Johanna Lindsey wrote eighteen standalone novels between 1977 and 2019. These are independent stories and can be picked up in any order. Her earliest titles, Captive Bride and A Pirate’s Love, came out in the late 1970s, and she continued to publish standalones at a steady pace through the 1980s and 1990s with books like Secret Fire, Silver Angel, and Prisoner of My Desire.
The later half of the collection covers the 2000s and beyond. A Man to Call My Own arrived in 2003, followed by Marriage Most Scandalous in 2005 and When Passion Rules in 2011. Her final standalone, Temptation’s Darling, was published in 2019. Readers who enjoy one title can move freely to any other on the list without worrying about continuity between books.
