Janet Dailey’s standalone novels number 55 books published between 1976 and 2013, forming the bulk of her non-series output. The range is wide, from early category romances like Sweet Promise and Something Extra to longer novels like The Great Alone (1986), a sweeping saga set in Alaska.

The standalone collection includes holiday-themed romances (Eve’s Christmas, Mistletoe and Holly, Searching For Santa), family dramas (The Lancaster Men, Heiress), and contemporary love stories set across the American landscape. Several of these titles were later grouped into the Americana and other series collections, but they also stand on their own as independent reads.
