Alternative text for cover: Cover of Sins of a DukeThe Griffin Family follows a large, tightly bonded set of aristocratic siblings -- the Griffins -- as each navigates London society's marriage market in turn. Sin and Sensibility (2004) opens the series, followed by An Invitation to Sin (2005) and Something Sinful (2006), with Sins of a Duke (2007) closing out the quartet. Each novel follows a different Griffin sibling toward their own match, with the family's shared household and reputation as connective tissue.
Enoch builds the series around the family's collective standing in society -- each sibling's scandal or triumph reflects on the others -- giving the four books a slightly higher-stakes, more socially entangled feel than her earlier trios like Lessons in Love or With This Ring.
Four: Sin and Sensibility (2004), An Invitation to Sin (2005), Something Sinful (2006), and Sins of a Duke (2007).
All four follow siblings of the same aristocratic Griffin family, whose shared reputation and household connect each sibling's individual romance.
Publication order: Sin and Sensibility, An Invitation to Sin, Something Sinful, then Sins of a Duke.
No -- it's a standalone quartet, unconnected to her Lessons in Love or Notorious Gentlemen series.
None has been announced as of August 2026; the series appears complete.
