Gill Paul’s standalone novels span her entire fiction career, from early titles like Enticement (2000) and Compulsion (2001) to her later bestsellers. Women & Children First (2012) marked her turn toward historical fiction, and The Secret Affair (2013) continued that direction. The Secret Wife (2016) was her breakthrough, telling the story of a Romanov Grand Duchess and a cavalry officer whose love story resonates into the present day.
Her subsequent novels have maintained the dual-timeline structure and focus on real historical women. Another Woman’s Husband (2017) explored the lives of Wallis Simpson and Princess Diana, The Lost Daughter (2018) dealt with the Romanov family again, and Jackie and Maria (2020) examined the rivalry between Jackie Kennedy and Maria Callas. The Collector’s Daughter (2021), The Manhattan Girls (2022), A Beautiful Rival (2023), and Scandalous Women (2024) have kept Paul at the top of historical fiction charts.
