About The Wildes of Lindow Castle

The Wildes of Lindow Castle follows the large, unconventional Wilde family -- headed by a duke with several children by different mothers -- as each Wilde sibling navigates society's disapproval and their own romances. Wilde in Love (2017) opens the series, followed by Too Wilde to Wed and Born to Be Wilde (both 2018), Say No to the Duke (2019), Say Yes to the Duke and My Last Duchess (both 2020), and Wilde Child (2021) closing out the seven-book run.

The Wildes' scandalous, blended family structure -- children from multiple relationships raised together under one roof -- gives James a fresh premise distinct from her earlier duchess- and sister-centered series, letting each sibling's search for love also double as a small rebellion against the family's public reputation.
