Tremayne Family Romance Books in Order

Anna J. Stewart's Tremayne Family Romance books are contemporary romances set around the wealthy, complicated Tremayne family and the wider Lantano Valley community. These stories combine family expectations, secrets, ambition, and attraction with characters who are trying to make choices that are right for themselves, not simply for their surname.

The series begins with Asking for Trouble. Morgan Tremayne is committed to keeping a children's charity afloat, even when conventional fundraising is not enough. Her connection to a modern Robin Hood-style thief puts her in a difficult position. Gage Juliano, a former detective now working for the district attorney, is trying to protect his own career while tracking down the thief.

Their chemistry creates a problem neither can ignore.

Morgan and Gage's relationship has to survive competing loyalties. Morgan sees the immediate good that is being done for children. Gage sees a crime that cannot be excused simply because the target is wealthy. Their story establishes the series' interest in moral gray areas and the way family reputation can complicate even good intentions.

The Tremayne books also connect to Stewart's Lantano Valley stories, which turn toward a close group of book-club friends. Characters move through the same social world, so readers get a sense of a larger community where the prominent families and ordinary lives overlap. The romances are contemporary and emotionally direct, with a little more heat than her Heartwarming titles.

Expect strong-willed heroines, men who have to learn that control is not the same as trust, and problems that cannot be solved with a grand gesture alone. Family loyalty matters, but it is not always easy. The characters have to decide which traditions to preserve and which rules no longer serve them.

Start with Asking for Trouble to meet Morgan, Gage, and the Tremayne family dynamic. From there, continue in order for the clearest view of the linked Lantano Valley world and the people whose friendships and family ties keep crossing paths.
