Families are Forever is a thirteen-book multi-author series from 1998-2000. The books center on the formation and preservation of family bonds, with romances built around adoption, blended families, single parenthood, and family reunions. Karen Templeton contributed several entries alongside other Silhouette authors.
The series reflects a period when Silhouette was publishing heavily themed collections. The family-focused premise aligns perfectly with Templeton’s own interests as a writer, and her contributions show the warmth and practicality that would define her later original series.
