New to Ruby Scott’s books? This is the easiest way to begin.
If you love erotic lesbian romance and power dynamics
Begin with the Awakening of Desire series.
Six books following Abby and Victoria as power, trust, and tenderness collide. May I Call You Mistress is book one. The series has the longest reader letters in my inbox.
Perfect for fans of Harper Bliss, Anna Stone, and Milena McKay.
If you love age gap
Start with May I Call You Mistress?
Alot of my books in my catalogue carry the age gap dynamic, more than any other single trope I write. Sometimes the older woman holds the certainty. Sometimes the younger one walks in already knowing what she wants, and the older woman is the one whose breath catches. The full list with starting points is on the Best Sapphic Age Gap Romance page if you want a wider menu.
Perfect for fans of Anna Stone, Lola Keeley, and Lee Winter.
If you want slow-burn, emotionally intense lesbian romance
Start with The Healing Hearts series.
This is where most new readers fall in. Rescuing Hearts is book one, a Goldie Award finalist in Contemporary Romance. A flight attendant who never dates the same woman twice meets a paediatric surgeon at 33,000 feet, and the rule she has built her life around starts to come undone.
Perfect for fans of Clare Lydon, Rachel Lacey, and Lise Gold.

If you love enemies to lovers
Six books in my catalogue carry the enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Four of them live inside the City General hospital, where the workplace gives two women very few places to hide from each other. The fifth is the Stronger You boxing gym. And Wild Hearts in the The Healing Hearts Series. Either way, the genre runs on the moment hatred starts to look like something else. The full list with starting points is on the Best Sapphic Enemies to Lovers Romance page if you want a wider menu.
Perfect for fans of Lee Winter, Tamsyn Muir, Lee Winter and Hayley Cass.
If you want darker themes, suspense, or thrillers
Start with The Turning (Art of Deception #1).
The spy thriller series where the romance is built into the threat. Dangerous attraction, hidden loyalties, and the kind of tension that doesn't let up. If you'd rather start darker, Blood Marks is the sapphic romantasy with vampires and real teeth.
Perfect for fans of Lee Winter and Milena McKay.
If you prefer an audiobook
Most of the catalogue is in audio.
The Awakening of Desire audiobooks pull the longest reader reviews, mostly about the narration. The Healing Hearts series is in audio too, narrated by Abby Craden, a voice sapphic romance listeners will already know.
