The Dawson Family series follows a group of siblings through six contemporary romances published between 2018 and 2020. Each book is named with a phrase that hints at the conflict: Cheat Codes, End Game, Side Hustle, Cheap Trick, Fight Dirty, and Rock Bottom. The titles suggest characters who play by their own rules.
Emily Goodwin uses the family structure to create recurring characters and ongoing dynamics across the series. Each sibling gets a book, and the others show up as supporting characters. The Dawson family runs on loyalty and stubbornness, and both traits fuel the romantic conflicts in each entry.
