C.M. Steele Books in Order

Where to Start Reading C.M. Steele

With a bibliography spanning well over 100 titles, diving into the world of C.M. Steele can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, her novels are almost all quick, high-heat, 'insta-love' contemporary or paranormal romances featuring possessive alpha heroes and sweet heroines. Because she writes in self-contained series, you do not need to read her entire catalog in a single chronological sequence. Instead, the best path is to choose a specific series trope that appeals to you and follow that series from the beginning.

For the definitive C.M. Steele experience, we recommend starting with one of her two core solo series:

• For Contemporary Alpha Romance: Start with Stone (2019), the first book in her popular Obsessed Alpha series. This book perfectly establishes her signature style of immediate attraction, high steam, and protective heroes.
• For Motorcycle Club Romance: Start with Boomer (2018), the kickoff to the fan-favorite Steele Riders MC series. It balances the gritty loyalty of an outlaw motorcycle club with a sweet, fast-paced love story.

C.M. Steele's Core Solo Series

C.M. Steele's solo series are the backbone of her work. Here is how they break down and the recommended reading order for each.

Obsessed Alpha Series

The Obsessed Alpha series is C.M. Steele's signature collection, focusing on hyper-possessive heroes who fall instantly in love and will stop at nothing to claim and protect their partners. While each book is a standalone story featuring a different couple, reading them in order of release allows you to spot minor cameos and recurring themes:

1. Stone (2019)
2. Cole (2019)
3. Graham (2019)
4. Theo (2019)
5. Maddox (2019)
6. Alessandro (2020)

10. Jake (2023)
11. Sawyer (2024)

Steele Riders MC & Steele Riders Family

The Steele Riders MC series follows the members of a motorcycle club as they find their matches. These books should be read in publication order to keep track of the club's evolving background dynamics:

1. Boomer (2018)
2. Mick (2018)
3. Jackson (2018)
4. Doc (2019)
5. Beast (2020)
6. Ghost (2020)

She also wrote a spin-off series, the Steele Riders Family, which focuses on the children and relatives of the original club members. To prevent spoilers, read these after completing the main MC books:

1. Holiday Knockout (2019)
2. His Siren (2020)
3. Mike (2023)

The Conti and Bianchi Mob Families

For readers who love mafia romance, Steele has two interconnected mob series. The Bianchi Crime Family books are tight, fast-paced mafia romances that should be read in order:

1. Married to the Mob (2021)
2. Captured by the Mob (2021)
3. Owned by the Mob (2021)

Her newer series, The Conti Crime Family, follows a similar theme of dangerous men falling hard for their women:

1. Alessio (2023)
2. Dario (2023)
3. Enrico (2023)
4. Matteo (2023)
5. Gio (2024)

Paranormal Romance: Wolfe Creek and Lamian Wars

If you prefer shifter romance, Steele has two primary paranormal worlds. Wolfe Creek is a pack shifter series that should be read in order of release:

1. Wolfe's Den (2015)
2. Beta: Her Alpha (2016)
3. Raging Kane (2016)
4. Written in History (2016)

1. My Gold (2017)
2. My Property (2017)
3. My Forever (2017)
4. My Prince Charming (2021)

Understanding the Multi-Author Shared Worlds

A significant portion of C.M. Steele's bibliography consists of contributions to collaborative, multi-author shared worlds. It is important to know that you do not need to read the entire multi-author series to enjoy her books—you can easily read just her standalone contributions.

Susan Stoker's Operation Alpha

C.M. Steele is a major contributor to Susan Stoker's Kindle World project, Police and Fire: Operation Alpha. These books are set in Stoker's romantic suspense universe. While most are standalone stories, Steele has written direct duets within this world. For example, Guarding Hope (2019) and Guarding Forever (2020) follow the same couple, Gage and Hope, and must be read in order.

Men of Valor MC

The Men of Valor MC is a collaborative series featuring ex-military bikers. C.M. Steele and other popular romance authors like Frankie Love and Hope Ford each wrote individual standalone books set in the same club. Steele's contributions fit seamlessly into the club's continuity but can be read on their own.

Filthy Dirty Desires and Filthy Dirty Summer

These collections are themed series of quick, standalone novellas released by a group of indie romance authors. You can pick up C.M. Steele's entries—such as Bred Winner or Waxing His Board—individually without needing to read the other authors' books to understand the plot.

What to Know Before You Start

C.M. Steele's books are designed to be fast, low-angst, and high-heat. They heavily feature the 'insta-love' trope, where characters fall in love almost immediately, and possessive, protective alpha males who are completely devoted to their heroines. If you are looking for slow-burn romance or complex, long-running plots, these might not be the books for you. However, if you want a quick, satisfying read with a guaranteed Happily Ever After (HEA) and no cheating, her catalog is a perfect escape.
