Her Smoky Mountain series, which began with Smoky Mountain Reunion in 2007, is her longest-running work and includes 14 novels featuring different couples in mountain communities. Stepp draws on her experience living in the region to create settings that feel specific and lived-in.
Beyond the Smokies, Stepp has written the Edisto series set on the South Carolina coast, the Mountain Home series exploring various Appalachian settings, and the Lighthouse Sisters duology.
