How to Start the Lady Wynwood’s Spies Series (with Free Prequels & Bonus Extras)

New to Lady Wynwood’s Spies? Start Here

I’m a fan of both Pride and Prejudice and Mission: Impossible, and I loved the idea of noblewomen working as undercover agents, so I wrote this Christian Regency romantic suspense series for readers just like me.

Lady Wynwood’s Spies is a multi-volume adventure filled with faith, suspense, and romance. Unlike many historical romances that stand alone, each volume continues a larger story, pulling you further into the same grand conspiracy.

Along the way, the series draws you deeper into the characters’ struggles and triumphs, giving you a richer, more immersive experience.

If you love stories where you don’t have to say goodbye to the characters after just one book, this series was written for you.

Below is your complete reader guide to the books, prequels, bonus content, and behind-the-scenes extras. Whether you’re just curious or ready to dive in, this roadmap will help you find the perfect place to start.

✨ Lady Wynwood’s Spies Reader Journey Roadmap

It occurred to me that since my series is getting so long, it might be hard to know where to start. So here’s the recommended Reader Journey for my books, and I’ll keep updating the list as I add new bonus material.

At the moment, all my books are exclusive to Amazon in Kindle Unlimited. However, you should be able to read my books through your local library (ebook and paperback)—just use my Library Tip Sheet to request my books from your librarian or your library website.

Lissa and the Spy

This prequel novella doesn’t have as much suspense and action as the regular books in the series, but the humor is indicative of what I write. In the case of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, the romance is slow-burn, so each book in the series is not a stand-alone romance, but Lissa and the Spy is a stand-alone romance. If you like this book, there’s a good chance you’ll like the Lady Wynwood’s Spies series.

You can get this ebook free when you join my newsletter, or you can buy the Annotated Edition for only 99 cents on my website.

Lissa and the Spy Collection

Each collection has several bonus extras posts about the book.


A NOTE FROM CAMY: The following two books are optional, but some of the events are briefly mentioned in Volume 1: Archer. However, if the storylines don’t appeal to you, you can skip them.

The Spinster’s Christmas - A standalone romantic suspense prequel novel that occurs before The Gentleman Thief. A wounded naval officer and an impoverished spinster race to uncover a mysterious attacker at a Christmas house party.

“Bidding on Treason”

Prelude for a Lord

Waiting for the next book to release? Try this stand-alone Regency romantic suspense novel. It’s book 1 in my Gentlemen Quartet series, which I intend to continue after I finish Lady Wynwood’s Spies. Expect to see some crossover characters!

The Gentleman’s Quest

Still can’t get enough? This is a stand-alone Regency romantic suspense novella. No relation to the Lady Wynwood’s Spies world, but it’s a short, sweetly romantic mystery.

Captain’s Log, Stardate 03.14.2005 Knee update: I went to the doctor today for a checkup, and saw his assistant. I’ve been concerned because there’s still inflammation in my knee joint, and it’s been almost 4 months since the surgery. She said she’d talk to the doctor about it tomorrow and call me. Sometimes he suggests laying off the PT to see if that causes the inflammation to go away, but I don’t know if that will work because lately I’ve been pretty active outside of PT. At PT today, the therapist did ultrasound and some sort of electrical current on the joint. Hopefully that will make the inflammation start to go down. I’ll know by tomorrow, probably. Writing: Mt. Hermon conference starts this Friday! On Thursday night, I’ll be at the Santana Row Borders bookstore to help out (and hopefully learn a bit, too) at a booksigning for several of the ACFW authors who are attending Mt. Hermon . That should be lots of fun. I had a good brainstorming time at ...

I sold to Steeple Hill!

Captain's Log, Supplemental Remember that romantic suspense proposal I blogged about earlier? Well, it just sold to Steeple Hill’s Love Inspired Suspense line! I am so jazzed! I am beyond jazzed! The story’s working title is Sinister Spa The story's title is Deadly Intent and here’s a blurb (but it’s probably not what will appear on the back of the book): Massage therapist Naomi Grant could use a massage herself. With her father at home recovering from a stroke, Naomi is put in charge of the family’s elite day spa in Sonoma county. The new responsibilities sit awkwardly on her shoulders, and things only get worse when handsome Dr. Devon Knightley breezes into the spa, demanding to see one of the female clients. And the woman is found dead in Naomi’s massage room. Suddenly, Naomi is a suspect and her family’s spa is shut down. How could God let this awful thing happen? Devon only needed to see his ex-wife about a family necklace she still hadn’t returned, but when she dies and...

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci...

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th...
