The Frontier Brides series by Joan Johnston collects western romances set in the rugged landscape of the American frontier. Beginning with The Inheritance (1995) and Maverick Heart (1995), the series follows women who face the hardships and adventures of western life while finding unexpected love. Later entries like Wyoming Bride (2012) and Montana Bride (2013) continue the frontier setting.
The series shares some titles with Johnston’s Mail-Order Brides books, as both deal with women starting new lives in the West. The frontier setting gives Johnston room for stories about self-reliance, survival, and the kind of romance that grows out of shared hardship.
