About the Serve series

Serve is a shared, multi-author continuity series set around Serve, an exclusive BDSM club in New York City, with each book -- written by a different romance author -- following a new couple drawn into the club's orbit. Tessa Bailey wrote three of the eight entries: Owned by Fate, which opens the series with journalist Caroline Preston investigating the club and falling for its owner, Jonah Briggs; Exposed by Fate; and Driven by Fate, published later in the run. Her installments carry her usual blunt, high-heat, banter-first style, applied here to power-exchange and BDSM-club dynamics rather than her more typical small-town settings.

Because Serve is a true multi-author continuity (the other five books were written by Katee Robert, Joya Ryan, and Harper Kincaid), this page tracks only Tessa Bailey's contributions, in their place within the shared series' overall numbering. Readers who want the complete Serve continuity should look up the other authors' entries separately; readers who just want Bailey's voice within it can read her three books together without missing any of her own throughline.
