong marriage. Their story is shorter but lets familiar characters reappear, tying off loose ends and giving long‑time readers one last visit with the wider Westmoreland circle.

Across the books you’ll see certain hallmarks: strong‑willed heroines who refuse to be tamed, proud heroes learning how to bend, and families whose loyalty can be both a shield and a weapon. The tone is dramatic and emotional, with big gestures, sharp banter, and the kind of conflicts that threaten not only the couple but also their place in society.

You can dip into any Westmoreland title on its own, but readers who enjoy a sense of lineage often like to start with A Kingdom of Dreams and read forward. That way, each cameo and reference feels like catching sight of an old friend at the edge of the ballroom.
