Judith McNaught is one of the best-known names in romance fiction, and her standalone novels show the range of her writing across several decades. Starting with Tender Triumph in 1983 and Double Standards in 1984, these early works helped build her reputation for strong heroines and complex emotional storylines. Both books feature women facing difficult choices in love and career.
The collection also includes Someone to Watch Over Me (2003), a romantic suspense novel about a woman who wakes from a coma with no memory of the accident that nearly killed her, and The Sweetest Thing (2018), which came much later in McNaught’s career. Whether set in boardrooms or small towns, these standalone novels share McNaught’s talent for creating tension between her leads and delivering satisfying resolutions.
