The Bachelors and Babies series puts frontier men in the unexpected position of caring for infants. Published in 2019-2020, the 15 books follow men named in each title (Trace, Logan, Carter, Barclay, and so on) who suddenly have babies in their care and need wives to help raise them.

The baby-as-catalyst premise creates natural urgency for each marriage arrangement and adds a domestic warmth to the Western setting. These are stories where tough frontier men are softened by small children, and the women who step in find both ready-made families and unexpected romance.
