The Mad Morelands is Candace Camp’s longest series, following an aristocratic Victorian family known for their eccentricities. The series began with Mesmerized (2003) and its first four books came out between 2003 and 2005. After a long gap, Camp returned to the Morelands in 2018 with His Sinful Touch and continued through His Improper Lady (2021).

The family’s “mad” reputation means that each Moreland must find a partner who can appreciate their unconventional ways. Camp uses the large family to explore different types of romance across the eight books, from dark Gothic-tinged stories to lighter comedic ones.
