Order of Rita Herron Books

Rita Herron is an American author known for her romance and romantic suspense novels. She is a USA Today bestselling author who discovered her passion for reading at the age of 8 when she read her first Trixie Belden book. Although she aspired to be a writer, she initially believed it wasn't a viable career, so she became a kindergarten teacher. Now, instead of sharing stories in the classroom, she writes them down, allowing her to pursue her passion without needing a "real" job. Rita enjoys crafting romantic suspense tales that blend murder, mystery, and romance, along with some romantic comedies. She has published over fifty books, many of which are part of series like Hartwell Hope Chests, Bachelor Pact, Nighthawk Island, Bucking Bronc Lodge, Slaughter Creek, Manhunt, Cold Case, Heroes of Horseshoe Creek, and others. Below is a list of Rita Herron’s books in the order of their initial publication.
