The Widows series launched in 2022 with Young Rich Widows, a collaborative thriller that brings together multiple authors under a shared premise. The books follow a group of widows whose lives become tangled in crime, secrets, and escalating danger.
Desperate Deadly Widows (2025) and Wicked Wanted Widows (2026) continue the story, raising the stakes with each installment. The co-authorship model gives each book a distinct energy, as different writers bring their own strengths to the shared characters and plot.
Readers should start with Young Rich Widows and read the series in publication order to follow the developing storylines and character arcs.
