Ella James’s standalone novels are separate from her series work and offer complete romantic stories in single volumes. Hate You Not, published in 2020, features a enemies-to-lovers or reluctant-attraction dynamic suggested by the title. Want, published in 2022, is a more recent release that deals with desire and the complications that come with acting on it.
These standalones give readers a compact alternative to James’s multi-book series. Both books carry the emotional intensity and physical heat that characterize her series work, packaged in a format that does not require a commitment to multiple sequels.
