Multi-author anthologies have been a regular part of Lindsay McKenna’s publishing history, giving her space to contribute shorter work to themed collections alongside other romance writers. The six volumes gathered here span more than two decades, from Silhouette Christmas Stories, 1990 to Coming Home for Christmas in 2014.
The holiday titles – Silhouette Christmas Stories, Mission: Christmas, and Coming Home for Christmas – reflect how consistently McKenna returned to seasonal themes across her career. The military-themed anthologies, particularly Lovers Dark and Dangerous (1994) and The Heart’s Command (2002), sit naturally alongside her series work from the same periods, showing the kind of military romance storytelling she was doing in her longer fiction.
Dangerous to Love (2002) rounds out the collection with a title that suggests the romantic suspense side of her writing. For readers who collect anthologies or who want to read McKenna’s shorter collaborative work, these six volumes give a wide sample of the different contexts in which she placed her fiction over the years.
