The Ladies and Legends series by Jayne Castle is a romance trilogy published in 1990, with each book built around a classic romantic hero archetype. The Pirate, The Adventurer, and The Cowboy each tell a standalone love story featuring the kind of bold, larger-than-life male lead that the titles promise.
Published during the period when Jayne Ann Krentz was using the Castle name for her category romance work, the series reflects the era’s appetite for themed trilogies. Each book pairs its legendary hero type with a heroine who can more than hold her own, creating the kind of chemistry-driven stories that would become a hallmark of Krentz’s long career.
