Abby Green Books in Order

Where to Start Reading Abby Green

With over 60 contemporary romance novels written for Harlequin Presents and Mills & Boon, Irish author Abby Green is a master of high-intensity chemistry, glamorous global backdrops, and satisfying emotional journeys. If you are new to her work, finding the perfect entry point can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, her bibliography is highly accessible.

For the best introduction to her signature style, we recommend starting with one of these two books:

• The Maid's Best Kept Secret (2020): This reader favorite kicks off The Marchetti Dynasty trilogy. It is a passionate, emotionally resonant story of a housekeeper's unexpected relationship with a billionaire that showcases Green's talent for vulnerable, high-stakes romance.
• Breaking the Sheikh's Rules (2010): A RITA Award-nominated classic that launched the Desert Nights series. It delivers a perfect blend of exotic settings and intense, forbidden chemistry.

Most of Abby Green's novels are contemporary romances that can be read as standalones. However, her books are frequently grouped into two categories: her personal linked series (which follow specific families, brothers, or friend groups) and multi-author publisher lines. For her personal series, reading in publication order is highly recommended to avoid minor spoilers regarding character relationships and family dynamics.
