Laura Marie Altom has been writing romance novels since 1988, when she debuted with Twilight in the Babies & Bachelors USA Series. Over the following three and a half decades, she published 178 books across 22 series, making her one of the most productive authors in the Harlequin and category romance world. Her earliest work appeared under the Harlequin American Romance and Silhouette Romance imprints, with titles like Oh, Baby! (1994), Reform of the Rake (1994), and Sentenced to Sabrina (1998).
Through the 2000s, Laura Marie Altom built a massive catalog of family-centered romances. Her Fatherhood series alone spans 35 books and includes titles like Daddy By Choice (2005), Dancing With Dalton (2007), and Rodeo Daughter (2012). The Buckhorn Ranch series (2010-2011) brought her into western territory with The Bull Rider’s Christmas Baby and The Rancher’s Twin Troubles, while the U.S. Marshals series (2005-2021) added romantic suspense to her lineup with books like Hunted, Chased, and Prey.
Her later career leaned heavily into military romance. The Operation Family series (2003-2014) paired SEAL heroes with surprise babies and stolen children. The Cowboy SEALs series (2015-2019) blended ranch settings with military backgrounds across nine books. SEAL Team: Disavowed (2016-2018) took a darker, grittier approach with titles like Rogue, Exiled, and Scorned, while SEAL Team: Holiday Heroes (2017-2022) matched holiday themes with military family stories. She also branched into steamier territory with the Shamed series (2014-2016) and billionaire romance with Bad Boys with Billions (2020).
