The Captive Western Widows series follows six women who share both widowhood and Scottish-heritage surnames. All six books were published in 2024, with titles running from Liberating Mrs. McPhee through Liberating Mrs. McTavish. Each story follows a widow breaking free from restrictive circumstances to find a new life and new love in the American West.
The “Liberating” title structure makes the theme explicit: these are stories about women who have been constrained by their situations and are ready to claim their independence, with romance providing both the motivation and the reward.
