Jess Michaels’ standalone novels offer individual Regency romances that don’t require series knowledge. Seven Nights (2011), Mismatched Under the Mistletoe (2020), and 100 Nights with the Duke (2022) each deliver a complete love story in one book.
Seven Nights plays on the concept of a limited-time arrangement between two people who agree to a week together, a premise that lets Michaels build tension quickly. Mismatched Under the Mistletoe brings a Christmas setting to a story about two people who seem wrong for each other. 100 Nights with the Duke, the most recent, stretches the arrangement concept across a longer timeline.
These standalones are a good fit for readers who want to sample Michaels’ writing without committing to one of her multi-book series. Each one contains the same mix of historical detail and romantic tension that runs through her connected works.
