Amanda Cinelli Books in Order

Where to Start with Amanda Cinelli

For readers new to Amanda Cinelli's world of brooding billionaires, runaway brides, and glamorous European backdrops, the best starting point is The Greeks' Race to the Altar series. This series offers a perfect showcase of her signature blend of high-stakes family drama, emotional intensity, and luxury settings. Alternatively, if you want a shorter commitment, the Avelar Family Scandals duology provides a quick, satisfying entry point into her writing style.

The Greeks' Race to the Altar Series

This series centers around the three wealthy heirs of the Mytikas family patriarch, Zeus Mytikas. Upon his death, a final challenge is issued: whichever heir reaches the wedding altar first will inherit the massive family fortune. While the series is a collaborative effort with author Jackie Ashenden writing the second installment, the overarching storyline flows best when read in order.

Navigating Harlequin's Multi-Author Continuity Series

Throughout her career, Amanda Cinelli has contributed to several massive, thematic multi-author series for Harlequin Presents. These series are comprised of dozens of books by different authors, unified by a common trope (like surprise pregnancies or hidden heirs) rather than direct character continuity. You do not need to read the entire series in order; instead, you can jump straight to Amanda's standalone contributions:

Secret Heirs of Billionaires

In this expansive multi-author collection, Amanda Cinelli contributes The Secret to Marrying Marchesi (2016), which is cataloged as the 3rd book in the overall collection. It can be read entirely on its own.

One Night With Consequences

In this long-running Harlequin Presents thematic series, Cinelli contributed An Heir Fit for a King (2015), which was co-authored with Abby Green and is cataloged as the 9th book in the line.
