Understanding the Shared World Series
If you look at lists of Collette Cameron's books online, you might see massive series with over fifty titles, such as The Lyon's Den, Wicked Earls' Club, or Revenge of the Wallflowers. It is important to know that these are multi-author shared universes curated by publishers like Dragonblade Publishing.
Instead of writing all these books herself, Cameron collaborated with other historical romance authors (such as Alanna Lucas, Amanda Mariel, and Sydney Jane Baily). She contributed specific standalone novels to these collections. You do not need to read the entire multi-author series to enjoy her books; her contributions can be read entirely on their own or alongside her other solo series where characters overlap.
For example, in The Lyon's Den Connected World, Cameron wrote the standalone romance Loved by the Lyon (2020). In the Wicked Earls' Club series, she wrote specific titles like Earl of Sussex (2018), Earl of Westcliff (2018), Earl of Wainthorpe (2021), and Earl of Keyworth (2021)—some of which also double as entries in her own Seductive Scoundrels universe.
