Elaine Manders has three standalone novels outside her many series. Cloaked in Love (2016), The Washwoman’s Christmas (2019), and The Perfect Gift (2020) are self-contained historical romances that let Manders tell complete stories without the ongoing characters of her series work.
These standalones are a good entry point for readers who want to sample Manders’s writing before committing to one of her longer series. They share the same frontier-era settings and romantic focus as her series fiction.
