The Bound Hearts series (2003-2017) is one of Lora Leigh’s longest-running erotic romance series, spanning thirteen books over fourteen years. Starting with Surrender (2003), the series follows connected couples whose stories are linked through friendship, family, and shared social circles.

Each book centers on a new couple but revisits characters from earlier entries. The series moved from its initial digital-first releases (Surrender, Seduction, Wicked Intent) into mass-market paperback with Forbidden Pleasure (2007), and continued through titles like Only Pleasure (2009), Guilty Pleasure (2010), and Dangerous Pleasure (2011). Secret Pleasure (2015) and Intense Pleasure (2017) brought the series into its later phase. Throughout all thirteen books, themes of trust, boundaries, and emotional vulnerability run alongside the explicit content the series is known for.
