Jennifer Shirk’s standalone novels span nearly her entire career, from her 2008 debut The Role of a Lifetime through A Little Paris Christmas in 2025. These books sit outside her named series but share the same style: sweet romance with humor, likable characters, and settings that range from small-town America to Paris at Christmas.
The Role of a Lifetime was Shirk’s first published novel and introduced her signature blend of lighthearted romance with just enough conflict to keep things interesting. Her standalone titles are a good entry point for readers unfamiliar with her work, as each one tells a complete story without needing any series context.
