Jennifer Hartmann’s standalone novels make up the largest portion of her catalog, with thirteen titles published between 2020 and 2026. The books range in tone from the suspenseful darkness of Still Beating (2020), where two people are held captive and develop feelings for each other, to the sweeping years-long love story of June First (2022), which tracks two characters from childhood into adulthood. Lotus (2021) and The Wrong Heart (2021) continued her pattern of building romances around painful or unusual circumstances, with The Wrong Heart centering on a woman who receives a heart transplant and seeks out the donor’s family.
Later titles like Older (2024) and Catch the Sun (2024) show Hartmann continuing to write high-emotion romances with difficult subject matter. She rarely writes light or comedic stories, and her readers tend to come to her specifically for books that will make them cry before delivering a satisfying ending. The standalones do not share characters or settings, so they can be read in any order, though many fans recommend starting with either Still Beating or June First to get the best sense of what she does.
