Jillian Hunter’s standalone novels represent the range of her early career before the Boscastle Family series began. Heart of the Storm (1985) and Shadow of Splendor (1987) were her first published romances, while Tiger Dance (1991) moves the action to colonial Southeast Asia. A Deeper Magic (1994) and Glenlyon’s Bride (1995) bring the setting to Scotland.
Later standalones like Fairy Tale (1997), Daring (1998), and Delight (1998) continued to develop Hunter’s style of witty, atmospheric historical romance. The Husband Hunt (2002) was the last standalone before she shifted her focus to the Boscastle series. These earlier books show the development of the playful narrative voice that would define her later connected-family stories.
