Ruthless Daddies is a nine-book dark M/M daddy romance series, with every title published in 2022. Each book carries a single, stark word as its name: Cold, Debt, Grudge, Broken, Midnight, Cash, Savage, Conflicted, and Brutal. The naming style signals the series’ tone, which is grittier and more intense than Holmes’ lighter daddy romance work.

The series proved popular enough to generate a sequel series, Ruthless Daddies 2, the following year. Each book features a different dominant daddy and his partner, but the stories share a connected world where characters cross paths. Readers should start with Cold and work through in order for the full experience.
