Order of Susan Mallery Books
If there were ever a queen of contemporary romance and women’s fiction, Susan Mallery would be draped in that crown—with a wink, a glass of wine, and a heart full of stories. Born on March 5, 1970, in Los Angeles, California, Mallery has lived a life woven with words and driven by an imagination that refuses to settle for the ordinary. Although she hasn’t passed on (thankfully—her readers might riot), her legacy already feels immortal in the literary world, and she continues to grace us with book after brilliant book.
Mallery pursued her formal education with the same passion she would later infuse into her characters. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, of all things—a path seemingly far removed from fiction. But fate has a funny way of rerouting souls that are destined for storytelling. After graduating, she enrolled in the Master of Fine Arts program at Seton Hill University, where she honed her craft and began shaping what would become a luminous writing career. And boy, are readers grateful she swapped ledgers for love stories.
She published her first book in 1992, and since then, Susan Mallery has never looked back. With dozens upon dozens of novels, numerous bestsellers, and millions of copies sold worldwide, she’s built a literary empire that stretches from romantic trilogies to heartfelt standalone women’s fiction that dives deep into family dynamics, self-discovery, and second chances.
But don’t be fooled by the feel-good label—Mallery’s work isn’t fluff. Her novels are rich tapestries of complicated women, imperfect families, unexpected friendships, and simmering desires that often turn into love stories both sweet and stormy. With a deft blend of humor and emotional gravity, she explores the intricacies of life in a way that’s both comforting and daring. Just when you think everything’s wrapped in a neat bow, she throws in a twist that leaves you breathless.
Her Fool’s Gold and Happily Inc. series have been especially beloved, offering readers entire fictional communities they wish they could live in—where drama meets heart, and love never gives up, even when all hope seems lost.
Susan Mallery writes from her home in Washington state, where she shares life with her husband and beloved pets. An avid animal lover, she often features cats and dogs in her books—not just as background noise, but as characters that mirror the emotional journey of their humans.
And just like her books, Susan’s life is a beautiful balance between the real and the magical. She believes in hard work, vulnerability, and the kind of joy that comes only when you dare to follow your dreams.
What makes Susan Mallery’s bio truly ironic is that while she never really intended to be a romance powerhouse or a feminist voice wrapped in silk, she has become exactly that—a fierce, gentle narrator of women’s deepest desires and most relatable struggles.
So, if you haven’t already been swept up by her stories, just wait. You’ll crack open one book, thinking it’s a harmless beach read. But by the last page? You’ll find yourself rearranging your weekend plans to binge another.
Stay tuned, because the best stories from Susan Mallery might just be the ones she hasn’t written yet.
