36 Hours is a multi-author romance series built around a crisis that unfolds in real time. The original books, published between 1997 and 2001, follow multiple couples whose lives collide during a single dramatic event. Cinderella stories, father-and-child reunions, runaway brides, and crimes in progress all play out within the same compressed timeframe.
The series was reissued in 2014 with many entries divided into three-part serials for digital readers. Kasey Michaels was one of several authors contributing to the franchise, which combines the multi-author romance format with the urgency of a ticking-clock plot.
