Lilian Harry’s standalone novels cover the full arc of her career. The earliest titles, starting with Moon Over the Mountains (1977), were published as Donna Baker and are category romances in the Harlequin and Mills & Boon traditions. These shorter novels are set in varied locations and follow the conventions of the genre: strong heroines, dramatic settings, and romantic conflict. Titles like Carver’s Bride (1982), Lucifer’s Brand (1982), and Sky High (1986) are typical of her output during this period.

By the mid-1990s, Harry shifted toward longer wartime fiction under her own pen name. Wives & Sweethearts (1999), Three Little Ships (2005), and A Penny A Day (2008) are set in and around Portsmouth during the Second World War and share the same community-focused approach as her series novels. The standalone list includes both the shorter romances and these longer historical novels, reflecting the two distinct phases of her writing career.
